Life is what you make it
--Langston Hughes
Life can be good,
Life can be bad,
Life is mostly cheerful,
But sometimes sad.
Life can be dreams,
Life can be great thoughts,
Life can mean a person,
Sitting in court.
Life can be dirty,
Life can even be painful;
But life is what you make it,
So try to make it beautiful.
人生可能很精彩，
人生可能很无奈，
人生更多的是快乐，
但有时也会有悲哀。
人生可能心怀梦想，
人生可能有远大志向，
人生可能是一个人
坐在审判席上。
人生可能龌龊卑贱，
甚至可能痛苦不堪；
但人生全靠自己创造，
所以要加油把它变得美满。
