双语有声阅读：硕果和玫瑰

要想有个美丽花园， 面积大小姑且不管，

 

要想园中长满鲜花， 就必须把汗水挥洒。

 

RESULTS AND ROSES 

Edgar Albert Guest

 

 

The man who wants a garden fair, 

Or small or very big, 

With flowers growing here and there, 

Must bend his back and dig¹.

 

The things are mighty² few on earth, 

That wishes can attain, 

Whatever we want of any worth, 

We’ve got to work to gain.

 

It matters not what goal you seek, 

Its secret here reposes: 

You?ve got to dig from week to week, 

To get results or roses.

 

硕果和玫瑰 

埃德加·阿尔贝特·格斯特

 

要想有个美丽花园， 

面积大小姑且不管， 

要想园中长满鲜花， 

就必须把汗水挥洒。

 

有愿望就能实现， 

这样的事还真是少见，

只要想要的东西有价值， 

就得靠努力去创造。

 

目标是什么并不重要， 

秘诀终归只有一条： 

周复一周不怕劳累， 

才能收获硕果或者玫瑰。
