請好好讀讀您的日記吧!
Read your diary with care
今日您難得有空閒,隨手從書架上拿了一本閒書,漫不經心地瀏覽。
Today is a rare day when you are free.
During your leisure,you picked a book
without thought.
我想搖搖您的手臂,在您的耳畔上說一句:「請讀讀您的日記吧!」
I shook your arm and reminded:
"why not look at your diary!"
儘管您早已習慣了不須記日記的歲月;
Though you've long since rid
the habit of recording every day
儘管您不想回憶過去跋涉的艱辛。
and you may not wish
to recall the strife left behind,
還是請您讀讀您的日記!
but please, open your diary!
那裡也許有許多拙於言詞,純樸熱情的真誠;
perhaps you'll find sincere
passion in awkward sentences
那裡也許會有花言蜜語,阿諛獻媚的無奈;
maybe amidst the articulation,
there is a sense of resignation
那裡也許會有慷慨激昂,繆誤偏激的不堪;
in moments of passion,
you may find extreme prejudice
那裡也許會有患得患失,憧憬期許的激盪。
during all the past struggles,
the violent changes could yet excite the soul.
但請不要懷疑和責備自己的往昔;
but never question nor attack your past
也不要輕視和嘲笑過去的那番純真;
don't meet that innocence
with contempt and disdain
更不要追悔那不必追悔的過去。
and regret not the history.
那一片真誠寫下的日記,
that page, written with honesty
給了您迷途的指引,進步的鼓勵,得意時的冷靜和警醒。
it guides in uncertain times,
encourages progress and ushers calm
and alarm into restless minds.
那每一點經驗的積累的驗證,才造就了如今的您。
Every step along the way is what makes you today.
請靜下心來仔細咀嚼那段永不復返的回憶,再回過頭來好好端詳自己
Please savour the days that may never return
and understand yourself.
日記是一面心靈的鏡子,經常照一照,您就不會迷失自己。
A diary is a mirror
and to look upon it often is to not lose oneself.
朋友!不管您現在是失意是彷徨或是欣喜,請好好讀讀您的日記吧!
Friends! Be you frustrated, confused
or jubilant, please read your diary with care!
