幸福是什么?
簡(jiǎn)單就是幸福。家里準(zhǔn)備一頓豐盛的晚餐,和家人聊聊天。或者什么都不想,放下工作的繁忙,到大自然看樹(shù)木,聽(tīng)鳥(niǎo)叫。沏一杯清茶,或一杯自制的熱飲。聽(tīng)一首優(yōu)美的音樂(lè),唱一首喜歡的歌曲。
Life and Song
生活和歌唱
If life were caught by a clarionet, 如果生活與樂(lè)管同奏,
And a wild heart, throbbing in the reed, 狂熱的心和簧片共振;
Should thrill its joy and trill its fret,生活中的歡樂(lè)與煩惱,
And utter its heart in every deed, 全然是心靈的顫動(dòng)。
Then would this breathing clarionet 當(dāng)呼吸與簧管同步,
Type what the poet fain would be; 詩(shī)人將欣然命筆;
For none o’ the singers ever yet 盡管沒(méi)有一個(gè)歌手,
Has wholly lived his minstrelsy, 用他畢生吟唱。
Or clearly sung his true, true thought, 或純粹唱他真實(shí)的思考,
Or utterly bodied forth his life, 或完全唱他生命之形體,
Or out of life and song has wrought 或唱生命的消逝,
The perfect one of man and wife; 或唱一個(gè)男人和妻子完美的功績(jī)
Or lived and sung, that Life and Song 生活和歌唱,生命與歌,
Might each express the other’s all,一切都可以彼此表達(dá),
Careless if life or art were long 要是生命或藝術(shù)被長(zhǎng)期忽視,
Since both were one, to stand or fall: 那么好壞都一樣:
So that the wonder struck the crowd, 所以群眾創(chuàng)造奇跡,
Who shouted it about the land: 他們喚醒了土地:
His song was only living aloud, 他的歌僅僅是高亢一曲的生活,
His work, a singing with his hand! 他的勞作就是他用手唱出的歌!
