These I can promise

《我可以给你这些承诺》

——by Mark Twain

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;

我不能许诺给你灿烂一生，
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;

我不能许诺使你富裕亨通；
I cannot promise you an easy pathway

我不能向你允诺捷径之道，
That leads away from change or growing old.

我不能许诺免你色衰变老。

But I can promise all my heart's devotion;

但我能许诺我衷心的献奉；
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;

用我的微笑解除你的悲痛。
A love that's ever true and ever growing;

有我对你永恒挚爱的真诚；
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

希望就在你我相握的手中。
