The Furthest Distance in the World by Tagore

The Furthest Distance in the World

By Tagore 泰戈尔

 

 

The furthest distance in the world

世界上最遥远的距离

Is not between life and death

不是生与死

But when I stand in front of you

而是 我就站在你面前

Yet you don't know that I love you

你却不知道我爱你

 

 

The furthest distance in the world

世界上最遥远的距离

Is not when I stand in front of you

不是 我就站在你面前

Yet you can't see my love

你却不知道我爱你

But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both

而是 明明知道彼此相爱

Yet cannot be together

却不能在一起

 

 

The furthest distance in the world

世界上最遥远的距离

Is not being apart while being in love

不是 明明知道彼此相爱 却不能在一起

But when plainly cannot resist the yearning

而是 明明无法抵挡这股思念

Yet pretending you have never been in my heart

却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里

 

 

The furthest distance in the world

世界上最遥远的距离

Is not but using one's different heart

不是 明明无法抵挡这股思念 却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里

To dig an uncrossable river

而是 用自己冷漠的心对爱你的人

For the one who loves you

掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠

Japan by Billy Conllins

Japan

 

By Billy Collins

 

 

Today I pass the time reading a favorite haiku,

saying the few words over and over.

 

It feels like eating the same small, perfect grape

again and again.

 

I walk through the house reciting it

and leave its letters falling

through the air of every room.

 

I stand by the big silence of the piano and say it.

I say it in front of a painting of the sea.

I tap out its rhythm on an empty shelf.

 

I listen to myself saying it,

then I say it without listening,

then I hear it without saying it.

 

And when the dog looks up at me,

I kneel down on the floor

and whisper it into each of his long white ears.

 

It's the one about the one-ton temple bell

with the moth sleeping on its surface,

 

and every time I say it, I feel the excruciating

pressure of the moth

on the surface of the iron bell.

 

When I say it at the window,

the bell is the world

and I am the moth resting there.

 

When I say it at the mirror,

I am the heavy bell

and the moth is life with its papery wings.

 

And later, when I say it to you in the dark,

you are the bell,

and I am the tongue of the bell, ringing you,

 

and the moth has flown

from its line

and moves like a hinge in the air above our bed.

If by life you were deceived by Pushkin

If by life you were deceived   

Pushkin

 

《假如生活欺骗了你》

 

普希金

 

 

If by life you were deceived,

 

Don't be dismal, don't be wild!

 

In the day of grief, be mild.

 

Merry days will come, believe.

 

Heart is living in tomorrow;

 

Present is dejected here;

 

In a moment, passes sorrow;

 

That which passes will be dear.

 

 

 

假如生活欺骗了你，

 

不要悲伤，不要心急！

 

忧郁的日子里需要镇静：

 

相信吧，快乐的日子将会来临。

 

心儿永远向往着未来；

 

现在却常是忧郁。

 

一切都是瞬息，

 

一切都将会过去；

 

而那过去了的，

 

就会成为亲切的怀恋。

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit by Shakespeare

Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.-Shakespeare

宁为聪明的愚夫，不作愚蠢的才子。

  A light heart lives long .

  豁达者长寿。

  Do not , for one repulse , give up the purpose that you resolved to effect .

  不要只因一次失败，就放弃你原来决心想达到的目的。

  In delay there lies no plenty , Then come kiss me , sweet and twenty , Youth’s a stuff that will not endure .

  迁延蹉跎，来日无多，二十丽姝，请来吻我，衰草枯杨，青春易过。

  The time of life is short ; to spend that shortness basely, it would be too long .

  人生苦短，若虚度年华，则短暂的人生就太长了。

  Don’t gild the lily.

  不要给百合花镀金/画蛇添足。

  The empty vessels make the greatest sound .

  满瓶不响，半瓶咣当。

  The course of true love never did run smooth.

  真诚的爱情之路永不会是平坦的。

  Love, and the same charcoal, burning, need to find ways to ask cooling. Allow an arbitrary, it is necessary to heart charred

  爱，和炭相同，烧起来，得想办法叫它冷却。让它任意着，那就要把一颗心烧焦。

  Laughter is the root of all evil.

  笑是一切罪恶的根源。

  Love is the season sigh; The eyes have it purified the lovers of Mars; Love it aroused waves of tears. It is the wisdom of madness, choking bitterness, it does not tip of honey.

  爱情是叹息吹起的一阵烟；恋人的眼中有它净化了的火星；恋人的眼泪是它激起的波涛。它又是最智慧的疯狂，哽喉的苦味，吃不到嘴的蜜糖。

  Love is like a game of tug-of-war competition not stop to the beginning

  爱就像一场拔河比赛 ，一开始就不能停下来

  I would like now to seriously in different room of wonderful

  我只想现在认真过的精彩 无所谓好与坏

  people suddenly started a gentle love, love when people understand the deterioration of the niggling over

  爱让人变乖 突然间开始温柔了起来,爱让人变坏 懂得了什么时候该耍赖

  Love to talk about a bit of a surprise to people to learn the total patient injury

  谈一场恋爱 学会了忍耐 总有些意外 会让人受伤害

  If you understand the value of love and love you have given me I have to wait for the future

  只要你明白 珍惜爱与被爱 我愿意等待 你给我的未来

  Sweet love you, precious, I disdained the situation with regard emperor’s swap

  你甜蜜的爱，就是珍宝，我不屑把处境跟帝王对调

  No matter how long night, the arrival of daylight Association

  黑夜无论怎样悠长，白昼总会到来

  Words cannot express true love, loyalty behavior is the best explanation

  真正的爱情是不能用言语表达的，行为才是忠心的最好说明

  Love is a woman with the ears, and if the men will love, but love is to use your eyes

  女人是用耳朵恋爱的,而男人如果会产生爱情的话,却是用眼睛来恋爱

  I bogged down in a sea of blood back legs, unable to stop, go back, as far as like, people feel that there is no retreat. The future is a marshy area, people got in deeper and deeper

  我两腿早陷在血海里，欲罢不能,想回头，就像走到尽头般，叫人心寒,退路是没有了，前途是一片沼泽地，让人越陷越深

A Fairy Song by Shakespeare

A Fairy Song

William Shakespeare

 

Over hill, over dale,

Thorough bush, thorough brier,

Over park, over pale,

Thorough flood, thorough fire!

I do wander everywhere,

Swifter than the moon's sphere;

And I serve the Fairy Queen,

To dew her orbs upon the green;

The cowslips tall her pensioners be;

In their gold coats spots you see;

Those be rubies, fairy favors;

In those freckles live their savors;

I must go seek some dewdrops here,

And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.

 

This is poem is full of admire, to describe the young fairy.

In order to express the love with the deep beauty. Perhaps who inside Shakespeare.
