介绍一首好诗

在网络看到一首由一位身患绝症的15岁美国女孩在死亡夺去她鲜活生命之前写下的一首诗。心有戚戚，感叹生命的脆弱，无论如何，趁我们还活着，不应该珍惜每一天吗？我把诗歌翻译如下：

             慢舞

您曾经看着孩子们
坐在旋转木马上吗？
或者凝听那雨声
滴落在地上？
曾经追寻过一只蝴蝶
翩翩飞舞的踪影？
或者凝视一轮落日
缓缓落入夜幕中
您最好慢一慢
不要跳得太快
时间苦短
音乐不会持续太久

您是否在匆忙中
渡过每一天
当您问候“您好吗”
您有没有听他的回答
当一天完了的时候
您是否躺在床上
但您的脑海中
还装着一百件没完成
的琐事？
您最好慢一慢
不要跳得太快
时间苦短
音乐不会持续太久

曾经告诉过您的孩子
明天我们才做这件事
在匆忙之中
您忽略了他眼中
闪过的失望？
曾经久未联络
而失去好朋友的音讯？
让一段友谊死亡
因为您从来没时间
打一个电话问一声好
您最好慢一慢
不要跳得太快
时间苦短
音乐不会持续太久

当您匆匆忙忙赶到某地
您已经错矢了到达终点
过程中一半的乐趣
当您在匆忙和忧虑中
渡过一天
就象一个没有打开过
的礼物
被仍掉了

生命不是一场竟赛
请您慢下节奏
欣赏音乐
在它消矢之前

附英文原作如下：

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's
erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into
the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do you run through each day
on the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
with the next hndred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Ever told your child
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste
Not see his sorrow
Ever lost touch
Let a good friendship
die
Cause you never had time
To call and say"Hi"
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

When you run so fast to
get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there
When you worry and hurry
through your day
It is like an unopened gift
Thrown away
Life is not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over
