By L. Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That can never fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen only with snow梦想
兰斯顿·休斯
紧紧抓住梦想,
千万别让它消亡,
否则生活就像鸟儿断了翅膀,
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想,
千万别让它消亡,
否则生活就像严冬的荒野,
遍地布满冰霜。Can you remember any poems you learned before?
Warming UpQuiz in Chinese traditional poemsIf you would ask me how my sorrow has increased,
Just see the over-brimming river flowing east! 虞美人 —— 李煜
问君能有几多愁,
恰是一江春水向东流。How long will the bright moon appear? Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on high.水调歌头 —— 苏轼
明月几时有?把酒问青天
不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年?I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.青玉案·元夕 —— 辛弃疾
众里寻他千百度,
蓦然回首,
那人却在,
灯火阑珊处。I seek but seek in vain,
I search and search again;
I feel so sad, so drear,
so lonely, without cheer. 声声慢 —— 李清照
寻寻觅觅,
冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。 A SPRING MORNING
I awake light-hearted this morning of spring,
Everywhere round me the singing of birds,
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
(by Meng Haoran)春晓
春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟.
夜来风雨声,花落知多少.
In the quiet night
So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed---
Could there have been a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight.
Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of my home.
(By Li Bai)
静夜思
床前明月光,疑是地上霜。
抬头望明月,低头思故乡。
