据说是一位患癌症的小女孩写的，以前《读者》和《青年文摘》都转载过，但都是中文版的
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
你曾注意过旋转木马上嬉戏的小孩吗？
你曾聆听细雨落在底上溅起的声音吗？
曾追逐过飞来飞去的蝴蝶吗？
你曾凝视着落日渐黄昏吗？
你最好慢下来，
步子不要这么快，
因为时光短暂，
生命之乐不会持久。
你是否每天忙忙碌碌，慌慌忙忙，
当你问声“你好吗？”你是否听到了回答？
当忙碌一天后，
你是否躺在床上还想着明天的种种琐事？
你最好慢下来，
步子不要这么快，
因为时光短暂，
生命之乐不会持久。
你是否曾告诉你的孩子明天将要做的事？
而匆忙中没有留意到孩子的伤心，
你是否曾因失去联系，
而使一段珍贵的友谊无奈凋零？
你最好慢下来，
步子不要这么快，
因为时光短暂，
生命之乐不会持久。
当你匆匆往某处赶时，
你就错过了在马路上的乐趣；
当你生活中满是焦虑和急促时，
日子就像未开封的礼物，
这样被你丢掉......
生活不是速度的竞赛，
让我们放慢生活的舞步，
在曲终人散，
仔细倾听这生命之乐
