    根据公开媒体消息，上海市“11.15”特大火灾，以53人死亡、36人失踪（截至2010-11-17 08:00官方统计）的惨痛代价渐渐熄灭，实在令人扼腕痛惜！不由自主地想起了纽约“9.11”周年时，脍炙人口的一首悼念诗——《 IF I KNEW 》，彼时此景，实在融合为一种深深的情感，令人唏嘘！借此转录，以祭奠遇难者在天之灵，愿逝者安息......

[译文]

假如我知道，

这是最后一次看着你入睡，

我要为你紧掖好被角，祈祷上帝把你灵魂守牢。

假如我知道，

这是最后一次送你走出家门，

我会叫你转回头，再给你一次吻和拥抱。

http://s15/middle/60366402g954fc35d8d6e&690

 

假如我知道，

我会在感激中听你的声音响起，

我会刻录下你的言语和动作，

以便我能天天重温这个美好时刻。

假如我知道，

我要挤出每一分一秒，

停下来认真地对你说“我爱你”，

不会再像平日里那样敷衍了事。

假如我知道，

我会在那儿陪着你度过，

我坚信好运会降临，

我能让这厄运悄悄溜掉。



总以为会有明天，

可以弥补犯下的过失；

总以为会有第二次机会，

能够把每件事情做得完美。

总以为还有另一天，

说“我爱你”；

总以为还有另一次机会，

说“能为你做点什么吗”。



事实上我错了，

我只能拥有今天，

我应该告诉你我是多么多么爱你，

多么希望我们永不离弃。

明天没有与任何人相约，

无论你年轻还是年老，

今天或许是最后的一次机会，

和你心爱的人紧紧依偎。

为何还在等待明天，

今天不赶紧去做？

如果明天永不再来，

你会悔恨这一天。

如果你无法抽出时间，

给朋友一个问候，

给爱人一个拥抱、亲吻或笑脸，

也许这就成了他们最终的遗憾。

 

在今天紧拥着你爱的人吧，

在他们耳边低语，

告诉他们你是多么地爱他们，

多么渴望和他们在一起。

抓紧时间说一声“对不起”吧，

说“请原谅”“谢谢你”或者“太好了”吧，

如果明天不再来到，

你也不会为今天的事懊恼。

[原文]

If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep

I would tuck you in more tightly

and pray the Lord,your soul to keep

If I knew it would be the last time

that I see you walk out the door

I would give you a hug and kiss

and call you back for one more

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise

I would video tape each action and word

so I could play them back day after day

If I knew it would be the last time

I could spare an extra minute

to stop and say "I LOVE YOU"

instead of assuming you would know I do

If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day

Well I'm sure you'll have so many more

so I can let just this one slip away

For surely there's always tomorrow

to make up for an oversight

and we always get a second chance

to make everything just right

There will always be another day

to say 'I love you'

And certainly there's another chance

to say our'anthing I can do'

But just in case I might be wrong

and today is all I get

I'd like to say how much I love you

and I hope we never forget

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone

young or old alike

And today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight

So if you're waiting for tomorrow

why not do it today

For if tomorrow never comes

you'll surely regret the day

That you didn't take extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss

and you were too busy to grant someone

what turned out to be their one last wish

So hold your loved ones close today

and whisper in their ear

Tell them how much you love them

and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say"I'm sorry",

"Please forgive me","Thank you",or "It's OK"

And if tomorrow never comes

you'll have no regrets about today.
