咱不会写帖子，转首诗给大家看看：<br /><br />论孩子 -纪伯伦（Kahlil Gibran）<br /><br /><br />于是一个怀中抱着孩子的妇人说：请给我们谈孩子。<br />他说：<br /> 你们的孩子，都不是你们的孩子，<br /> 乃是“生命”为自己所渴望的儿女。<br /> 他们是借你们而来，却不是从你们而来，<br /> 他们虽和你们同在，却不属于你们。<br /> 你们可以给他们以爱，却不可给他们以思想，<br /> 因为他们有自己的思想。<br /> 你们可以荫庇他们的身体，却不能荫庇他们的灵魂，<br /> 因为他们的灵魂，是住在“明日”的宅中，那是你们在梦中也不能想见的。<br /> 你们可以努力去模仿他们，却不能使他们来象你们，<br /> 因为生命是不倒行的，也不与“昨日”一同停留。<br /> 你们是弓，你们的孩子是从弦上发出的生命的箭矢。<br /> 那射者在无穷之中看定了目标，也用神力将你们引满，使他的箭矢迅疾而遥远地射了出去。<br /> 让你们在射者手中的“弯曲”成为喜乐吧；<br /> 因为他爱那飞出的箭，也爱了那静止的弓。<br /><br />英文原文： <br />And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children." <br />And he said: <br /> Your children are not your children. <br /> They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. <br />They come through you but not from you, <br />And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. <br />You may give them your love but not your thoughts. <br />For they have their own thoughts. <br />You may house their bodies but not their souls, <br />For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. <br />You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. <br />For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. <br />You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. <br />The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. <br />Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; <br />For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.<br /> |
