No.1

If
I
Can
Stop
One
Heart
From
Breaking

Emily Dickinson




If
I
can
stop
one
heart
from
breaking,

I shall not live in vain;

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

假如我能弥合一个破碎的心灵


Emily Dickinson




假如我


能弥合一个破碎的心灵


我就没有虚度此生；


假如我


能使一个饱受折磨的人的痛苦得
到减轻，


或者帮助一只小鸟，
一只垂危的知
更，


重新回到它的鸟巢，去见它的双
亲，


我就没有虚度此生。




No.2

Dreams

Langston Hughes




Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.




Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

梦想


Langston Hughes




千万不能丢掉梦想，


因为假如梦想破灭


生活就像小鸟断了翅膀，


再也不能展翅飞翔。





千万不能丢掉梦想，


因为梦想一旦离去


生活就像冬天的田野那样荒凉，


冰封大地白雪茫茫。

Do You Fear the Wind?

Hamilton Garland




Do you fear the force of the wind,

The slash of the rain?

Go face them and fight them,

Be savage again.

Go hungry and cold like the wolf,

Go wade like the crane:

The
palms
of
your
hands
will
thicken,

The skin of your checks will tan,

You’ll
grow
ragged
and
weary
and
swarthy,

But you’ll walk like a man!

你怕风吗？


Hamilton Garland




你怕风吹雨打吗？


那你就勇敢地迎上去与它拼搏，


重新过野蛮人的生活吧！


像狼那样挨饿受冻，


像鹤那样涉水过河；


你的手掌会变粗，


你的面颊会晒红。


你会衣衫褴褛，


浑身黝黑，






疲惫不堪，


但那时你走起路来，


就会像一个顶天立地的真正男子
汉！

A Nation’s Strength

Ralph Waldo Emerson




Not gold, but only man can make






A people great and strong;

Men
who,
for
truth
and
honor’s
sake,






Stand fast and suffer long.

Brave
men
who
work
while
others
sleep,

Who dare while others fly
—


They build a nation’s pillars deep






And lift them to the sky.

国力


Ralph Waldo Emerson




什么才能使一个民族伟大强盛？


不是金子，


而只有人；


只有那些英雄，


他们为了真理，为了民族的光荣，

坚定不移，不惜牺牲。


在懒汉们酣睡的时候，


勇敢的人们却在忘我劳动。


当懦夫们望风而逃，


我们的英雄却在冲锋陷阵。


是他们建造了支撑祖国大厦的柱
石，


使它们拔地而起，高耸入云。

Silver

Walter de la Mare




Slowly, silently, now the moon

Walks the night in her silver shoon;

This
way,
and
that,
she
peers,
and
sees

Silver fruit upon silver trees;

One by one the casements catch

Her
beams
beneath
the
silvery
thatch;

Couched in the kennel, like a log.

With paws of silver sleeps the dog;

From
their
shadowy
cote
the
white
breasts peep

Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;

A
harvest
mouse
goes
scampering
by,

With silver claws and a silver eye

And
moveless
fish
in
the
water
gleam,

By silver reeds in a silver stream.
