英语名篇诵读 孩子的眼睛

Children's Eyes

孩子的眼睛

What kind of world is it my friend

That little children see?

I wonder if they see God¹ first

Because they just believe?

Do they see strength² in caring³ eyes

Who watch them as they play —

Or maybe love through gentle hands

That guide them on their way?

Do you think they dream of future times

When they would be a king —

Or just enjoy their present life

While with their friends they sing?

Do they see the acts of kindness⁴

Done for people who are poor?

Is the very best in everyone

What they are looking for?

And when the day is over,

As they close their eyes to sleep,

Do they look forward to tomorrow

With its promises to keep?

If this is what the children see,

Then it should be no surprise,

The world would be a better place

If we all had children's eyes.

在孩子们看来，朋友，

这个世界怎么样？

他们是否先看到了上帝，

因为他们有信仰？

他们玩耍时是否看见了

关爱他们的眼神的力量

或者温柔双手的绵绵爱心，

引导着他们前进的方向？

他们是否梦想过，

成为国王的未来时光，

还是享受现在

与小伙伴一起歌唱？

他们是否看见，

救济穷人的善举？

这是否就是他们寻找的，

每个人身上最美的东西？

白天结束时，

他们闭上眼睛入眠，

是否期待着，

信守承诺的明天？

这些若真是孩子的所见，

一点都不令人吃惊，

这个世界会更加美好，

如果我们都拥有孩子的眼睛。
