A Perfect Day
When you come to the end of a perfect day,
And you sit alone with your thought,
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay
For the joy that the day had brough,
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to a tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,
And the dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of a journey too;
But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For memory has painted this perfect day,
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
The soul of a friend we've made.
美好的日子
當美好的日子即將流過，
你沉思著獨自靜坐；
當鐘聲隨著快樂的頌歌響起，
為了這美好的日子帶來的快樂；
當太陽帶著紅霞西沉，
親愛的朋友你又得奔波，
你可曾想到對于一顆疲憊的心，
這美好日子的結束會意味著什么？
啊，這是一個美好日子的終點，
也是一次旅行的終結；
但它留下了強烈的思念，
還有那親切而真誠的祝愿。
這美好日子的回憶，
永不消褪，永遠鮮艷。
我們在這美好日子的終點，
看到了朋友的神圣的心田。
* Flight of Youth 青春的飛逝
There are gains for all our losses. 我們失去的一切都能得到補償，
There are balms for all our pain; 我們所有的痛苦都能得到安慰；
But when youth,the dream,departs 可是夢境似的青春一旦消逝，
It takes something from our hearts, 它帶走了我們心中的某種美好，
And it never comes again. 從此一去不復返。
We are stronger, and are better, 我們變得日益剛強、更臻完美，
Under manhood’s sterner reign; 在嚴峻的成年生活驅使下；
Still we feel that something sweet 可是依然感到甜美的情感，
Following youth, with flying feet, 已隨著青春飛逝，
And will never come again. 不再返回。
Something beautiful is vanished, 美好已經消逝，
And we sigh for it in vain; 我們枉自為此嘆息；
We behold it everywhere, 盡管在天地之間，
On the earth, and in the air, 我們處處能見青春的魅力，
But it never comes again! 可是它不再返回！
.[英語散文]-火與冰
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire，
I hold with those who favor [1] fire.
But if it had to perish [2] twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
and would suffice
火與冰
有人說世界將結束于熊熊烈焰，
有人則說結束于凜凜寒冰。
欲望如火，體會其烈，
則知世之歸于火為我所愿。
但若其必兩度遭逢毀滅，
我知恨之極至，
必然明了，毀滅之冰，
同樣魁偉，
同樣順人心意。
