Tina Grace 我要唱那天主的荣耀

小记：几年前，我去参加一个避静会，读到这个小诗文，感触颇深。作者是一位85岁高龄的老妇人，我们大多不及她年龄的一半，也有了不少的人生经历。当时，同行的一位中年朋友刚刚失去了她的先生，她说：“要是他早早看到这份忠告有多好！”我们许多人，一直在拼命，奉献，力争上游。。。从今天开始，就让我们善待自己和家人朋友：放松，快乐，活在当下！允许自己更随意，允许自己更俏皮，允许把自己的需求放首位。。。亲，假如你的生命可以重新来过，你愿意做什么改变吗？

If I had my life to live over
I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.
I'd relax, I would limber up.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances.

I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would perhaps have more actual troubles,
but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I'm one of those people who live
sensibly and sanely hour after hour,
day after day.

Oh, I've had my moments,
And if I had it to do over again,
I'd have more of them.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing else.
Just moments, one after another,
instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

I've been one of those people who never goes anywhere
without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat
and a parachute.
If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over,
I would start barefoot earlier in the spring
and stay that way later in the fall.
I would go to more dances.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
I would pick more daisies.


 
假如我可以将生命重新来过
翻译：京燕儿

假如我可以将生命重新来过，
我会鼓足勇气，不惧犯错。
我会休养放松，柔和灵活。
我会让自己过得比这一程更加傻呼呼～
我会少把一些事情严肃对待，
我会胆敢冒更多的险。

我愿攀登更多的山峦，
畅游更多的江河。
我愿多享受冰激凌，
少吃豆子。
或许。。。我会碰到更多现实中的麻烦，
而更少臆想中的遭遇。

你瞧：
我一生小心谨慎，长于理智。
守时守刻，苟且度日。

哦，我也有任意的时候～
假如我可以重新来过，
我愿有更多这样的时光！
甚而，我会试图抛弃一切;
让时间定格，在最美的时刻,
悠悠然然。。。
而非争分夺秒，紧赶慢赶，
每日抢着活在岁月前面。

我是这样的家伙：平日足不出户，
除非携带上温度计，热水瓶，
雨衣，降落伞。。。
假如我可以重新来过，
我会选择轻装上阵。

假如。。。我可以将生命重新来过，
我会在春天里早早赤足，
优哉游哉，直至深秋。
我会去跳更多的舞；
骑更多的旋转木马；
采摘更多的雏菊花。 
 

   ～周末愉快～
