布衣之声

大家好，欢迎收听荔枝FM42920布衣之声。我们每个人在不同的人生阶段都会有不同的感触和感概。二十岁的小伙子面对粉嫩的孩童，会说自己老了，三十岁，四十岁，五十岁的人们，大家在夜深人静抑或苦闷彷徨的时候，是否都会从内心深处突然迸发出老了的无语的呐喊呢？今天，就给大家分享两首关于老了的中文和英文短诗，中文短诗老了由中国诗人江一郎所做，布衣本人朗读，英文短诗则是一首爱尔兰著名诗人叶芝的名作：当你老了，由广东海洋大学外籍教师罗伯.普莱特朗诵。

老了——江一郎

老了，牙齿没了

没牙的糟老头和没牙的老婆婆

让我们走吧，到乡下去

在有山有水的乡下，买块好地

种什么都行

什么都种不动了，让它荒着

草愿长多高就多高

花愿开多野就多野

这是我们的地

老了，走不动了

去溪边坐坐吧

流水叮咚，多少美好的人与事

就这样被它带走

要是你有点伤感

我陪着一起伤感

要是你怀念初恋

我们相拥着怀念初恋

用没牙的嘴再一次亲吻

老了，都老了

天上的风吹去流云

像吹去从前的欲望

暮色徐徐降临，亲爱的老婆子

我要挨着你睡了

如果死了，你不要摇着我的尸体

哭到太阳升起

将我埋了吧，埋在

自己的地里，并恳请

土地也将你收去

我们一生热爱土地

死了，就让我们的白骨

赤裸裸地搂着

一万年，还爱着

When You Are Old

(BY William Butler Yeats)

When you are old and grey and full of sleep

And nodding by the fire,take down this book

And slowly read,and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

卿之吾爱 翻译：岭南布衣

每念卿时，

常惑所因，

自心灵深处。

且困于无卿何为，

卿之妖娆笑颜，

卿之哝哝盟语，

卿之蕙质兰心，

无不于我困窘之时，

解吾燃眉。

若然无卿，

莫知何为，

莫知己何。

不堪思之，

今世无如卿者，

爱吾如斯。

惟卿知吾纳吾，

常惠吾心。

卿之所爱，

经年恒久，

延续绵绵。

吾之有卿，

感恩今生！

Why I Love You

Every time I think about you,

I'm reminded of the reasons why I love you

From the deep of my heart and soul.

And I wonder what I'd do without you,

Without your healing smile,

Your words of faith,

The caring and sensitive way you touch me,

Lifting me just when I need it most.

Without you,

What would I have?

What would I be?

I can't imagine existing in a world

Where someone doesn't love me the way you do.

You're the only one

Who’s ever understood me and accepted me for who I am.

And I think you're nothing short of amazing.

Your love has always been and will always be

Life’s greatest gift to me!

雪

文：淡心若水 朗诵：秋风掠过

生就不太喜欢雨，甚至有些讨厌她的不管不顾的倾盆，她的那种固有的湿漉漉的气息，和着呼吸仿佛都有一种沉潮的味道，纵有千百回转却又欲说不能的无奈。骨子里倒是偏爱落雪，总是讶异她怎会出落得这般静雅脱俗，带着那种低调从容的素贞，甚至有些跋扈的清凉，就像那朵朵的莲花，有着清澈的明媚，也有着些许的妩媚，有着最动荡的平静，也有着不动声色的潋滟，就这样婀婀娜娜，悄悄的就枝枝蔓蔓了，让你一见就惊了心，就倾了情，怎么可以这样美？就这样美。

喜欢雪花，当然的喜欢，命中注定的喜欢，喜欢她那大朵大朵挥霍的热烈，在季凉的瑟瑟寒风里，飞舞成自己的姿势，只是她生在冬季，有些让人觉得寒凉，欲近不能。是不是所有凉到极致的事物都是绝美而使人欲往的？越疏离，越亲近，愈抵御，愈不甘？可就这落雪来说真的是，她的孤色的寡情，明艳的冷丽，似乎只有这落雪才可以散发出这绝色的寂寞来，却有着一种让人不能抵挡的诱惑，冷，也喜欢着， 绝，才更爱着。

大家好，欢迎收听荔枝FM42920布衣之声。今天要给大家分享一篇英语短文，时间银行，希望大家珍惜每一天，充实和快乐地生活。

----------------------------------

每个人都有一个银行，它的名字叫"时间"。每天早晨，它在你的帐户里存入86,400秒钟。不管你是否很好地利用了这笔时间，每天晚上它会照例把这笔时间作为遗失注销。它没有设置余额，也不允许透支。

每天它会为你开一个新帐户，每晚它会把该天的记录全部删除。如果你没有好好地利用当天的这笔时间，那么损失由你自己承担。

没有回头路，也不能向"明天"借时间。你必须以今天的时间"存款"为基础生活在现在。有效地投资这笔时间以便从中获取有关健康，快乐及成功最大的收益。时钟正在旋转。好好地利用今天："抓住每一天!"

你看，时间挺重要的吧，一定要好好利用它。毕竟，生活要么是大胆的尝试，要么就什么都没有。

-------------------

Time Is a Bank

Everyone has a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.

Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.

There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today: "Seize the day!"

So, you see, time is important, make the most of it. After all, life is either a daring adventure or nothing!

爱尔兰是信奉天主教的国家，禁止离婚。所以，两人结婚时必须选择婚姻关系的期限——1年至100年。这种婚姻法的高明之处在于，婚姻的期限恰好与结婚的费用成反比。如果你选择了1年期限，将支付高达2000英镑的费用并获得如辞典般厚厚的权利义务说明；如果你选择了100年，那么恭喜你，你只需要支付工本费0.5英镑，和短短的却让所有女人感动的一段话：“我不知道我的左手对右手、右腿对左腿、左眼对右眼、右脑对左脑究竟应该享有怎样的权利，究竟应该承担怎样的义务。其实它们本就是一个整体，因彼此的存在而存在，因彼此的快乐而快乐。最后，让这张粉红色的小纸带去我对你们百年婚姻的美好祝愿！祝你们幸福！”

希望世间男女，都能像爱尔兰人一样去结婚，好好地谨慎地相爱，并选择百年的期限来用心地守护身边的那个人。

When I was having a chit-chat with my colleague, she asked me all of a sudden, “How did your husband propose to you at that time? Was it romantic?” I was numbed by her words for a while, and then burst into laughter, “My husband is a bit rigid, so do you think his proposal would be romantic?” Though I said in that way, I felt very sweet in heart when thinking of my husband’s proposing to me. To be honest, his proposal was actually by no means romantic without flowers, diamond ring and any other surprise. It was even could not be called “marriage proposal”。

At that time, he gave me a book about Ireland, which, now I am thinking was a long-established plan. At the weekend when I finished the book, he came to me and asked me whether I had finished the book. Seeing me nod my head, he felt very pleased and said to me in a low but happy voice, “If you like, we can get married in an Irish way!”

At that time, my heart was totally convinced by the romantic and sacred law of marriage in Ireland. The book told me that Ireland believes in Catholicism and prohibited divorce. Therefore, when a couple get married, they are supposed to choose the time of their marriage which ranges from 1 year to 100 years. The most impressive of this law of marriage lies in the inverse relationship between the time of marriage and the fees to be charged. If you choose 1 year for your marriage, you shall pay as much as 2, 000 sterling pounds plus receiving a dictionary-thick reference of rights and responsibilities. But if you choose 100 years, then you are very lucky and only need to pay 0.5 pound for the fees and receive a short but heart-touching note in all women’s eyes: “I have no idea the clear rights and responsibilities for my left hand to my right hand, my right leg to my left leg, my left eye to my right eye and my right sphere of brain to the left. Actually, they are an integrated whole and live by each other and cheer for each other. Finally, I would like this pink note to convey my best wishes to your one-hundred-year marriage! May you live happily all your lives!”

I still remember at that time that I said to my husband, “Ok, so sir, please choose the time you expect our marriage to last!” He said happily, “I even do not bother to think about it and would definitely choose 100 years because it is highly money-saving!”

Later, I married him, a man who would like to stay with me for 100 years. Although we are not bound by the law of marriage in Ireland, we have cherished our vow to discipline ourselves all the time. We have married like Irish people and look on our marriage as a life-long commitment and spare no effort to nourish it hand in hand as we are gradually aging together。

Hang In There

Dufficulties arise in the lives of us all.

What is most important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining just for you.

It takes a strong person to deal with tough times and difficult choices. But you are a strong person.

It takes courage.But you possess the inner courage to see you through.

It takes being an active participant in your life. But you are in the driver's seat, and you can determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in.

Hang in there... and take care to see that you don't lose sight of the one thing that is constant, beautiful,and true:

Everything will be fine---and it will turn out that way because of the special kind of person you are.

So...beginning today and lasting a lifetime through---Hang in there, and don't be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining...just for you.

永不低头

生活中困难在所难免，

最重要的是要挺过艰难的时刻，积极应对种种变故，冲破黎明前的黑暗，你终会看到只属于自己的灿烂阳光。

只有强者才能勇敢直面困难时刻，做出艰难抉择。而你正是这样一位强者。

要有勇气。你拥有披荆斩棘的勇气。

你必须在这场游戏人生中积极主动。

而且你正在驾驭这场游戏，并决定着自己明天前进的方向。

坚持再坚持，别让你的视野迷失了那不变的美好真理：

一切都会好转的－－－－－－因为你是如此的与众不同。

因此，从今天开始，到生命的终点－－－－－坚持住，不必怀疑，朝阳为你而升起。
