清晨最美好的愿望 A Morning Wish
佚名/Anonymous
The sun is just rising in the morning of another day. What can I wish that this day may bring me? Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength.
I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me, and yet remain my friends; I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.
I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.
I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills, and the blue sea stretching to the horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of me have made.
I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisure with nothing to do.
And I crave for a few moments of quiet, silent meditation in the morning of this day.
朝阳在新的一天冉冉升起。我期望这—天带给我什么呢？希望不是任何让世界或他人更贫穷的东西，不是任何损害别人的东西，而是那些到来、经过或者聚集力量时，不会阻止我而能触动我的心灵的东西。
我盼望这一天会带来一些知心的朋友，希望我们的友谊天长地久；我也希望这一天能够给我带来一份真正有价值的工作。
我盼望这一天会带给我无畏远行的胸怀，纵然旅途中没有光明在闪耀；我还盼望这一天会带给我善解人意之心。
我盼望这一天会让我看到永久屹立的山冈，看到一望无际的蓝色海洋，看到人类的双手创造出的美丽事物。
我盼望这—天会带给我幽默感、笑的力量和无事可做的短暂悠闲。
这天早上，我渴望短暂宁静的冥想。
每一天都是新的，每一天都充满着希望。让希望化做动力，实现我们心中最美好的梦想。
