A Morning Wish

佚 名

The sun is just rising in the morning of another day.What can I wish that this day may bring me?Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer，nothing at the expense of other men;but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather,as they pass and gather strength.

I wish that this day could bring me a few friends， who understand me， and yet remain my friends;I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.

I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel，even though the trail be not blazed，and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.

I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills，and the blue sea stretching to the horizon，and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made.

I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor， and the power to laugh， a little leisure with nothing to do.

And I crave for a few moments of quiet，silent meditation in the morning of this day.

朝陽又在新的一天中冉冉升起。我期許這一天帶給我什么呢？我希望帶給我的不是令世界或他人更貧窮的東西，不是損害別人的東西，而是那些微小的、能觸動(dòng)我的東西，它們經(jīng)過時(shí)，或者不斷聚集力量之時(shí)不會(huì)妨礙我。

我希望這一天能夠帶給我一些惺惺相惜的朋友，希望我們友誼長存；我也希望這一天能夠給我?guī)硪环菡嬲袃r(jià)值的工作。

我希望這一天能夠帶給我無畏遠(yuǎn)行的胸懷，即使旅途沒有光亮的照耀；我還希望這一天能夠帶給我善解人意的心。

我希望這一天能夠讓我看到永恒的山岡，看到遼闊無邊的藍(lán)色海洋，看到人類的雙手造就的美麗事物。

我希望這一天能夠帶給我幽默感，笑的力量和無事可做的片刻悠閑。

這一天的早上，我渴望片刻安靜的沉思靜想。
