Dreams
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。

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.

冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。
