To all my friends and loved ones, love from me, useful perspective. 
把我的爱，送给我所有的朋友和我所爱的人们——一些有用的视角和观点。
If the world were a village of 100 people, if we could shrink the earth population to a village of precisely 100 people with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it will look something like the following:
如果这个世界只是一个只有100人的小村庄，如果我们能够保持所有的人口比例不变，把这个世界压缩成为一个只有100人的小村庄，那么世界将会是如下的样子：
52 would be female, 48 would be male
将会有52个是女性，48个是男性
70 would be non-white, 30 would be white
将会有70个是非白种人，30个是白种人
70 would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christian
将会有70个是非基督徒，30个是基督徒
89 would be heterosexual, 11 would be homosexual
将会有89个是异性恋者，11个是同性恋者
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth
And all 6 people would be from the United States
6个人将会拥有全世界所有财富的59%，而这6个人都来自美国
80 would live in sub-standard housing
将会有80个人住在低于标准的屋子内
70 would be unable to read
将会有70个人是文盲
50 will suffer from malnutrition
将会有50个人遭受着营养不良的折磨
1 would be near death, 1 would be near birth
将会有1个人即将死亡，1个人即将出生
1, yes, only 1, would have a college education
将会有1个，是的，仅仅一个人获得高等教育
1 would own a computer
将会有1个人拥有电脑

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective
当一个人从如此复杂的视角思考审视这个世界时
The need for acceptance, understanding, and education becomes glaringly apparent
对别人的认可、理解，以及对教育的渴求将会显得尤为明显
The following is also something to ponder:
如下的文字也将值得深思：
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture，or the pains of starvation
如果你从未经受过战争的危机， 牢狱的孤单和受人折磨的苦楚，或者是饥饿的痛苦
You are ahead 500 million people in the world
那么你就已经超过世界上5亿人了
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over head, and a place to sleep
如果你的冰箱里还有食物，身上还有衣服，头顶上还有房屋遮蔽
You are richer than 75% of this world
那么你就比这个世界上75%的人富有了
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace
如果你银行中有存款，钱包中也有钱，还能到一些地方消费点单
You are among the top 8% of the world's wealth
你便跻身在世界上最富有的8％人口当中了。
If your parents are still alive and still married
如果你的父母依然健在，而且还在一起生活
You are very rare, even in the United States or Canada
那么即使是在美国与加拿大，这也是非常难得的事。
Someone once said
有人曾经说：
What goes around comes around
“有失必有得”
So,
所以……
Work like you don't need the money
去工作时，犹如你不执迷于金钱。
Love like you've never been hurt
去爱他人，犹如你从未受到伤害。
Dance like nobody's watching
去舞蹈吧，犹如无人在一旁观看。
Sing like nobody's listening
去歌唱吧，犹如无人在一边谛听。
Live like it's Heaven on Earth
好好生活，犹如这里是人间乐土。

I believe, for every drop of rain

that falls, A flower grows...

I believe that somewhere in the

darkest night, A candle glows...

我相信，每个雨滴飘落

就有一朵花儿生长……

我相信，即使最漆黑的夜晚

也会有蜡烛发出明亮的光

I believe for everyone who

goes astray, Someone will come,

to show the way, I believe, I believe...

我相信，每个迷途的人

都会有人给他指路

我相信，我相信……

I believe, above the storm the

smallest prayer, Will still be heard...

I believe, that someone in that

great somewhere, Hears every word...

我相信，即使暴风雨在狂怒咆哮

最微弱的祈祷也会被听到……

我相信，有人在某个伟大的地方

听到了每一个字……

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,

Or touch a leaf,

or see the sky,

Then I know why, I believe!

每当听到新生儿的哭声

或触摸一片叶子

或凝望天空

我就知道为何会这样，我相信！

Hecomes with Western winds, with evening's wandering airs,

他来了 伴着西风 伴着傍晚的流风

With that clear dusk of heaven that brings the thickest stars.

伴着带来繁星的清朗暮色

Windstake a pensive tone, and stars a tender fire,

晚风忧戚 星如萤火

Andvisions rise, and change, that kill me with desire.

幽思遐想 欲望折磨着我

Highwaving heather beneath stormy blasts bending.

石楠花海在它的吹拂下似波涛翻涌

Midnightand moonlight and bright shining stars;

子夜 月光 伴着闪闪繁星

Darknessand glory rejoicingly blending,

黑暗与荣耀欣然相汇

Earthrising to heaven and heaven descending,

大地升空 天庭陨落

Man'sspirit away from its drear dungeon sending,

将人的灵性从阴郁的地牢解放

Burstingthe fetters and breaking the bars.

冲破枷锁 逃出桎梏

Thendawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals;

隐形的开始显现 藏匿的终被揭露

Myoutward sense is gone, my inward essence feels;

我的感官尽失 唯靠内心感受

Itswings are almost free - its home, its harbour found,

快要挣脱束缚的双翼 寻到家园港湾

Measuringthe gulf, it stoops and dares the final bound.

丈量海湾 俯身最后一搏

Odreadful is the check - intense the agony -

Whenthe ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see;

Whenthe pulse begins to throb - the brain to think again -

Thesoul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain.

YetI would lose no sting, would wish no torture less;

但我将再无痛楚 无惧任何折磨

Themore that anguish racks the earlier it will bless;

这苦痛越是折磨 我就越早拥抱福泽

Androbed in fires of hell, or bright with heavenly shine,

即使地狱炼火为袍 亦闪烁着天国光辉

Ifit but herald Death, the vision is divine.

如果必须迎接死亡 那未来亦是神圣

拜伦经典诗歌《When we two parted》（恨别）

This poem talks abouta love affair that Lord Byron had with a married woman some years before he gotmarried. They loved each other very much, but they knew their love would haveto finish, and finally she put an end to their relationship. Sometimes itsounds as if she just broke up, and sometimes it sounds as if she died. It’s avery good example of the literary genre called "Romanticism", whichflourished in Europe in the 19th century.
这首诗讲述的是拜伦没有结婚之前和一个已婚女人的不伦恋。他们深爱对方，但是彼此都知道，这段感情必须结束，最后以她的离开为这段感情画下了终结。有时听上去，好像她刚分手，而有时又像是她离世了。这是一首很典型的浪漫主义文学诗歌，在19世纪的欧洲风靡一时。

When we two parted
昔日依依别，

In silence and tears,
泪流默无言；

Half broken-hearted
离恨肝肠断，

To sever for years,
此别又几年。

Pale grew thy cheekand cold,
冷颊何惨然，

Colder, thy kiss;
一吻寒更添；

Truly that hourforetold
日后伤心事，

Sorrow to this.
此刻已预言。

The dew of the morning
朝起寒露重，

Sunk; chill on mybrow,
凛冽凝眉间－－

It felt like a warning
彼时已预告：

Of what I feel now.
悲伤在今天。

Thy vows are allbroken,
山盟今安在？

And light is thy fame;
汝名何轻贱！

I hear thy namespoken,
吾闻汝名传，

And share in itsshame.
羞愧在人前。

They name thee beforeme,
闻汝名声恶，

A knell to mine ear;
犹如听丧钟。

A shudder comes o'erme...
不禁心怵惕－－

Why wert thou so dear?
往昔情太浓。

They knew not I knewthee,
谁知旧日情，

Who knew thee toowell...
斯人知太深。

Long, long shall I ruethee,
绵绵长怀恨，

Too deeply to tell.
尽在不言中，

In secret we met
昔日喜幽会，

In silence I grieve
今朝恨无声。

That thy heart couldforget,
旧情汝已忘，

Thy spirit deceive.
疾心遇薄幸。

If I should meet thee
多年离别后，

After long years,
抑或再相逢，

How should I greetthee?
相逢何所语？

(with silence andtears)
泪流默无声。

Had I not seen the Sun

------- by Emily Dickinson

Had I not seen the sun

I could have borne the shade

But Light a newer Wilderness

My Wilderness has made

（江枫/译）

我本可以忍受黑暗

如果我不曾见过太阳

然而阳光已使我的荒凉

成为更新的荒凉

《When you are old》——《当你老了》

--- William Butler Yeats ——威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

When you are old and grey and full ofsleep,

当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉，

And nodding by the fire，take down this book,

倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来，

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神

Your eyes had once, and of their shadowsdeep;

你那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影，

And loved your beauty with love false ortrue,

爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或真情，

But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you

惟独一人曾爱你那朝圣者的心，

And loved the sorrows of your changingface;

爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

在炉罩边低眉弯腰，

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

忧戚沉思，喃喃而语，

And paced upon the mountains overhead

爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山，

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸。

When you are old and grey and full of sleep, 

当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉， 

And nodding by the fire，take down this book, 

 倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来， 

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look, 

慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神 

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;  

你那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。 

How many loved your moments of glad grace, 

 多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影， 

And loved your beauty with love false or true, 

 爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或真情， 

But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you, 

惟独一人曾爱你那朝圣者的心，

 And loved the sorrows of your changing face; 

 爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。 

And bending down beside the glowing bars, 

 在炉罩边低眉弯腰， 

 Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled,  

忧戚沉思，喃喃而语， 

 And paced upon the mountains overhead, 

爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山，

 And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. 

 怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸。

I am afraid

莎士比亚（网传）

You say that youlove rain,
but you open your umbrella when it rains...
You say that you love the sun,
but you find a shadow spot when the sunshines...
You say that you love the wind,
But you close your windows when wind blows...
This is why I am afraid;
You say that you love me too...

普通版

你说你喜欢雨，
但是下雨的时候你却撑开了伞；
你说你喜欢阳光，
但当阳光播撒的时候，
你却躲在阴凉之地；
你说你喜欢风，
但清风扑面的时候，
你却关上了窗户。
我害怕你对我也是如此之爱。

女汉子版
你有本事爱雨天，
你有本事别打伞啊；
你有本事爱阳光，
你有本事别乘凉啊；
你有本事爱吹风，
你有本事别关窗啊；
你有本事说爱我，
你有本事捡肥皂啊！

文艺版
你说烟雨微芒，兰亭远望;
后来轻揽婆娑，深遮霓裳。
你说春光烂漫，绿袖红香;
后来内掩西楼，静立卿旁。
你说软风轻拂，醉卧思量;
后来紧掩门窗，漫帐成殇。
你说情丝柔肠，如何相忘;
我却眼波微转，兀自成霜。


诗经版
子言慕雨，启伞避之。
子言好阳，寻荫拒之。
子言喜风，阖户离之。
子言偕老，吾所畏之。


离骚版
君乐雨兮启伞枝，
君乐昼兮林蔽日，
君乐风兮栏帐起，
君乐吾兮吾心噬。


五言诗版
恋雨偏打伞，爱阳却遮凉。
风来掩窗扉，叶公惊龙王。
片言只语短，相思缱倦长。
郎君说爱我，不敢细思量。


七言绝句版
恋雨却怕绣衣湿，喜日偏向树下倚。
欲风总把绮窗关，叫奴如何心付伊。


七律压轴版
江南三月雨微茫，罗伞叠烟湿幽香。
夏日微醺正可人，却傍佳木趁荫凉。
霜风清和更初霁，轻蹙蛾眉锁朱窗。
怜卿一片相思意，犹恐流年拆鸳鸯。
