When Day Is Done
当时光已逝
If the day is done ,
假如时光已逝,
If birds sing no more .
鸟儿不再歌唱,
If the wind has fiagged tired,
风儿也吹倦了,
Then draw the veil of darkness thick upon me ,
那就用黑暗的厚幕把我盖 上,
Even as thou hast wrapt the earth with
The coverlet of sleep and tenderly closed ,
如同黄昏时节你用睡眠的衾被裹住大地 ,
The petals of the drooping lotus at dusk.
又轻轻合上睡莲的花瓣。
From the traverer,
路途未完,行囊已空,
Whose sack of provisions is empty before the voyage is ended ,
衣裳破裂污损,人已精疲力竭。
Whose garment is torn and dust-laden ,
你驱散了旅客的羞愧和困窘,
Whose strength is exhausted,remove shame and poverty ,
使他在你仁慈的夜幕下,
And renew his life like a flower under the cover of thy kindly night .
在你慈爱的夜幕下苏醒,如花朵般焕发生机。
我们总说生活繁琐,工作繁忙,需要操心的事情太多,其实都只是我们不懂得如何品味生活而已。其实,这只是我们想得太多:争强好胜的虚荣心,总是难以满足自己现在的生活,总是想这想那,这样的我们,生活怎么可能不繁琐?
其实我们可以试着活的简单些:比如摆脱自己的虚荣心、懂得适时满足、不要过多地思前想后,平添烦恼。这样我们才可以扔掉诸多不需要的包袱,做最单纯的人,走最幸福的路。
