「你的育儿经」致我们终将独立的孩子——纪伯伦

今天给大家分享一首来自纪伯伦的诗 , 《一个孩子》 , 是女儿出生前偶尔读到的 , 之后也经常拿出来读一读 , 品一品 。 优美的语言、真挚的情感、鞭辟入里的哲理 , 每读一次就被感动一次 , 思考一次 , 很适合夜深人静的时候 , 听着轻音乐 , 反复咀嚼、品味 。

On Children - Kahlil Gibran
纪伯伦-关于子女Your children are not your children. 你的儿女 , 其实不是你的儿女 。 They are the sons and daughters of Lifes longing for itself. 他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子 。They come through you but not from you,他们借助你来到这个世界 , 却非因你而来 ,And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. 他们在你身旁 , 却并不属于你 。You may give them your love but not your thoughts , 你可以给予他们的是你的爱 , 却不是你的想法 ,
For they have their own thoughts. 因为他们有自己的思想 。You may house their bodies but not their souls,
你可以庇护的是他们的身体 , 却不是他们的灵魂 ,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
因为他们的灵魂属于明天 , 属于你做梦也无法达到的明天 。You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. 你可以拼尽全力 , 变得像他们一样 , 却不要让他们变得和你一样 ,For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. 因为生命不会后退 , 也不在过去停留 。You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. 你是弓 , 儿女是从你那里射出的箭 。The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶 ,and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. 他用尽力气将你拉开 , 使他的箭射得又快又远 。Let your bending in the archers hand be for gladness; 怀着快乐的心情 , 在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧 ,For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.因为他爱一路飞翔的箭 , 也爱无比稳定的弓 。
