If you can keep your head when all about you
　　Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
　　If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
　　But make allowance for their doubting too;
　　If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
　　Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
　　Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
　　And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
　　If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
　　If you can meet withTriumph[1]and Disaster
　　And treat those twoimpostors[2]just the same;
　　If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
　　Twisted byknaves[3]to make a trap for fools,
　　Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
　　Andstoop[4]and build’ em up with worn out tools;

　　If you can make one heap of all your winnings
　　And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss
　　And lose, and start again at your beginnings
　　And never breathe a word about your loss;
　　If you can force your heart and nerve andsinew[5]
　　To serve your turn long after they are gone,
　　And so hold on when there is nothing in you
　　Except theWill[6]which says to them: “Hold on!”

　　If you can talk with crowds and keep yourvirtue[7],
　　Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch;
　　If neitherfoes[8]nor loving friends can hurt you;
　　If all mencount with[9]you, but none too much;
　　If you can fill theunforgiving[10]minute
　　With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run——
　　Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
　　And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

如果周围的人亳无理性地向你发难，你仍能镇定

自若保持冷静；

如果众人对你心存猜忌，你仍能自信如常并认为

他们的猜忌情有可原；

如果你肯耐心等待不急不躁

或遭人诽谤却不以牙还牙

或遭人憎恨却不以恶报恶

既不装腔作势，亦不气盛趾高

如果你有梦想，而又不为梦主宰

如果你有神思，而又不走火入魔

如果你坦然面对胜利和灾难，对虚渺的胜负荣辱

胸怀旷荡

如果你能忍受有这样的无赖，歪曲你的口吐真言

蒙骗笨汉

或看着心血铸就的事业崩溃，仍能忍辱负重脚踏

实地重新攀登

如果你敢把取得的一切胜利，为了更崇高的目标

孤注一掷

面临失去，决心从头再来而绝口不提自己的损失

如果人们早已离你而去，你仍能坚守阵地奋力前

驱

身上已一无所有，唯存意志在高喊"顶住"

如果你跟平民交谈而不变谦虚之态，亦或与王侯散步

而不露谄媚之颜

如果敌友都无法对你造成伤害

如果众人对你信赖有加却不过分依赖

如果你能惜时如金利用每一分钟不可追回的光阴

那么，你的修为就会如天地般博大，并拥有了属

于自己的世界，更重要的是：

孩子，你成为了真正顶天立地之人！

When I wake up each morning

and see you next to me

I know that my day will be all right

Sometimes it is hard

to put feelings into words

but I want you to know

how you affect me

When I wake up

and see you in the morning

I am so happy

that we are together

I respect you

I admire you

I love you deeply

When I wake up each morning

and see you next to me

no matter what happens

I know that my day will

be all right

每天早晨当我醒来

看到你在我身旁

我知道我这一天将会一切都好

有时很难用话语来表达感受

但是我想让你知道你是怎样影响着我

当我早晨醒来看到你

我是那么开心我们在一起

我尊重你敬佩你又深深地爱着你

每天早晨当我醒来

看到你在我身旁

不管会发生什么

我知道我的一天将会一切都好

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look,

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled,

And paced upon the mountains overhead,

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

当你年老鬓白，昏沉欲睡，

坐在炉边打盹，取下这本诗集，

缓缓读起，梦忆你过去可人的双眼，

那脉脉秋水，她们曾经是多么的深情和曼美；

多少人曾爱过和你美好时光的愉悦，

多少人又曾或真或假倾慕你的容颜，

但唯有一个人爱你圣洁高雅的心灵，

爱你那铅华洗尽，年老色衰的憔悴；

你在炽红壁炉前低头沉吟，

喃喃细语，默念曾经消逝的爱情，

而它们却早已步入连绵峰谷山峦，

如同爱你的他，将脸庞藏于那漫天繁星。

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

I Carry Your Heart with Me

我将你的心带上

I carry your heart with me

我将你的心带上

I carry it in my heart

放进我心里

I am never without it

从未分离

anywhere I go you go, my dear;

无论我前往何方都有你伴我身旁

and whatever is done by only me is your doing,

即便我单独成事

my darling

那也是出于我的爱人，你的力量

I fear no fate

面对命运我从不恐慌

for you are my fate, my sweet

只因你就是我命运的方向

I want no world for beautiful

万千世界于我皆如浮云

you are my world, my true

只因你在我眼中就是天地四方

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

你永远是月亮所想表达的

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

太阳所想歌唱的

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

这秘密无人知晓，在我心底埋藏

here is the root of the root

它是根本中的根本

and the bud of the bud

稚嫩中的稚嫩

and the sky of the sky

是天上天

and of a tree called life;

是生命之树在生长

which grows higher than the soul can hope

这棵树高于灵魂之期盼，

or mind can hide

高于思想之所

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

及是造化的奇迹，能够隔离参商

I carry your heart

我将你的心带上

I carry it in my heart

放进我心里
