三笙有孕荐：纪伯伦的《致孩子》，让无数父母收藏的治愈小诗

Your children are not your children.

你的孩子，并不是你的孩子。

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。

They come through you

他们借助你来到这个世界，

but not from you,

却并非因你而来，

And though they are with you,

他们陪伴你，

yet they belong not to you.

却并不属于你。

You may give them your love

你可以给予他们爱，

but not your thoughts,

却不能给予他们思想，

For they have their own thoughts.

因为他们有自己的思想。

You may house their bodies

你可以庇护他们的身体，

but not their souls,

却不能庇护他们的灵魂，

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

因为他们的灵魂属于明天，

which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

属于你在梦境中也无法达到的明天。

You may strive to be like them,

你可以拼尽全力，变得像他们一样，

but seek not to make them like you,

却不要让他们变得和你一样，

For life goes not backward

因为生命不会倒退，

nor tarries with yesterday.

也不可能在过去停留。

You are the bows

你是弓，

from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

你的孩子是弦上即将发出的生命箭矢。

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,

弓箭手遥望未来之路上的箭靶，

and he bends you with his might

用尽力气将你拉开，

that his arrows may go swift and far.

使箭射得又快又远。

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness,

你们怀着愉悦的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，

For even as he loves the arrow that flies,

因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，

so he loves also the bow that is stable.

也爱无比稳定的弓。

你的孩子其实不是你的孩子
