精美英文欣赏:人生礼颂

（单词翻译）

A Psalm¹ of Life by Herry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tell me not in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers²

And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou art , to dust returnest,

Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment³ , and not sorrow,

Is our destined⁴ and our way;

But to act,

That much to-morrow.

Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long , and time is fleeting⁵.

And our hearts , though stout⁶ and brave.

Still , like muffled⁷ drums , are beating

Funeral marches to the grave。

In the world’s broad field of battle,

In the bivouac of Life,

Be not like dumb,driven cattle!

Be a hero in the strife⁸!

Trust no future.howe’er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act,act in the living Present!

Let us,then,be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving,still pursuing

Learn to labour and to wait.

人生礼赞-享利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗

请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲；

人生呵，无非是虚梦一场！

因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般，

事物的表里并不一样。

人生是实在的！人生是热烈的！

人生的目标决不是坟墓；

你是尘土，应归于尘土。

此话指的并不是我们的精神。

我们的归宿并不是快乐，

也不是悲伤，

实干才是我们的道路，

每天不断前进，蒸蒸蒸日上。

光阴易逝，而艺海无涯，

我们的心哪——虽然勇敢坚强，

却像被布蒙住的铜鼓，

常把殡葬的哀乐擂响。

在这人生的宿营地，

在这辽阔的世界战场，

别做无言的牲畜任人驱赶，

做一名英雄汉立马横枪！

别相信未来，哪怕未来多么欢乐！

让死去的往昔将死亡一切埋葬！

上帝在上，我们胸怀勇气，

让我们起来干吧，

下定决心，不管遭遇怎样；

不断胜利，不断追求，

要学会苦干和耐心等待。
