英語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌：Living Life Over(如果有來(lái)生)

　　If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.

　　I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
 
　　I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

　　I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

　　I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

　　I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

　　I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

　　I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day.

　　I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.

　　There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.

　　如果有來(lái)生

　　如果有來(lái)生，我會(huì)少說(shuō)，多聽(tīng)

　　我會(huì)請(qǐng)朋友來(lái)家吃飯，即便地毯臟了，沙發(fā)褪色了。

　　我會(huì)抽時(shí)間聽(tīng)祖父絮叨他的青年時(shí)代

　　我不會(huì)因?yàn)閯倓偘杨^發(fā)梳理定型而要求在夏天關(guān)上車窗。

　　我會(huì)點(diǎn)燃那支雕成玫瑰狀的蠟燭，而不讓它在塵封中熔化。

　　我會(huì)與孩子們坐在草地上，不去擔(dān)心草地上的污漬。

　　我會(huì)把淚水和笑聲更多地留給觀察人生，而不是觀看電視。

　　如果生病了，我會(huì)臥床休息，而不是自認(rèn)沒(méi)有我，地球就不轉(zhuǎn)了。

　　我不會(huì)買那些僅僅是實(shí)用，或者不顯臟，或者保證能用一生的東西。

　　我會(huì)更多地說(shuō)“我愛(ài)你”……“對(duì)不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有來(lái)生，

　　我會(huì)抓住每一秒……看人生，讀人生……體驗(yàn)人生……再也不放手。
