A Morning Wish

在清晨许个愿

The sun has just risen in the morning of another day.What can I wish this day may bring me?

太阳刚刚升起,又是一个新的早晨。我希望新的一天带给我些什么呢?

Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer,nothing at the expense of other men, but just thosefew things which in their coming do not stop me buttouch me rather, as they pass and gather strength.

我希望世界上所有人都更加富有,希望我们获得的一切都不会损害他人的利益,我希望有些东西到来时不会阻碍我前进,希望它们从我身边经过时只会带给我感动,能让我从中汲取力量。

I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me, and yet remain myfriends; I also wish that this day could bring me a job to do which has real value.

我希望在新的一天里能结交一些灵犀相通的新朋友,同时也继续拥有老朋友;我还希望自己在新的一天里能做一份真正有意义的工作。

I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be notblazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.

我希望自己在新的一天里能勇敢地去旅行,即使旅途没有那么闪耀的风景。我希望自己在新的一天里能更具同情心。

I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills, and the blue sea stretching tothe horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made.

我希望在新的一天能见到连绵的群山和一望无际的碧蓝大海,能见到人类用双手创造的美好事物。

I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisurewith nothing to do.

我希望自己在新的一天更具幽默感,希望自己能开心地笑,希望能有一点闲暇,什么都不用做。

And I crave for a few moments of quiet, silent meditation in the morning of this day.

就在这个清晨,我渴望得到片刻的宁静,能静静地冥思。
