Sleep Like A Rabbit

《睡得像只小兔》

作者：Margaret Wise Brown，翻译：孙莉莉

Sleep like a rabbit, sleep like a bear. 

睡得像只小兔，睡得像只熊

Sleep like the old cat under the chair.

睡得像只老猫，椅子底下藏

Sleep like a rabbit, sleep like a bear. 

睡得像只小兔，睡得像只熊

Sleep like the old cat under the chair.

睡得像只老猫，椅子底下藏

Tuck in your paws and lower your head. 

收起你的爪子，低下你的头

Close your blinking eyes so red. 

闭上你的小红眼睛，别再亮晶晶

Take a deep breath on your rabbit bed 

小兔子上床准备好，来个深呼吸

And now lie down. 

现在，卧倒

Sleep like a polar bear asleep in the sea,

睡得像只北极熊，海里的北极熊

Flat on his back afloat in the sea,

仰面飘在海浪中，海浪晃呀晃

Up on the waves like a boat in the sea,

好像躺在小船里，就要睡着了

Snoozing away like a bear on the sea. 

打瞌睡的北极熊，漂在海面上

Sleep like a rabbit, sleep like a bear. 

睡得像只小兔，睡得像只熊

Sleep like the old cat under the chair.

睡得像只老猫，椅子底下藏

Sleep like a rabbit, sleep like a bear. 

睡得像只小兔，睡得像只熊

Sleep like the old cat under the chair.

睡得像只老猫，椅子底下藏

Why so sleepy little mole,

小鼹鼠，也困了

Curled and tightly sleeping? 

蜷成一团睡着了？

There is no noise beneath the ground

地下无声又无息

And no worms sing. 

虫儿也把歌声歇

Little squirrel up in a tree,

树上有只小松鼠

Resting there so sleepily, 

摇摇晃晃快睡着

Fluffy tail about your head

毛茸茸的尾巴盖脸上

In your little wind-rocked bed. 

小床风中晃

Curl up there so sleepy. 

蜷在里面睡得香

Sleep like a rabbit, sleep like a bear. 

睡得像只小兔，睡得像只熊

Sleep like the old cat under the chair.

睡得像只老猫，椅子底下藏

Sleep like a rabbit, sleep like a bear. 

睡得像只小兔，睡得像只熊

Sleep like the old cat under the chair.

睡得像只老猫，椅子底下藏

-出自绘本《听世界念一首晚安诗》

每年美国大学申请季结束之后，哈佛大学的校报The Crimson都会选择公布被哈佛大学录取的10名学生的文书，其中，一位署名为Yueming的华裔学生写了爷爷的故事，平静隐忍的生活才是常态，也最感动人心。


My Ye-Ye always wears a red baseball cap. I think he likes the vivid color—bright and sanguine, like himself. When Ye-Ye came from China to visit us seven years ago, he brought his red cap with him and every night for six months, it sat on the stairway railing post of my house, waiting to be loyally placed back on Ye-Ye’s head the next morning. 
我的爷爷总是戴着一顶红色棒球帽。我想他喜欢鲜艳的颜色，就像他自己一样。七年前，爷爷从中国来看望我们时，他带着他的红帽子，在那六个月来每天晚上，它都挂在我家楼梯栏杆上，等待第二天早上忠实地戴在爷爷的头上。


He wore the cap everywhere: around the house, where he performed magic tricks with it to make my little brother laugh; to the corner store, where he bought me popsicles before using his hat to wipe the beads of summer sweat off my neck. Today whenever I see a red hat, I think of my Ye-Ye and his baseball cap, and I smile.
他到处戴着帽子：在房子周围，他用帽子表演魔术，逗我弟弟笑；去街角的商店，他给我买了冰棒，然后用帽子擦去我脖子上的夏日汗珠。今天，每当我看到一顶红帽子，我就会想起我的爷爷和他的棒球帽，我笑了。


Ye-Ye is the Mandarin word for “grandfather.” My Ye-Ye is a simple, ordinary person—not rich, not “successful”—but he is my greatest source of inspiration and I idolize him. Of all the people I know, Ye-Ye has encountered the most hardship and of all the people I know, Ye-Ye is the most joyful. That these two aspects can coexist in one individual is, in my mind, truly remarkable.
Ye Ye在中文里是“祖父”的意思。我的爷爷是一个简单、普通的人，不富有，也不“成功”——但他是我最大的灵感来源，我崇拜他。在我认识的所有人中，爷爷经历苦难最多的人；而在我认识的所有人中，爷爷也是最快乐的。在我看来，这两个方面可以在一个人身上共存真是了不起。


Ye-Ye was an orphan. Both his parents died before he was six years old, leaving him and his older brother with no home and no family. When other children gathered to read around stoves at school, Ye-Ye and his brother walked in the bitter cold along railroad tracks, looking for used coal to sell. When other children ran home to loving parents, Ye-Ye and his brother walked along the streets looking for somewhere to sleep. Eight years later, Ye-Ye walked alone—his brother was dead.
爷爷是个孤儿。他的父母在他六岁之前就去世了，这使他和他的弟弟无家可归。当其他孩子聚集在学校的炉灶旁看书时，爷爷和他的兄弟冒着严寒沿着铁轨行走，捡拾煤渣出售。当其他孩子跑回家找慈爱的父母时，爷爷和他的兄弟在街上寻找睡觉的地方。八年后，爷爷开始独自行动，因为他的弟弟死了。


Ye-Ye managed to survive, and in the meanwhile taught himself to read, write, and do arithmetic. Life was a blessing, he told those around him with a smile.
爷爷设法活了下来，同时自学了读、写和算术。“生活是一种福分” ，他微笑着告诉身边的人。


Years later, Ye-Ye’s job sent him to the Gobi Desert, where he and his fellow workers labored for twelve hours a day. The desert wind was merciless; it would snatch their tent in the middle of the night and leave them without supply the next morning. Every year, harsh weather took the lives of some fellow workers.
几年后，爷爷去戈壁沙漠工作，他和他的同事们在那里每天工作12小时。沙漠大风无情；它会在半夜吹走走他们的帐篷，让他们第二天早上一无所有。每年，恶劣的天气都夺去了一些同事的生命。


After eight years, Ye-Ye was transferred back to the city where his wife lay sick in bed. At the end of a twelve-hour workday, Ye-Ye took care of his sick wife and three young children. He sat with the children and told them about the wide, starry desert sky and mysterious desert lives. Life was a blessing, he told them with a smile.
八年后，爷爷被调回他的妻子卧病在床的城市。在每天12小时的工作日结束时，爷爷回家照顾了生病的妻子和三个年幼的孩子。他和孩子们坐在一起，告诉他们广阔的、星光灿烂的沙漠天空和神秘的沙漠生活。“生活是一种福分，”他微笑着告诉他们。


But life was not easy; there was barely enough money to keep the family from starving. Yet, my dad and his sisters loved going with Ye-Ye to the market. He would buy them little luxuries that their mother would never indulge them in: a small bag of sunflower seeds for two cents, a candy each for three cents. Luxuries as they were, Ye-Ye bought them without hesitation. Anything that could put a smile on the children’s faces and a skip in their steps was priceless.
但生活并不容易；当时家里几乎没有足够的钱让这个家庭免于挨饿。然而，我父亲和他的姐妹们喜欢和爷爷一起去市场。他会给他们买一些他们母亲永远不会让他们沉迷其中的小奢侈品：两分钱一小袋的瓜子，三分钱一块的糖。尽管是奢侈品，爷爷还是毫不犹豫地买下了。任何能让孩子们脸上带着微笑、脚步轻快的东西都是无价的。


Ye-Ye still goes to the market today. At the age of seventy-eight, he bikes several kilometers each week to buy bags of fresh fruits and vegetables, and then bikes home to share them with his neighbors. He keeps a small patch of strawberries and an apricot tree. When the fruit is ripe, he opens his gate and invites all the children in to pick and eat. He is Ye-Ye to every child in the neighborhood.
爷爷今天仍然去市场。在78岁的时候，他每周骑几公里的自行车去买几袋新鲜的水果和蔬菜，然后骑车回家与邻居分享。他种了一小块草莓和一棵杏树。当水果成熟时，他打开门，邀请所有的孩子进来采摘和吃。他对附近的每个孩子都很友好。


I had always thought that I was sensible and self-aware. But nothing has made me stare as hard in the mirror as I did after learning about the cruel past that Ye-Ye had suffered and the cheerful attitude he had kept throughout those years. I thought back to all the times when I had gotten upset. My mom forgot to pick me up from the bus station. My computer crashed the day before an assignment was due. They seemed so trivial and childish, and I felt deeply ashamed of myself.
我一直认为我很理智，很有自知之明。但是，没有什么能让我像在了解了爷爷所遭受的苦难过去和他这些年来一直保持的乐观态度后那样震惊。我回想起我心烦意乱的时候。我妈妈忘了去汽车站接我；在作业到期前一天，我的电脑死机了。这些事情看起来如此琐碎和幼稚，我为自己深感羞愧。


Now, whenever I encounter an obstacle that seems overwhelming, I think of Ye-Ye; I see him in his red baseball cap, smiling at me. Like a splash of cool water, his smile rouses me from grief, and reminds me how trivial my worries are and how generous life has been. Today I keep a red baseball cap at the railing post at home where Ye-Ye used to put his every night. Whenever I see the cap, I think of my Ye-Ye, smiling in his red baseball cap, and I smile. Yes, Ye-Ye. Life is a blessing.
现在，每当我遇到一个看似无法逾越的困难时，我就会想起爷爷；我看到他戴着红色棒球帽，朝我微笑。他的微笑像一股清水，把我从悲伤中唤醒，让我想起我的烦恼是多么微不足道，生活是多么慷慨。今天我把一顶红色棒球帽放在家里的栏杆柱上，爷爷曾每天晚上都把它放在那里。每当我看到帽子，我都会想起我的爷爷，他戴着红色棒球帽微笑着，我也微笑着。是的，爷爷。生活是一种福分。


没有人可以和生活讨价还价，所以只要活着就一定要努力。不要让自己寻找各种借口对生活低头，去迫使自己创造更好的生活，让生活的方方面面都成为你自己的祝福。

农历七月初七，是一个充满爱的日子，永清和Susie首次合作，在云南和杭州隔空为你读纪伯伦的On Love。美国总统罗斯福说：“纪伯伦是最早从东方吹来的风暴，横扫了西方，但它带给我们海岸的全是鲜花。”

On Love 节选
作者：Kahlil Gibran

When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. 
当爱召唤你时，请追随它，尽管爱之道路艰难险峻。当爱的羽翼拥抱你时，请顺从它，尽管隐藏在其羽翼之下的利刃可能会伤到你。


And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
当爱向你诉说时，请相信它，尽管它的声音可能打破你的梦想，就如同北风吹落花园里所有的花瓣。


For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. 
爱会给你戴上桂冠，也会折磨你。爱会助你成长，也会给你修枝。


Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
爱会上升到枝头，抚爱你在阳光下颤动的嫩枝，也会下潜至根部，撼动你紧抓泥土的根基。


But if, in your fear, you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
但是，如果你在恐惧之中只想寻求爱的平和与快乐，那你就最好掩盖真实的自我，避开爱的考验，进入不分季节的世界，在那里你将欢笑，但并非开怀大笑，你将哭泣，但并非尽情地哭。


Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
爱只将自己付出，也只得到自己。爱一无所有，也不会为谁所有，因为爱本身就已自足。


Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:
爱除了实现自我别无他求。但是如果你爱而又不得不有所求，那就请期望：


To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
将自己融化并像奔流的溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己优美的曲调。


To know the pain of too much tenderness.
明了过多的温柔所带来的苦痛。


To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
被自己对爱的理解所伤害;


And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
并情愿快乐地悲伤。


To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
在黎明带着轻快的心醒来并感谢又一个有家的日子;


To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
在中午时分休息并冥想爱的心醉神迷;


To return home at eventide with gratitude;
在黄昏怀着感恩之心回家;


And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
然后为内心所爱之人祈祷，吟唱赞美之歌，并带着祷告和歌声入眠。


May you love and be loved.
愿你爱和被爱着。

August

作者：Charles Dickens 查尔斯·狄更斯

There is no month in the whole year, in which nature wears a more beautiful appearance than in the month of August. 

一年之中，没有任何一个月份的自然风光比得过八月的风采。

Spring has many beauties, and May is a fresh and blooming month, but the charms of this time of year are enhanced by their contrast with the winter season. 

春天美不胜收，而五月也是一个明媚清新、繁花似锦的月份，但这些时节的魅力是由于与冬天的对比而增强的。

August has no such advantage. It comes when we remember nothing but clear skies, green fields, and sweet-smelling flowers—when the recollection of snow, and ice, and bleak winds, has faded from our minds as completely as they have disappeared from the earth — and yet what a pleasant time it is! 

八月没有这样的优势。它来的时候，我们只记得明朗的天空、碧绿的田野，还有芳香四溢的花朵——记忆中的冰雪、刺骨的寒风都已完全从我们的脑 海中消逝，就仿佛它们在地球上了无踪迹——然而八月是多么令人惬意的季节啊！

Orchards and cornfields ring with the hum of labours; trees bend beneath the thick clusters of rich fruit which bow their branches to the ground; and the corn, piled in graceful sheaves, or waving in every light breath that sweeps above it, as if it wooed the sickle, tinges the landscape with a golden hue. 

果园和麦田到处都充溢着忙碌劳作的声响；串串果实压得果树都弯下了腰，枝条低垂到地面；还有谷穗，有的一捆捆优雅地堆挤在一起，有的迎风招展，仿佛在向镰刀求爱，它们给周围的景致染上了一层金黄的色调。

A mellow softness appears to hang over the whole earth; the influence of the season seems to extend itself to the very wagon, whose slow motion across the well-reaped field, is perceptible only to the eye, but strikes with no harsh sound upon the ear.

整个大地似乎笼罩在醇香柔和 的气氛中；这秋季的气氛似乎也影响了那些马车，只有眼睛可以察觉到它们穿过收割过的田野缓慢移动，但耳旁却寂静无声。

为你读英语美文 · 第467期 怦然心动 · 永清
主播：永清


Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss; but every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and once you do, nothing will ever compare.


有人住高楼，有人处深沟，有人光万丈，有人一身锈，世人万千种，浮云莫去求，斯人若彩虹，遇上方知有。-韩寒 [译]


嗨，亲爱的朋友，我是永清，欢迎收听为你读英语美文，刚才我为你读的是电影《怦然心动》的经典台词。2007年，当时60岁的美国导演罗伯·莱纳以一部《遗愿清单》表达了他对人生的终极思考。而在3年后，他换了一个角度，以一部改编自文德琳·范·德拉安南著名小说的电影《怦然心动》，在少男少女青春懵懂的故事里，表达了他对成长和爱的思考。接下来，我要为你读《怦然心动》的一个经典片段。




The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. It was those eyes, something in those dazzling eyes.
见到布莱斯·罗斯基的第一天，我怦然心动，他那迷人的双眼闪闪发光。


Dad asked me what I like about Bryce. I guess it’s something about his eyes. Or maybe his smile. And Dad asked me what about him. I couldn’t answer. 
爸爸问我喜欢布莱斯的什么。我想大概是他的眼睛和笑容。爸爸接着问我他人怎么样。我答不上来。


Then Dad said, “You have to look at the whole landscape. A painting is more than the sum of its parts. A cow by itself is just a cow. A meadow by itself is just grass, flowers. And the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light. But you put them all together…and it can be magic.”
接着爸爸说：“你必须看整体。一幅画可不仅仅是它各个部分的简单组合。一头牛只是一头牛。草地只是一片长满青草和话多的土地。透过树枝的阳光，也不过是一束光而已。但是你把他们组合在一起，就美得不可思议。”


I didn't really understand what he was saying, until one afternoon…when I was up in a Sycamore tree. I was rescuing a kite. It was a long way up, higher than I ever been. And the higher I got, the more amazed I was by the view. I began to notice how wonderful the breeze smelled, like sunshine and wild grass. I couldn't stop breathing it in, filling my lungs with the sweetest smell l'd ever known.
爸爸的话我一知半解，直到有一天下午，我爬上了一颗梧桐树。我只是想取风筝。风筝挂得很高，我从未爬到过那么高的地方。随着我爬得越高，我越发被眼前的美景吸引。我开始发现微风的味道如此芬芳，就像阳光和野草。我忍不住深呼吸，让肺中充盈着我有生以来最美好的气息。 


From that moment on, that became my spot. I could sit there for hours, just looking out at the world. Some days the sunsets would be purple and pink. And some days they were a blazing orange…setting fire to the clouds on the horizon. It was during one of those sunsets that my father's idea of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts…moved from my head to my heart. 
从那一刻起，这里就变成了我的小天地。我可以一坐就是几个小时，从那里眺望着这个世界。有时候，日落是紫色或粉红的。有时候，橙色的余晖点燃地平线的晚霞。就是在某个那样的日落时刻，我开始明白爸爸“整体大于局部”的道理，从头脑的认知进入到心里的认同。


爱上一个人，始于颜值，合于性格，忠于人品。第一眼让我们怦然心动的往往是外表，颜值，身材，举止；当随着交往的深入，我们会发现，三观和性格才是决定能不能一起走下去的关键；当两个人在一起久了以后，善良可靠这些人品的基石，会像钻石一样恒久发光。The whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

1802年4月，英国浪漫主义诗歌的奠基人-华兹华斯，和妹妹一起出行拜访友人，途经一片美丽的湖，走到湖湾边时，忽然看到一片金色的水仙花迎春开放，在树荫下，在湖水边，迎着微风起舞翩翩，连绵不绝，如繁星灿烂，在银河里闪闪发光。华兹华斯心生欢喜，用诗的语言记录下了看到的情景：


Daffodils 
《咏水仙》
作者： William Wordsworth，译者：飞白
 


I wandered lonely as a cloud
我孤独地漫游，像一朵云


That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
在山丘和谷地上飘荡，


When all at once I saw a crowd,
忽然间我看见一群


A host of golden daffodils;
金色的水仙花迎春开放，


Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
在树荫下，在湖水边，


Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
迎着微风起舞翩翩。


Continuous as the stars that shine
连绵不绝，如繁星灿烂，


And twinkle on the Milky Way,
在银河里闪闪发光，


They stretched in never-ending line
它们沿着湖湾的边缘


Along the margin of a bay:
延伸成无穷无尽的一行；


Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
我一眼看见了一万朵，


Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。


The waves beside them danced, but they
粼粼波光也在跳着舞，


Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
水仙的欢欣却胜过水波；


A poet could not but be gay,
与这样快活的伴侣为伍，


In such a jocund company:
诗人怎能不满心欢乐！


I gazed -and gazed -but little thought
我久久凝望，却想象不到


What wealth the show to me had brought:
这奇景赋予我多少财宝:


For oft, when on my couch I lie
每当我躺在床上不眠，


In vacant or in pensive mood,
或心神空茫，或默默沉思，


They flash upon that inward eye
它们常在心灵中闪现，


Which is the bliss of solitude;
那是孤独之中的福祉；


And then my heart with pleasure fills,
于是我的心便涨满幸福，


And dances with the daffodils.
和水仙一同翩翩起舞。


我们看过的美景能给予我们什么样的财富呢？华兹华斯说：“每当我躺在床上不眠，或心神空茫，或默默沉思，它们常在心灵中闪现，那是孤独之中的福祉；于是我的心便涨满幸福，和水仙一同翩翩起舞。” 


在日常生活里，我们也可以像华兹华斯一样，用心看风景，也许是名山大川，也许是不知名的小溪，再也许只是路边的树和花。我们走过的路，看过的风景，用心经历的体验都会内化成我们的一部分。


中医师李辛和华兹华斯对自然的观点也不谋而合，李辛从中医的角度说：“我们有自然的充电场所，为什么不去呢？哪怕没有自己的院子，就在小区里走一走，在马路上走一走，看看树，看看天，这就是在积蓄内在的能量。这才是真正的补，比吃人参、虫草、鹿茸什么的好太多了。我们要跟天地联系，跟自然、花草、土地联系，这是人人都可以做到的简单方法。”


希望我们和华兹华斯，和李辛一样，“静心体会自身己心，感受天地四季变化，花鸟鱼虫浮沉，意气神体互感，远取诸物，近取诸身。”

I'd Pick More Daisies

《我会采更多的雏菊》

作者：Don Herold

If I had my life to live over,

I'd try and make more mistakes next time.

I would relax.

I would limber up.

I would be sillier than I have been this trip.

I know of very few things I would take seriously.

如果我能够从头活过，

我会试着犯更多的错。

我会放松一点，

我会灵活一点。

我会比这一趟过得傻。

很少有什么事能让我当真。

I would be crazier.

I would be less hygienic.

I would take more chances.

I would take more trips.

I would climb more mountains, 

swim more rivers, 

and watch more sunsets.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would have more actual troubles 

and fewer imaginary ones.

我会疯狂一点。

我会少讲究些卫生。

我会冒更多的险。

我会更经常地旅行。

我会爬更多的山，

游更多的河，

看更多的日落。

我会多吃冰激淋，少吃豆子。

我会惹更多麻烦，

可是不在想象中担忧。

You see, I am one of those people 

who live sanely and sensibly, 

hour after hour, day after day.

Oh, I have had my moments and, 

if I had to do it over again, 

I'd have more of them.

你看，我小心翼翼地稳健地理智地活着，

一个又一个小时，

一天又一天。

噢，我有过难忘的时刻，

如果我能够重来一次，

我会要更多这样的时刻。

In fact, I'd try to have nothing else.

Just moments, one after another,

 instead of living so many years ahead each day.

I have been one of those people who never go anywhere 

without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute.

事实上，我不需要别的什么。

仅仅是时刻，一个接着一个，

而不是每天都操心着往后的漫长日子。

我曾经不论到哪里去都不忘记带上

温度计，热水壶，雨衣和降落伞。

If I had to do it over again, 

I would go places and do things 

and travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over, 

I would start bare-footed earlier 

in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.

如果我能够重来一次，

我会到处走走，什么都试试，

并且轻装上阵。

如果我能够从头活过，

我会延长打赤脚的时光，

从尽早的春天到尽晚的秋天。

I would play hooky more.

I wouldn't make such good grades 

except by accident.

I would ride on more merry-go-rounds.

I would pick more daisies.

我会更经常地逃学。

我不会考那么高的分数，

除非是一不小心。

我会多骑些旋转木马。

我会采更多的雏菊。
