Dreams        梦想

By Langston Hughes

 翻译/秋子树

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

抓住梦想；

如果梦想消亡，

生命将如断翅的鸟儿

再也无法翱翔。

        .

Hold fast to dreams;

For where dreams go,

Life is barren field

Frozen with snow.

抓住梦想；

如果梦想走失，

生命就像荒瘠的原野

被冰雪冻僵。

Heights  高度

By Longfellow  翻译/秋子树

The heights by great men reached and kept

    Were not attained by sudden flight,

But they, while their companions slept,

    Were toiling upward in the night.

伟人所至高度，

并非一蹴而就；

同伴半夜酣睡时，

辛勤攀登仍不辍。

    昨晚在《英语经典美文》一书中读到英文原诗，觉得原译作在遣词上可以再简练些，就自己重新翻译了一下。
