眼泪和微笑纪伯伦我不愿用世俗的欢娱来换取内心的悲戚，也不愿让我忧伤的眼泪变成浅薄的嬉笑，我宁愿生活里有眼泪也有微笑。眼泪纯净内心，让我明白生活的奥秘；微笑带来良友，是我荣耀上帝的印记。眼泪使我体会心碎之人的忧伤，微笑是我快乐生活的模样。与其在绝望和挣扎中苟活，不如在希翼和盼望中死亡。我渴慕爱情，崇尚完美，因为邪恶使人肮脏污秽。我听过充满渴望的轻唱，它胜过世上最美的乐章。夜幕降临，花儿紧锁心房，拥抱着盼望进入梦乡。晨曦初露，花儿轻启香唇，接受太阳的亲吻。在花儿渴望和满足的生命里，有眼泪和微笑的哲理。大海的水汽蒸发，汇集成云彩。它飘过丘陵和山谷，在和风吹拂下滋生雨露，雨露飘落大地，汇成小溪和河流，奔回大海，它自己的家乡。云彩离别和重逢的经历，有眼泪和微笑的哲理。人的灵魂如同云彩，他告别自己的居所来到大千世界，飘过忧伤的高山，和喜乐的平原。面对死亡的微风，他坦然回乡，那是充满爱和美的海洋，那是上帝的胸膛。A Tear and A Smile Khalil GibranI would not exchange the sorrows of my heartFor the joys of the multitude.And I would not have the tears that sadness makesTo flow from my every part turn into laughter.I would that my life remain a tear and a smile.A tear to purify my heart and give me understanding.Of life's secrets and hidden things.A smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my kind andTo be a symbol of my glorification of the gods.A tear to unite me with those of broken heart;A smile to be a sign of my joy in existence.I would rather that I died in yearning and longing than that I live Weary and despairing.I want the hunger for love and beauty to be in theDepths of my spirit, for I have seen those who areSatisfied the most wretched of people.I have heard the sigh of those in yearning and Longing, and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.With evening's coming the flower folds her petalsAnd sleeps, embracing her longing.At morning's approach she opens her lips to meetThe sun's kiss.The life of a flower is longing and fulfillment.A tear and a smile.The waters of the sea become vapor and rise and comeTogether and area cloud.And the cloud floats above the hills and valleysUntil it meets the gentle breeze, then falls weepingTo the fields and joins with brooks and rivers to Return to the sea, its home.The life of clouds is a parting and a meeting.A tear and a smile.And so does the spirit become separated fromThe greater spirit to move in the world of matterAnd pass as a cloud over the mountain of sorrowAnd the plains of joy to meet the breeze of deathAnd return whence it came.To the ocean of Love and Beauty----to God.
