我會(huì)采更多雛菊
唐?赫羅爾德
如果我能夠從頭活過,
我會(huì)試著犯更多的錯(cuò)。
我會(huì)放松一點(diǎn),我會(huì)靈活一點(diǎn)。
我會(huì)比這一趟過得傻。
很少有什么事情能讓我當(dāng)真。
我會(huì)瘋狂一些,我會(huì)少講點(diǎn)衛(wèi)生。
我會(huì)冒更多的險(xiǎn),我會(huì)更經(jīng)常的旅行。
我會(huì)爬更多的山,游更多的河,看更多的日落。
我會(huì)多吃冰激凌,少吃豆子。
我會(huì)惹更多的麻煩,可是不在想象中擔(dān)憂。
你看,我小心翼翼地穩(wěn)健地理智地活著。
一個(gè)又一個(gè)小時(shí),一天又一天。
噢,我有過難忘的時(shí)刻。
如果我能夠重來(lái)一次,我會(huì)要更多這樣的時(shí)刻。
事實(shí)上,我不需要?jiǎng)e的什么,
僅僅是時(shí)刻,一個(gè)接著一個(gè)。
而不是每天都操心著以后的漫長(zhǎng)日子。
我曾經(jīng)不論到哪里都不忘記帶上:
溫度計(jì),熱水壺,雨衣和降落傘。
如果我能夠重來(lái)一次,
我會(huì)到處走走,什么都試試,并且輕裝上陣。
如果我能夠重頭活過,
我會(huì)延長(zhǎng)打赤腳的時(shí)光。
從盡早的春天到盡晚的秋天。
我會(huì)更經(jīng)常的逃學(xué)。
我不會(huì)考那么高的分?jǐn)?shù),除非是一不小心。
我會(huì)多騎些旋轉(zhuǎn)木馬,
我會(huì)采更多的雛菊。
?唐?赫羅爾德(Don Herold),美國(guó)作家、演員,此詩(shī)原名是《I'd Pick More Daisies》。
I'd Pick More Daisies
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.
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.You see, I am one of those people who live prophylacticallyand 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.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 withouta thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat and a parachute.If I had to do it over again, I would go places and do thingsand travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to liver over, I would start bare-footed earlierin the spring and stay that way later in the fall.
I would play hooky more.I wouldn't make such good grades except by accident.I would ride on more merry-go-rounds.I'd pick more daisies.
