"Good Morning Sunshine"
Good morning sunshine,阳光早安
you're my only light唯你是我光源
lying with me by my side,请陪伴我身边
you keep me warm all day 让我整日温暖
When the sun is up, 日上三竿
on a clear blue sky,青天湛蓝
you will act like a lover你像恋人，形影相伴
When the sky is grey,乌云满天
and the rain comes down,细雨绵绵
you will run for the cover你也逃离，踪迹不见
When it's cloudy and windy或有风云起
and the snowflakes arrive,亦会雪满天
you somehow just make me feel I'm alive有你吾生义更显
Feel the heat, come out of cold,穿透阴寒，贡献温暖
and your arm is touching 1 me拥我入怀
Good morning sunshine,阳光早安
be with me all day与我整日相伴（程若水译）
January 1st One What's your life?
However mean your life is,meet it and live it;do not shun 2 it and call it hard names.It
is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will
find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some
pleasant,thrilling,glorious hours,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from
the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts
before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as
contentedly 3 there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to
me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough
to receive without misgiving 4.Most think that they are above being supported by the town,
but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest
means.Which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like
sage 5.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the
old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your
thoughts.
<无论你的生活如何卑微>亨利·戴维·梭罗（Henry David Thoreau，1817-1862），美国作家、哲学
家
无论你的生活如何卑微，要正视它，生活下去；不要躲避它，也不要恶语相加。你的生活不像你本人
那么糟糕。你最富有的时候，你的生活看上去倒是最贫穷的。吹毛求疵的人即便在天堂也能挑出瑕疵
。要热爱你的生活，尽管它可能是一贫如洗。即使身处贫民院，你也可能享受一段愉快、兴奋、辉煌
的时光。西斜的落日映照在贫民院窗户上的余晖，与照射在富贵人家的豪宅上一样光芒万丈；门前的
积雪一样在早春消融。我只看到，一个气定神闲的人在那里可以过着自得其乐的生活，抱着振奋乐观
的思想，如同居住在皇宫里一般。依我之见，城镇的贫民倒是往往过着最独立的生活。也许他们十分
伟大，对任何事情皆可坦然受之。大多数人认为他们不屑于接受城镇的施救；但是实际上他们经常使
用不诚实的手段来维持自己的生计，这是更为不体面的。如同栽培花园中芬芳的花草一般在贫困中耕
耘吧。犯不着千辛万苦以求获得新东西，无论是衣服还是朋友。把旧的翻新再回归其中。万事万物没
有变，是我们在变。衣履可鬻，所思必存。
- Materialists face truth,whereas idealists shun it.唯物主义者面向真理，唯心主义者则逃避真理。
- This extremist organization has shunned conventional politics.这个极端主义组织有意避开了传统政治。
- My father sat puffing contentedly on his pipe.父亲坐着心满意足地抽着烟斗。
- "This is brother John's writing,"said Sally,contentedly,as she opened the letter.
