a tear and a smile
眼淚和微笑
by khalil gibran
i would not exchange the sorrows of my heart
for the joys of the multitude.
and i would not have the tears that sadness makes
to flow from my every part turn into laughter.
i would that my life remain a tear and a smile.
我不願用世俗的歡娛來換取內心的悲戚；
也不願讓我憂傷的眼淚變成淺薄的嬉笑。
我寧願生活裡有眼淚也有微笑。
a tear to purify my heart and give me understanding.
of life's secrets and hidden things.
a smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my kind and
to be a symbol of my glorification of the gods.
眼淚純淨內心，讓我明白
生活的奧秘；
微笑帶來良友，是我榮耀
上帝的印記。
a tear to unite me with those of broken heart;
a smile to be a sign of my joy in existence.
眼淚使我體會心碎之人的憂傷；
微笑是我快樂生活的模樣。
i would rather that i died in yearning and longing than that i live weary and despairing.
與其在絕望和掙扎中苟活，
不如在希翼和盼望中死亡。
i want the hunger for love and beauty to be in the
depths of my spirit,for i have seen those who are
satisfied the most wretched of people.
i have heard the sigh of those in yearning and longing, and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.
我渴慕愛情，崇尚完美，
因為邪惡使人骯髒汙穢。
我聽過充滿渴望的輕唱，
它勝過世上最美的樂章。
