The Oak
By Alfred Tennyson
Live thy life,
Young and old,
Like yon oak,1
Bright in spring,
Living gold;
Summer-rich,
Then; and then
Autumn-changed,
Sober-hued2
Gold again.
All his leaves
Fall’n at length,
Look, he stands,
Trunk and bough,
Naked strength.
橡 树
[英国]丁尼生
像它一样生活吧,
不论你老幼,
像那棵橡树,
春天里充满生机;
像鲜亮的金子;
夏天里茂盛,
然后;然后,
秋天里成熟,
它色泽朴实
又像黄金。
它所有的树叶,
最终掉落,
看啊,它挺立着,
只剩树干和树枝,
光秃的力量。
(张剑 译)

How Happy Is the Little Stone
by Emily Dickinson
How happy is the little stone.
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn't care about careers,
And exigencies- never fears
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
in casual simplicity——
幸福的小石头
[美国]艾米莉·狄金森
多幸福的小石头啊,
独自在路上漫步,
不汲汲于功名,
也从不为变故担心;
匆匆而过的宇宙,
也得披上它自然褐色的外衣。
它独立不羁如太阳,
与从同辉,或独自闪光,
在一种不经意的朴素里,
它决然顺应天意。

A House of Cards
by C. G. Rossetti
(1)
A house of cards
Is neat and small;
Shake the table,
It must fall.
(2)
Find the court cards
One by one;
Raise it, roof it,
Now it's done;
Shake the table!
That's the fun.
纸牌堆砌的房子
[英国]罗塞蒂
纸牌堆成的房子
洁净及小巧
摇摇桌子
它一定会倒
找出绘有人像的纸牌
一张一张地竖起
再加上顶盖
现在房子已经盖好
摇摇桌子
那就是它的乐趣

The Mountain And The Squirrel
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mountain and the squirrel
Had a quarrel,
And the former called the latter
"Little prig."
Bun replied,
"You are doubtless very big;
But all sorts of things and weather
Must be taken in together
To make up a year
And a sphere.
And I think it no disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I'm not so large as you,
You are not so small as I,
And not half so spry:
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track.
Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut."
山 峰 和 松 鼠
[美国]爱默生
山峰和松鼠
发生了争吵,
山峰叫松鼠“小偷”
松鼠回答:你的确很高大;
但万物和气象,都必须融为一体,
形成年岁,界定领域。
因而占据自己的地盘,我并不以此为辱。
就算我没有你那般伟岸,
你也不像我这么小巧,敏捷更比我逊色一半;
我并不否认,你开辟了一道相当可爱的鼠径。
禀赋迥异,万物各就其位;
倘若我不能将森林背负,
你也无法将坚果打破。

A Hippo is Bounding Around on My Head
by Anonymous
A hippo is bounding around on my head.
Gorillas are banging on drums.
A rhino is charging me full speed ahead
while a crocodile's eyeing my thumbs.
A rattlesnake's winding his way up my side.
A tiger is sniffing my clothes.
A grizzly just grabbed me, his mouth open wide.
A tarantula's perched on my nose.
I'm drowning, surrounded by man-eating sharks.
An elephant sits on my chest.
Yes, that's how it feels when the teacher remarks,
"Grab your pencils. It's time for the test."
我与动物们共舞
佚名
河马一直围绕在我的头部,
大猩猩敲击着鼓。
犀牛承载着我全速前进。
然而一只鳄鱼盯着笨手笨脚的我。
一条响尾蛇缠绕在我的身体上。
老虎闻着我的衣服。
一直灰熊抓住我,并张开它的大嘴。
狼蛛栖息在我的鼻子。
我掉到了水里,鲨鱼包围了我。
大象坐在我的胸部。
是的,当老师评论的时候那是什么样的感觉。
“拿起你的笔,考验你的时候到了。”

The More Loving One
by W.H. Auden
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total darkness sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.
成为更有爱心的人
[英国]奥登
仰望群星的时分,我一清二楚,
尽管它们关怀备至,我亦有可能赴地府,
可是尘世间我们丝毫不必畏惧,
人类或禽兽的那份冷漠。
倘若群星燃烧着关怀我们的激情,
我们却无法回报,我们作何感想?
倘若无法产生同样的感情,
让我成为更有爱心的人。
尽管我自视为群星的崇拜者,
它们满不在乎,
现在我看群星,我却难以启齿,
说我成天思念一颗星星。
倘若所有的星星消失或者消亡,
我应该学会仰望空荡的天空,
同时感受天空一片漆黑的崇高,
虽然这样可能要花费一点时间。

FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE
by Neil Simon
Don t listen to those who say,
"It’s not done that way.”
Maybe it’s not, but maybe you will.
Don’t listen to those who say,
"You’re taking too big a chance.”
Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor,
and it would surely be rubbed out by today.
Most importantly, don’t listen
When the little voice of fear inside of you
rear its ugly head and says,
"They’re all smarter than you out there.
They’re more talented,
They’re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections……"
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you,
Not to the exclusion of love,sensitivity, and cooperation with others,
But with the strength of conviction
That you can move others by your own efforts,
And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,
The chances are you’ll be a person worthy of your own respect.
走 自 己 的 路
[美国]尼尔-西蒙
别听那些人的话,
"这事不能那么做。"
也许是不能那么做,
可是也许你就会那么做。
别听那些人的话,
"你这个险冒得太大了。"
米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画,
到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。
最重要的是,
当你心中恐惧的声音,
抬起它丑陋的头说,
"那边那些人都比你聪明,
他们更有才华,
他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运,
并且认识各种各样的人…"
你可千万别理会。
我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路,
不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作,
而是坚定地认为,
通过你自身的努力能够感动他人,
不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准,
那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。
