Life IS What You Make It
Johnny Mercer
Life is what you make it,
If you can make it,
It’s worth a try.
Smile.the world is sunny,
Your Easter bunny.
Where even sad tums funny.
Fame may run to catch you
or look right at you and pass you by.
Somewhere out there
Love waits to see you through.
Life is what you make it,
And what you make it is up to you.
生活星你自己创造
[美]琼尼·默瑟 张 宁
生活是你自己创造,
假如你会创造,
努力,让它美好。
微笑吧,世界光华四照,
只要你踏上阳关道,
悲伤也会变成欢笑。
声名也许跑来找你,
也许只看一眼,转身走掉。
爱情会把你等候,
看顾你一直到老。
你是生活的主人,
生活是你自己创造。
译注:Easter bunny字面意思为“复活节的兔子”,是新的生命和兴旺发达的象征。
Dreams
Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-Winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For where dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
梦
[美]兰斯顿·休斯
张 宁
把梦抓牢,
梦一旦死亡,
生活就像断翅的鸟,
不能飞翔。
把梦抓牢,
梦一旦离开,
生活就像不毛之地,
冰封雪盖。
