To see the Summer Sky

Is Poetry, though never in a book it lie--

True Poems flee.

~Emily Dickinson

 

夏日的天空

如詩，但是書本裡找不到

好詩已逃之夭夭...

 

 

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.

~Sam Keen

 

炎炎夏日，慵懶是應該的。

 

 

Rest is not idleness

 

休息非懶惰

 

and to lie sometimes under trees on the grass on a summer's day

 

躺在夏日的林蔭下草地上

 

 

listening to the murmur of the water

 

聽水的聲音

(或喝冰水)

 

 

or watching the clouds float across the sky

is by no means a waste of time.

~John Lubbock

 

看天上的浮雲

絕對不是虛度光陰

 

 

 

In summer,

the song sings itself.

~William Carlos Williams

 

夏天

唱自己的歌

 

 

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes,

and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered soul.

A few of those days and you can become drunk

 with the belief that all's right with the world.

~Ada Louise Huxtable

 

夏天，宜把壓力跟衣服一起脫掉

讓疲憊的靈魂休息

碰到風和日麗的天氣甚至會因為天地靜好

而微醺

 

 

This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

~William Shakespeare

 

夏日暖風

愛開花了

 

 

Summer afternoon--summer afternoon;

to me, those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

~Henry James

 

夏日， 夏日

是中文裡最美麗的兩個字嗎?
