LESSON 6 LEND A HAND 伸出一只手

1.Lend a hand to one another

In the daily toil of life;

When we meet a weaker brother,

Let us help him in the strife.

There is none so rich but may,

In his turn, be forced to borrow;

And the poor man’s lot today,

May become our own tomorrow.

2.Lend a hand to one another:

When malicious tongues have thrown

Dark suspicion on your brother,

Be not prompt to cast a stone.

There is none so good but may

Run adrift in shame and sorrow,

And the good man of today,

May become the bad tomorrow.

3.Lend a hand to one another:

In the race for Honor’s crown;

Should it fall upon your brother.

Let not envy tear it down.

Lend a hand to all, we pray,

In their sunshine or their sorrow;

And the prize they’ve won today,

May become our own tomorrow.

1.在艰难的日子里，

请伸手相互帮助；

当遇到可怜的人，

我们要帮他一把。

不图回报，

不是被迫救助；

他今天的遭遇，

明天也许会成为我们的命运。

2.请伸手相互帮助：

当恶意的言语，

如脏水泼向他人，

不要雪上加霜。

否则不但无益，

还会带来耻辱和悲伤；

今天的好人，

明天就可能变成坏人。

3.请伸手相互帮助：

当荣耀的光环，

落在他人的头上，

不要嫉妒地将它撕下。

我们祈祷，大家伸手相互帮助，

无论是欢乐还是悲伤；

今天他们获得的奖励，

明天就可能成为我们的荣耀。
