1、Robert H. Schuller?
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure,It does mean you haven’t succeeded yet. Failure doesn’t mean you have accomplished nothing,It does mean you have learned something. Failure doesn’t mean you have been a fool,It does mean you had a lot of faith. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been disgraced,It does mean you were willing to try. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it,It does mean you have to do something in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you are inferior,It does mean you are not perfect. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve wasted your life,It does mean you have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up,It does mean you must try harder. Failure doesn’t mean you’ll never make it,It does mean it will take a little longer. Failure doesn’t mean God has abandoned you,It does mean God has a better idea.?

失败并不代表你是个失败者,它只表明你尚未成功。失败并不代表你一无所获,它只表明你吸取了一次教训。失败并不代表你很愚蠢,它只表明你信心百倍。失败并不代表你无脸见人,它只表明你百折不回。失败并不代表你工夫白费,它只表明你的做事方法尚待改进。失败并不代表你低人一等。它只表明你并非完人。失败并不代表你浪费生命,它只表明你有理由重新开始。失败并不代表你应该放弃,它只表明你要加倍努力。失败并不代表成功永不属于你,它只表明你要付出更多的时间。失败并不代表上帝已经抛弃你,它只表明上帝还有更好的主意。
2、never forget
our presence is a gift to the world.
you're unique and one of a kind.
your life can be what you want it to be
take it one day at a time.
focus on your blessings, not your troubles.
and you'll make it through what comes along.
have belief in your ability.
persist, have courage, be strong.
nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
the longer a problem is carried,
the heavier it gets.
don't take things too seriously.
live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
don't put limits on yourself.
your dreams are waiting to be realized.?
don't waste time making excuses.?
reach for your peak, your goal!
中文对照:
你的存在是献给世界地一份厚礼。
你是唯一的,是独一无二的。
你想要的生活能成为现实。
日子要一天天的过。
多关注好事,而不是烦恼。
不论有什么困难,你都能克服。
相信你的能力。
要有毅力、有勇气,要身心坚强。
焦虑最浪费精力。
就变得越沉重。
不要事事都太计较。
过平静的生活,不要活在悔恨之中。
不要自我设限。
你的梦想等着你去实现。
不要浪费时间找种种借口。
攀登你的颠峰,追求你的目标。
3、the panther?
his vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold
anything else. it seems to him there are
a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world.
中文对照:
隔着不时掠过的铁栏,他的目光
已变得如此疲倦,再无法
承受哪怕一眼。似乎面前
有千条栏杆;而栏杆之后别无他物。
4、as he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.
中文对照:
他强韧的脚步灵巧地回旋,
在狭小的空间踱步不止,
仿佛某种祭祀之舞围绕着一个中心,
在中心一个伟大的意志眩晕。
5、only at times, the curtain of the pupils
lifts, quietly—. an image enters in,
rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
plunges into the heart and is gone.
中文对照:
只有时眼帘无声地撩起——
一幅图像从瞳孔浸入,
穿过神僵立的躯体
投入心灵,又最终化为乌有。
