DREAMS Langston Hughes兰斯顿 ·休斯

• 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.

• 紧紧抓住梦想• 梦想若是消亡• 生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀

• 再也不能飞翔。

• 紧紧抓住梦想• 梦想若是消丧• 生命就像贫瘠的荒野• 雪覆冰封，万物不再生长

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again再别康桥

• Very quietly I take my leave 

• As quietly as I came here; 

• Quietly I wave good-bye 

•To the rosy clouds in the western sky. 

• 轻轻的我走了，•正如我轻轻的来；

•我轻轻的招手，

• 作别西天的云彩。

• The golden willows by the riverside 

• Are young brides in the setting sun; 

• Their reflections on the shimmering waves 

•Always linger in the depth of my heart. 

• 那河畔的金柳， 

• 是夕阳中的新娘；

•   波光里的艳影，

• 在我的心头荡漾。 

• The floatingheart growing in the sludge 

• Sways leisurely under the water; 

• In the gentle waves of Cambridge 

• I would be a water plant! 

• 软泥上的青荇，•

• 悠悠的在水底招摇；

•   在康桥的柔波里， 

•我甘心做一条水草！ 

• That pool under the shade of elm trees 

•Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky; 

• Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds 

• Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream? 

• 那榆荫下的一潭，

• 不是清泉 ,是天上虹 ,

• 揉碎在浮藻间，

• 沉淀着彩虹似的梦。 

• To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream 

• To where the green grass is more verdant; 

•Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight 

• And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight. 

• 寻梦？撑一支长蒿，•

• 向青草更青处漫溯，

• 满载一船星辉， 

•在星辉斑斓里放歌。 

• But I cannot sing aloud 

•Quietness is my farewell music; 

• Even summer insects heep silence for me 

•Silent is Cambridge tonight! 

• 但我不能放歌， •

• 悄悄是别离的笙箫；•

• 夏虫也为我沉默，

•沉默是今晚的康桥！ 

• Very quietly I take my leave 

• As quietly as I came here; 

• Gently I flick my sleeves 

•Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away 

•November 6,1928

• 悄悄的我走了，

• 正如我悄悄的来；•

• 我挥一挥衣袖，•

• 不带走一片云彩。
