如果有來生

小雪編譯

If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.

如果上天給我一個機會，讓我有來生，我會少說，多傾聽。

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.

我會把我的朋友請到家里來吃晚飯，即便地毯臟了，沙發褪色了。

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

我會抽時間聽祖父絮絮叨叨地述說他的青年時代。

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

我不會因為剛剛把頭發梳理定型而要求在炎熱的夏天關上車窗。

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

我會點燃那支雕成玫瑰狀的蠟燭，而不讓它在灰塵中熔化掉。

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

我會與我的孩子們一同坐在草地上，不去擔心草地上的污漬會把衣服弄臟。

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

我會把淚水和笑聲更多地留給觀察人生，而不是觀看電視。

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day.

如果生病了，我會臥床休息，而不是自認沒有我，地球就不轉了。

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical， would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.

我不會買那些僅僅是實用，或者不顯臟，或者保證能用一生的東西。

There would have been more \"I love you\"s ... more \"I'm sorry\"s... but mostly， given another shots at life， I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.

我會更多地說“我愛你”……“對不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有來生，我會抓住每一秒……看人生，讀人生……體驗人生……再也不放手。
