孩子身上的美德
You, little child, with your shining eyes and rosy2 cheeks, you can lead us along the pathway
to a more abundant life.
We blundering grown-ups need in our lives the virtues that you have in yours:
The joy and enthusiasm of looking forward to each new day with glorious expectations of
wonderful things to come.
The vision that sees the world as a splendid place with good fairies, brave knights3, and
glistening4 castles reaching toward the sky.
The radiant curiosity that finds adventure in simple things:the mystery of billowy
clouds, the miracle of snowflakes, the magic of growing flowers.
The tolerance5 that forgets differences as quickly as your childish quarrels are spent, that holds
no grudges6 , that hates never, that loves people for what they are.
The genuineness of being oneself; to be done with sham7 , pretense8 , and empty show;
to be simple, natural and sincere.
The courage that rises from defeat and tries again, as you with laughing face rebuild the
house of blocks that topples to the floor.
你,小孩子,眼睛明亮,脸庞红润,能够引导我们走向更加丰富的生活。
我们,屡犯大错的成年人,生活中需要你们身上的美德。
你们快乐而热忱,每天都期盼美好的事情发生。
在你们的眼里,世界是一座辉煌的宫殿,有美丽的仙子,有勇猛的骑士,有直达天庭
的金光闪闪的城堡。
你们有着强烈的好奇心,能在小事中发现神奇:汹涌的云海,飘舞的雪花,含苞待放
的花朵。
稚气的争吵短暂,分歧很快便忘;你们心胸宽广,不记恨,不记仇,真诚地爱别人。
你们本性率真,不伪装,不做作,纯朴、自然而诚恳。
你们有勇气从失败中站起来从头再来,正像你们快乐地大笑着重建倒塌在地板上的积
木房。
