英文勵志詩(6)

RESULTS AND ROSES
Edgar Albert Guest

The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.

The things are mighty few on earth,
That wishes can attain,
Whatever we want of any worth,
Weve got to work to gain.

It matters not what goal you seek,
Its secret here reposes:
Youve got to dig from week to week,
To get results or roses.

碩果和玫瑰
埃德加·阿爾貝特·格斯特陳採霞譯

要想有個美麗花園，
面積大小姑且不管，
只要園中長滿鮮花，
就必須把汗水揮灑。

有願望就能實現，
這樣的事還真是少見，只要想要的東西有價值，
就得靠努力去創造。

目標是什麼並不重要，
祕訣終歸只有一條：
周復一週不怕勞累，
才能收穫碩果或者玫瑰。
