A Grain of Sand 一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉.布莱克
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild fllower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
从一粒沙子看到一个世界,
从一朵野花看到一个天堂,
把握在你手心里的就是无限,
永恒也就消融于一个时辰
Heart, we will forget him!Heart, we will forget him! You an I, tonight! You may forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light. When you have done, pray tell me That I my thoughts may dim; Haste! lest while you're lagging. I may remember him!
心啊,我们把他忘记 心啊,我们把他忘记! 我和你—今夜! 你可以忘掉他给的温暖— 我要把光忘却! 当你忘毕,请给个信息, 好让我立即开始! 快!免得当你迁延— 我又把他想起!
My Life Closed Twice Before it ClosedMy life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.
我的生命结束前已结束过两次 我的生命结束前已结束过两次 它还要等着看 永恒是否会向我展示 第三次事件. 象前两次一样重大 一样,令人心灰望绝. 离别,是我们对天堂体验的全部, 对地狱短缺的一切.
这首顺口溜是英语国家民间很受欢迎的鹅妈妈故事之一.Humpty-dumpty 是一只大鸡蛋.一位美丽的公主把它带进皇宫,让它坐在墙头上看国王的车队回宫.它看得太起劲了,不小心摔下来就碎了.英语里的Humpty-dumpty 比喻一经损坏就无法修复的东西. 如果我能使一颗心免于哀伤If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.
If you were a teardrop;In my eye,
For fear of losing you,I would never cry.
And if the golden sun,Should cease to shine its light,
Just one smile from you,Would make my whole world bright.如果你是我眼里的一滴泪，为了不失去你，我将永不哭泣；如果金色的阳光停止了它耀眼的光芒，你的一个微笑，将照亮我的整个世界。
Thank you for comforting me when I'm sad
Loving me when I'm mad
Picking me up when I'm down
Thank you for being my friend and being around
Teaching me the meaning of love
Encouraging me when I need a shove
But most of all thank you for
Loving me for who I am感谢你在我伤心时安慰我，
当我生气时你护著我，
当我沮丧时你拉拔我。
感谢你作我的朋友并且在我身旁，
教导我爱的意义是什么，
当我需要动力时你鼓励我。Love is more than a word,
It says so much.
When I see these four letters,
I almost feel your touch.
This only happened since
I fell in love with you.
Why this word does this,
I haven't got a clue.
Love不单是一个字，
它还代表了许多意涵，
当我看到这四个字母时，
我几乎能感受到你内心的感动。
但是这只发生在，
我爱上你之后You're always there for me
When things tend to go wrong
It's that faith you have in me
That makes our love strong当我需要你时你永远在那里，
就算是我犯了错误也没关系，
是你对我坚定的信心，
让我们的爱更加茁壮。

ALWAYS HAVE A DREAM
Forget about the days when it's been cloudy.
But don't forget your hours in the sun.
Forget about the times you have been defeated.
But don't forget the victories you have won.
Forget about the misfortunes you have encountered.
But don't forget the times your luck has turned.
Forget about the days when you have been lonely.
But don't forget the friendly smiles you have seen.
Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right.
But don't forget to always have a dream.
忘掉你失意的日子，但不要忘记黄金的时光。
忘掉你的一次次失败，但不要忘记你夺取的胜利。
忘掉你遭遇的不幸，但不要忘记你的时来运转。

忘掉你没有得以顺利实施的计划，但不要放弃你的梦想。
