A Psalm of Life
人生礼颂
Herry Wadsworth Longfellow
享利·沃兹渥斯·朗费罗
Tell me not in mournful numbers， 请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲；
Life is but an empty dream！ 人生呵，无非是虚梦一场！
For the soul is dead that slumbers 因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般，
And things are not what they seem. 事物的表里并不一样。
Life is real！ Life is earnest！ 人生是实在的！人生是热烈的！
And the grave is not its goal； 人生的目标决不是坟墓；
Dust thou art， to dust returnest， 你是尘土，应归于尘土。
Was not spoken of the soul. 此话指的并不是我们的精神。
Not enjoyment， and not sorrow， 我们的归宿并不是快乐，
Is our destined and our way； 也不是悲伤，
But to act， 实干
That much tomorrow. 才是我们的道路，
Find us farther than today. 每天不断前进，蒸蒸蒸日上。
Art is long， and time is fleeting. 光阴易逝，而艺海无涯，
And our hearts， though stout and brave. 我们的心哪——虽然勇敢坚强，
Still， like muffled drums ， are beating 却像被布蒙住的铜鼓，
Funeral marches to the grave。常把殡葬的哀乐擂响。
In the world，s broad field of battle， 在这人生的宿营地，
In the bivouac of Life， 在这辽阔的世界战场，
Be not like dumb，driven cattle！ 别做无言的牲畜任人驱赶，
Be a hero in the strife！ 做一名英雄汉立马横枪！
Trust no future.howe，er pleasant！ 别相信未来，哪怕未来多么欢乐！
Let the dead Past bury its dead！ 让死去的往昔将死亡一切埋葬！
Act，act in the living Present！ 上帝在上，我们胸怀勇气，
Heart within，and God O，erhead！行动吧——趁现在活着的好时光！
Lives of great men all remind us 伟人的生平使我们想起，
We can make our lives sublime， 我们能使自己的一生变得高尚！
And departing，leave behind us 当我们辞别人间，
Footprints on the sands of time； 能把足迹留在时间的流沙上，
Footprints that perhaps another， 也许有个遭了船灾的苦难弟兄，
Sailing o，er life solemn main， 他曾在庄严的人生大海中飘航，
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother， 见到我们的脚印，
Seeing，shall take heart again， 又会满怀信心。
Let us，then，be up and doing， 让我们起来干吧，
With a heart for any fate； 下定决心，不管遭遇怎样；
Still achieving，still pursuing 不断胜利，不断追求，
Learn to labour and to wait. 要学会苦干和耐心等待。
The Flight of youth
青春的飞逝
Richard Henry Stoddard/
理查德·亨利·斯托达德
There are gains for all our losses.
我们失去的一切都能得到补偿，
There are balms for all our pain；
我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰；
But when youth，the dream，departs
可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝，
It takes something from our hearts，
它带走了我们心中的某种美好，
And it never comes again.
从此一去不复返。
We are stronger， and are better，
我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美，
Under manhood，s sterner reign；
在严峻的成年生活驱使下；
Still we feel that something sweet
可是依然感到甜美的情感，
Following youth， with flying feet，
已随着青春飞逝，
And will never come again.
不再返回。
Something beautiful is vanished，
美好已经消逝，
And we sigh for it in vain；
我们枉自为此叹息；
We behold it everywhere，
尽管在天地之间，
On the earth， and in the air，
我们处处能见青春的魅力，
But it never comes again！
可是它不再返回！
