these things shall never die 這些美好不會消逝
by --charles dickens/查爾斯.狄更斯
the bright,the beautiful, 一切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,
that stirred our hearts in youth, 強烈地震撼着我們年輕的心靈的,
the impulses to wordless prayer, 推動着我們做無言的禱告的,
the dreams of love and truth; 讓我們夢想着愛與真理的;
the longing after something's lost, 在失去後為之感到珍惜的,
the spirit's yearning cry, 使靈魂深切地呼喊着的,
the striving after better hopes- 為了更美好的夢想而奮鬥着的-
these things can never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
the timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手，
a brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的時候，
a kindly word in grief's dark hour 傷慟、困難的時候，一句親切的話
that proves a friend indeed ; 就足以證明朋友的真心；
the plea for mercy softly breathed, 輕聲地乞求憐憫，
when justice threatens nigh, 在審判臨近的時候，
the sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一種傷感--
these things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
let nothing pass for every hand 在人間傳遞温情
must find some work to do ; 盡你所能地去做；
lose not a chance to waken love- 別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----
be firm,and just ,and true; 為人要堅定，正直，忠誠；
so shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒
beam on thee from on high. 就不會消失。
and angel voices say to thee---你將聽到天使的聲音在説-----
these things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
大學生英語詩歌朗誦（2）：
to see a world in a grain of sand,
and a heaven in a wild fllower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour.
從一粒沙子看到一個世界，
從一朵野花看到一個天堂，
把握在你手心裏的就是無限，
永恆也就消融於一個時辰
大學生英語詩歌朗誦（3）：
my will is easy to decide, 我的遺囑容易確定
for there is nothing to divide. 因為我並無財產分給所愛
my kin don’t need to fuss and moan— 親人不必抱怨，悲哀---
“moss does not cling to rolling stone.” “滾石不生苔，我也不聚財”
my body? oh, if i could choose, 遺體怎麼辦？---哦，如果還有商量
to ashes i’d let it reduce, 我願它化為一撮灰燼
and let the merry breeze blow 讓歡快的柔風把它輕揚
my dust to where some flowers grow. 吹到鮮花盛開的地方
perhaps some fading flowers then 也許有些正在凋謝的花兒
would come to life and bloom again. 會因此復活，重新怒放
this is my last and final will, 這便是我最後的遺願
good luck to all of you! 祝你們所有的人幸福安康！
