我愛你孩子
二、讓我們微笑吧 Let Us Laugh
The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile, that costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
那最能賦予生命價值、代價最廉而回報最多的東西，不過一個令人心暢的微笑而已。
The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men, will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the Sun again.
由衷地熱愛同胞的微笑，會驅走心頭陰鬱的烏雲，心底收穫一輪夕陽。
It's full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent; it's worth a million dollars, and it doesn't cost a cent.
它充滿價值和美好，混合着堅毅的仁愛之心;它價值連城卻不花一文。
There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile; It always has the same good look; it's never out of style; It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;
當我們看到喜悅的微笑，憂傷就會一掃而光;它始終面容姣好，永不落伍;失敗令我們沮喪之時，它鼓勵我們再次嘗試;
The dimples of encouragement are good for me and pays the highest interest - for it is merely lent;
鼓勵的笑靨於你我大有裨益。它支付的利息高昂無比──只因它是種借貸形式;
It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn't cost a cent.
它價值連城卻不花一文。
A smile comes very easy - you can wrinkle up with cheer. A hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug, and always leaves an echo that is very like a hug.
來一個微笑很容易──嘴角歡快翹起來，你能百次微笑，可難得擠出一滴淚;它的漣漪深深波及心絃，總會留下反響，宛若擁抱。
So, smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant. It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn't cost a cent.
繼續微笑吧!誰都懂得它意味着什麼。它價值連城卻不花一文。
三、沉默 Slience
無聲即沉默。沉默有各種各樣——
An empty head or a blank mind which leads to speechlessness--that is silence.
腹中空泛，思想一片蒼白，故無言可發，這是沉默。
Enthusiasm fades like dying embers and thus leads to cynicism and indifference to life, which arouses neither happiness nor sadness, neither worries nor anger, and which costs people their interest in and desire for anything--that is silence.
熱情已如柴薪盡燃，故而冷漠處世，無喜無悲，無憂無憤，對人世的一切都失去興趣和慾望，這也是沉默。
Despite all the experiences of love and hate, of disorientation and reorientation, of order-giving that was answered by hundreds and call-issuing that was not answered by a single soul, there is not a word uttered, but only a clam eye that watches on this world--that is also silence.
有過愛，有過恨，有過迷茫，有過穎悟，有過一呼百應的吶喊，有過得不到回報的呼喚，然而卻收口如瓶，只是平靜地冷眼看世界，這是沉默。
Worries and sufferings, tastes of changes and vicissitudes of the world, footprints left in mountains and valleys and noises of rivers and oceans cherished in the heart are all but hidden unrevealed--that is still silence.
飽經憂患，閱盡人生百態，胸有千山萬壑的屐痕，有江河湖海的濤聲，然而卻深思不語，這也是沉默。
Either an invaluable Italian violin or a reed whistle cut out casually would remain silent if they are not played, although the connotations of their silences differ greatly. For even though they are never touched by anybody, you can still imagine the vastly different sounds they can possibly produce.
一把價值連城意大利小提琴，和一隻被隨手削出的蘆笛，不去觸動它們，便都是沉默，但沉默的內涵卻並不一樣，即便永遠不在有人去觸動它們，你依然可以想象聽見它們可能發出的絕然不同的鳴響。
A flawless jade ornament, or a coarse, gross brick will always remain silent if it is left untouched, but who can draw an equal sign between them?
一塊瑩潔無暇的美玉，和一塊粗糙的土磚，放在那裏也都是沉默。然而誰能把它們所代表的內容劃一個等號呢?
Indeed, for a living being there is no such thing as true silence, for silence itself is a revelation of the mind and the heart, an echo of the soul of a different form.
其實，對活着的生命而言，真正的沉默是不存在的。沉默本身也是一種思想和心境的流露，是靈魂的另一種形式的回聲。
Some people use silence as a disguise of the emptiness of the head.
有的人以沉默掩飾思想的空虛。
Some use it as a means to depict their disorientation and melancholy.
有的人以沉默敘述迷茫和惆悵。
And some use it as a way of expressing their angers and sorrows.
有的人以沉默表達內心的憤怒和憂傷。
Silence usually is ephemeral. It reminds one of the bronze bells dangling from a pagoda's eaves; on windless days they are a decoration upon the age-weathered beauty, but with wind they give out wonderful tinkling and jingling metallurgic sounds, as if echoing age-old stories of long, long ago...
沉默常常是暫時的。就像古塔檐角下的銅鈴，無風時，它們只是一種古色古香的裝飾，一起風，它們便會發出奇妙的金屬音響，似乎是許多古老故事的悠遠的回聲……
Do you not think the same of silent people?
沉默的人們不也一樣?
They say that "silence is golden", but of what nature is this "gold"? It can include integrity, honesty and kindness; it can stand for indifference to and detachment from fame and fortune; but it can also act as an excuse for hypocrisy, slyness and cowardice... the glittering of gold may not necessarily be the most brilliant lustre in the world.
“沉默是金”，是怎樣的一種“金”呢? 這個“金”字中，可以包含正直、善良，可以代表淡泊、超脫，也可以是虛僞、圓滑、怯懦的一種託辭……金子的光澤，未必是世界上最動人的光澤。
Can it be that permanent silence is only represented by death?
是不是隻有死亡纔是永遠的沉默?
Perhaps even death cannot represent true silence, for the carrier of the soul can turn into dust, so that the sincere and wise voices from the bottom of the heart will trigger long-lasting echoes in the seas of human hearts...
也許，死亡也未必是真正的沉默，靈魂的載體可以化爲塵土，那些真誠睿智的心聲，卻會長久地在人心的海洋中引起悠長的回聲……
