英文欣赏:清晨许愿

The sun is just rising in the morning of another day. What can I wish that this day may bring me? Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength.

朝阳又在新的一天中冉冉升起。我期许这一天带给我什么呢?我希望带给我的不是令世界或他人更贫穷的东西,不是损害别人的东西,而是那些微小的、能触动我的东西,它们经过时,或者不断聚集力量之时不会妨碍我。

I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me, and yet remain my friends; I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.

我希望这一天能够带给我一些惺惺相惜的朋友,希望我们友谊长存;我也希望这一天能够给我带来一份真正有价值的工作。

I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.

我希望这一天能够带给我无畏远行的胸怀,即使旅途没有光亮的照耀;我还希望这一天能够带给我善解人意的心。

I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills, and the blue sea stretching to the horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made.

我希望这一天能够让我看到永恒的山冈,看到辽阔无边的蓝色海洋,看到人类的双手造就的美丽事物。

I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisure with nothing to do.

我希望这一天能够带给我幽默感,笑的力量和无事可做的片刻悠闲。
