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
当美好的日子即将流过，
你沉思着独自静坐；
当钟声随着快乐的颂歌响起，
为了这美好的日子带来的快乐；
当太阳带着红霞西沉，
亲爱的朋友你又得奔波，
你可曾想到对于一颗疲惫的心，
这美好日子的结束会意味着什么？
啊，这是一个美好日子的终点，
也是一次旅行的终结；
但它留下了强烈的思念，
还有那亲切而真诚的祝愿。
这美好日子的回忆，
永不消褪，永远鲜艳。
我们在这美好日子的终点，
看到了朋友的神圣的心田。
2.The Flight of Youth 青春的飞逝
There are gains for all our losses. 我们失去的一切都能得到补偿，
There are balms for all our pain; 我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰；
But when youth,the dream,departs 可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝，
It takes something from our hearts, 它带走了我们心中的某种美好，
And it never comes again. 从此一去不复返。
We are stronger, and are better, 我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美，
Under manhood’s sterner reign; 在严峻的成年生活驱使下；
Still we feel that something sweet 可是依然感到甜美的情感，
Following youth, with flying feet, 已随着青春飞逝，
And will never come again. 不再返回。
Something beautiful is vanished, 美好已经消逝，
And we sigh for it in vain; 我们枉自为此叹息；
We behold it everywhere, 尽管在天地之间，
On the earth, and in the air, 我们处处能见青春的魅力，
But it never comes again! 可是它不再返回！
.[英语散文]-火与冰
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
火与冰
有人说世界将结束于熊熊烈焰，
有人则说结束于凛凛寒冰。
欲望如火，体会其烈，
则知世之归于火为我所愿。
但若其必两度遭逢毁灭，
我知恨之极至，
必然明了，毁灭之冰，
同样魁伟，
同样顺人心意。
