第一篇：A Grain of Sand
一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉.布萊克
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.
從一粒沙子看到一個世界，
從一朵野花看到一個天堂，
把握在你手心里的就是無限，
永恒也就消融于一個時辰。
第二篇：Love Your Life
熱愛生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard * is not so bad as you * looks poorest when you are * fault-finder will find faults in * your life,poor as it * may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a * setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a * town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of * be they are simply great enough to receive without * think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest * should be more *ate poverty like a garden herb,like * not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to * do not change;we * your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不論你的生活如何卑*，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。
它不像你那樣壞。
你最富有的時候，倒是看似最窮。
愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。
你要愛你的生活，盡管它貧窮。
甚至在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。
夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。
我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪里也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。
城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。
也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。
大多數人以為他們是超然的，不*城鎮來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。
視貧窮如園中之花而像圣人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。
找舊的，回到那里去。
萬物不變，是我們在變。
你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。
第三篇：
The * bright,the beautiful,一切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,
That stirred our hearts in youth,強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,
The impulses to wordless prayer,推動著我們做無言的禱告的,
The dreams of love and truth;讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;
The longing after something's lost,在失去后為之感到珍惜的,
The spirit's yearning cry,使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,
The striving after better hopes-為了更美好的夢想而奮斗著的-
These things can never die.這些美好不會消逝。
The timid hand stretched forth to aid羞怯地伸出援助的手，
A brother in his need,在你的弟兄需要的時候，
A kindly word in grief's dark hour傷慟、困難的時候，一句親切的話
That proves a friend indeed ;就足以證明朋友的真心；
The plea for mercy softly breathed,輕聲地乞求憐憫，
When justice threatens nigh,在審判臨近的時候，
The sorrow of a contrite heart-懊悔的心有一種傷感--
These things shall never die.這些美好不會消逝。
Let nothing pass for every hand在人間傳遞溫情
Must find some work to do ;盡你所能地去做；
Lose not a chance to waken love-別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----
Be firm,and just ,and true;為人要堅定，正直，忠誠；
So shall a light that cannot fade因此上方照耀著你的那道光芒
Beam on thee from on high.就不會消失。
And angel voices say to thee---你將聽到天使的聲音在說-----
These things shall never die.這些美好不會消逝。

第五篇
The life I desired
我所追求的生活
That must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely * reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtlythrough green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silent,so infifferent,that you are troubled suddently by a vague *s it is only by a kink in my nature,strong in me even in those days,that i felt in such an existence,the share of the great majority,something amiss.I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness,but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder * seemed to me something alarming in such easy * my heart was desire to live more dangerously.I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous,shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.
這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。
它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。
也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什么。
我承認這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。
只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘
