dreams
by langston hughes
hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken winged bird
that can not fly.
hold fast to dreams
for when dreams go
life is a barren field
frozen with snow .
fast 紧紧地
winged 有翅膀的
barren 贫瘠的
frozen 冻结的,冰冷的
梦想 (朗斯顿·休斯)
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消亡,
生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀,
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消丧,
生命就像贫瘠的荒野,
雪覆冰封,万物不再生长。
