Virtue

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright!

The bridal of the earth and sky.

The dew shall weep thy fall to-night.

For thou must die.

Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave.

Bids the rash gazer wipe the eye.

Thy root is ever in its grave.

And thou must die.

Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses,

A box where sweets compacted lie.

My music show you have your closes.

And all must die.

Only a sweet and virtuous soul,

Like season'd timber, never gives.

But though the whole world turn to coal.

Then chiefly lives.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

When.......

Sucess is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are.

It may be near when it seems afar.

So, stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.

It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

不要放弃！

当事情常常不如人意时，

当你跋涉前行的道路似乎总是上坎爬坡时，

当资金短缺而债台高筑时，

当你想笑但不得不叹息时，

当烦恼让你有些不堪重负时，

有必要的话，休息一下，但不要放弃。

成功就在失败的背面，

成功是疑云中透出一线银光。

你永远不能确定距离成功有多么近。

它可能近在咫尺，看上去却远在天边。

所以，当你遭遇最猛烈的打击时要坚持战斗。

就是在遇到困难的时候最不能放弃。

The Flight of Youth

Richard Henry Stoddard

There are gains for al our losses.

There are balms for all our pain,

But when youth, the dream, departs,

It takes something from our hearts,

And it never comes again.

We are stronger, and are better,

under manhood's sterner reign,

Still we feel that something sweet,

Following youth, with flying feet,

And will never come again.

Something beautiful is vanished,

And we sigh for it in vain.

Something beautiful is vanished,

And we sigh for it in vain,

We behold it everywhere,

On the earth, and in the air,

But it never comes again!

我们失去的一切都能得到补偿，

我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰；

可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝，

它带走了我们心中的某种美好，

从此一去不复返。

我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美，

在严峻的成年生活驱使下；

可是依然感到甜美的情感，

已随着青春飞逝，

不再返回。

美好已经消逝，

我们枉自为此叹息；

尽管在天地之间，

我们处处能见青春的魅力，

可是它不再返回！
