【我會采更多的雛菊】

如果我能夠從頭活過，

我會試著犯更多的錯。

我會放松一點。

我會靈活一點。

我會比這一趟過得傻。

很少有什么事能讓我當真。

我會瘋狂一點。

我會少講究些衛(wèi)生。

我會冒更多的險。

我會更經(jīng)常地旅行。

我會爬更多的山，游更多的河，看更多的日落。

我會多吃冰激淋，少吃豆子。

我會惹更多麻煩，可是不在想象中擔憂。

你看，我小心翼翼地穩(wěn)健地理智地活著，

一個又一個小時，一天又一天。

噢，我有過難忘的時刻，如果我能夠重來一次，

我會要更多這樣的時刻。

事實上，我不需要別的什么。

僅僅是時刻，一個接著一個，

而不是每天都操心著往后的漫長日子。

我曾經(jīng)不論到哪里去都不忘記帶上

溫度計，熱水壺，漱口杯，雨衣和降落傘。

如果我能夠重來一次，我會到處走走，

什么都試試，并且輕裝上路。

如果我能夠從頭活過，我會延長打赤腳的時光，

從盡早的春天到盡晚的秋天。

從盡早的春天到盡晚的秋天。

我會更經(jīng)常地逃學。

我不會考那么高的分數(shù)，除非是一不小心。

我會多騎些旋轉木馬。

我會采更多的雛菊。

納丁-斯待爾，時年八十七歲

我很喜歡這首詩，在zhidan的博客上看到，很感動，從小到大的教育，我們無數(shù)次的被要求，不要犯錯，做事要更小心謹慎，要打掃干凈，要講規(guī)矩，不要這樣不要那樣，已經(jīng)養(yǎng)成習慣，沒有人的時候我們也會這樣要求自己，我們的心慢慢變得比較刻板，失去了創(chuàng)造力，我們總覺得自己不夠好，又一再的要求自己，從此生活也一點點失去樂趣。是的從現(xiàn)在開始，我想我會放松一點，想吃什么吃什么，爬更多的山，冒更多的險，自由自在，是的我會試著犯更多的錯。

I'd Pick More Daisies

If I had my life to live over,

I'd try and make more mistakes next time.

I would relax.

I would limber up.

I would be sillier than I have been this trip.

I know of very few things I would take seriously.

I would be crazier.

I would be less hygienic.

I would take more chances.

I would take more trips.

I would climb more mountains,

swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I am one of those people who live prophylactically

and sanely and sensibly, hour after hour, day after day.

Oh, I have had my moments and, if I had to do it over again,

I'd have more of them.

In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments,

one after another, instead of living so many years ahead each day.

I have been one of those people who never go anywhere without

a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat and a parachute.

If I had to do it over again, I would go places and do things

and travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to liver over, I would start bare-footed earlier

in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.

I would play hooky more.

I wouldn't make such good grades except by accident.

I would ride on more merry-go-rounds.

I'd pick more daisies.
