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
兰斯顿·休斯陈采霞译
紧紧抓住梦想，
因为一旦梦想消亡，
生活就象折断翅膀的小鸟，
无法自由翱翔。
紧紧抓住梦想，
因为一旦梦想离开，
生活就会变成贫瘠荒芜的土地，
只有冰雪覆盖。
WHAT IS SUCCESS
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is success?
To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give oneself;
To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier，
Because you have lived...
This is to have succeeded.
成功的内涵
拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生陈采霞译
成功是什么?
笑口常开，爱心永在，
赢得智者的尊重，
孩子们的爱戴;
博得真诚的认可，
容忍损友的背叛;
欣赏美好的东西，
发现别人的可爱。
学会无私地奉献，
给世界增添光彩：
要么培育出健康的孩子，
要么留下花园一块，
亦或是改善社会条件;
尽情娱乐、笑得畅快，
把欢乐的歌唱起来;
甚至知道一个生命活得自在，
因为你的一路走来……
这就是成功的内涵。
TODAY IS A NEW DAY
Donna Levine
Your tomorrows are as bright
as you want to make them.
There is no reason to carry
the darkness of the past
with you into today.
Today is a wonderful new experience，
full of every possibility to make
your life exactly what you want it to be.
Today is the beginning of new happiness,
new directions and new relationships.
Today is the day to remind yourself
that you posses the power
and strength you need
to bring contentment, love and joy into your life.
Today is the day to understand yourself
and to give yourself the love
and the patience that you need.
Today is the day to move forward
towards your bright tomorrow.
今天是新的一天
唐那·莱文陈采霞译
你的明天充满阳光，
如你心中所想。
你没有理由，
把昨天的黑暗，
带到今天。
今天是美妙的全新体验，
有那么多种可能，
使你的生活如你所愿。
今天开始有新的幸福，
新的方向和新的伙伴。
今天你要提醒自己，
你有足够的能力和力量，
把满意、爱情和欢乐带进你的生活。
今天你要了解自己，
给自己足够的爱心和耐心。
今天你会勇往直前，
奔向那灿烂的明天。

a tear and a smile 眼泪和微笑
by khalil gibran
纪伯伦著 长风译
i would not exchange the sorrows of my heart
for the joys of the multitude.
and i would not have the tears that sadness makes
to flow from my every part turn into laughter.
i would that my life remain a tear and a smile.
我不愿用世俗的欢娱来换取内心的悲戚;
也不愿让我忧伤的眼泪变成浅薄的嬉笑。
我宁愿生活里有眼泪也有微笑。
a tear to purify my heart and give me understanding.
of life's secrets and hidden things.
a smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my kind and
to be a symbol of my glorification of the gods.
眼泪纯净内心，让我明白
生活的奥秘;
微笑带来良友，是我荣耀
上帝的印记。
a tear to unite me with those of broken heart;
a smile to be a sign of my joy in existence.
眼泪使我体会心碎之人的忧伤;
微笑是我快乐生活的模样。
i would rather that i died in yearning and longing than that i live weary and despairing.
与其在绝望和挣扎中苟活，
不如在希翼和盼望中死亡。
i want the hunger for love and beauty to be in the
depths of my spirit,for i have seen those who are
satisfied the most wretched of people.
i have heard the sigh of those in yearning and longing, and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.
我渴慕爱情，崇尚完美，
因为邪恶使人肮脏污秽。
我听过充满渴望的轻唱，
它胜过世上最美的乐章。
on joy and sorrow
by kahill gilbran
欢乐与忧伤---纪伯伦
then a woman said, “speak to us of joy and sorrow.”
and he answered: your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
and the selfsame well from
which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
一位妇人说：请给我们谈谈欢乐和忧伤。
他回答：你们的欢乐是无法掩饰的忧伤。
你欢笑的泉眼常常也饱含着泪水。
and how else can it be?
the deeper that sorrow carves into your being.
the more joy you can contain.
is not the cup that hold your wine the very cup
that was burned in the potter’s oven?
and is not the lute that soothes your spirit,
the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
除此之外，又当如何?
镌刻在你们身上的忧伤愈深，你们能盛装的欢乐愈多。
斟满了美酒的杯盏，难道不是曾在陶工炉火中锻造的杯盏吗?
when you are joyous, look deep into your heart and
you shall find it is only that which has given
you sorrow that is giving you joy.
when you are sorrowful look again in your heart,
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for
that which has been your delight.
当你们快乐时，审视自己的内心，
你们会发现曾经的忧伤如今却让你们快乐。
当你们忧伤时，再次审视自己的内心，
你们会发现曾经的快乐如今却让你们流泪。
some of you say, “nay, sorrow is the greater.”
but i say unto you, they are inseparable.
together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board,
remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
你们中有些人说：“欢乐胜于忧伤。”
另一些人则说：“不，忧伤更伟大。”
但我要说，他们是相辅相成的。
它们一同降临，当其中一个单独与你同坐时，
记住另一个正在你的床上安歇。
verily you are suspended like scales
between your sorrow and your joy.
only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
when the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh
his gold and his silver, needs must your
joy or your sorrow rise or fall.
的确，你们就像在忧伤与欢乐之间摇摆不定的天平。
只有当你们彻底空虚时，你们才能平衡稳定。
把你浮沉不定的快乐和悲伤都留给
那用你来称量金银的守财奴吧。
