亲爱的小鱼:
如果新年是一片新的天空,
我希望你是那最亮的星,
照亮前行的道路,闪耀自己的光芒,
无论遇到多少困难,都有勇气去闯。
如果成长是一本书,
我希望你慢慢翻阅每一页,
领悟生活的真谛,品味其中的甘苦,
学会坚强,学会感恩,学会珍惜。
如果梦想是一双翅膀,
我希望你勇敢飞翔,
不要害怕高空,不要畏惧远方,
因为你有力量,你有希望。
如果爱是一束光,
我希望你永远被它笼罩,
感受它的温暖,感受它的力量,
让它指引你前行,让它陪伴你成长。
小鱼,新的一年已经开启,
你有无限的可能和机遇,
如果勇敢,如果坚持,
你一定能够创造出属于自己的奇迹。

《 If 》
约瑟夫·鲁德亚德·吉卜林
If you can keep your head when all about you,
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
如果面对周围人对你无脑的横加指责,你仍能保持冷静
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
如果面对所有人的怀疑,你仍能坚信自己,并让所有的怀疑动摇;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
如果你肯耐心等待,不急不躁
遭人诽谤,而不以牙还牙
遭人憎恶,而不以恶报恶
既不目空一切,也不夸夸其谈
If you can dream —
and not make dreams your master;
如果你能追求梦想,而不被梦想而主宰
If you can think —
and not make thoughts your aim;
如果你勤于思辨,
而不迷失其中
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
and treat those two imposters just the same;
如果你能面对大喜,大难,
都能坦然不惊
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
如果你能忍受:你讲过的事实,被刻意曲解,并用于愚弄别人
或眼睁睁看着心血铸就的一切,轰然崩塌,仍能俯身重拾破旧的工具悉心修补
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
如果你敢将赢来的所有的筹码
孤注一掷
即便失败,也只是默默从头开始
不为失去多置一言
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
如果你能凝聚身心一起
即便别人全部撤退你依旧坚守阵地
那怕拼到身上一无所有
只有仅存的意志告诉自己“坚持到底!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch,
如果你与民交谈,不失谦卑
与王同行,不露谄媚
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
如果无论敌友,都无法对你造成伤害
If all men count with you, but none too much;
如果你能广结人缘,却又留有分寸
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
如果你能惜时如金,充分利用分分秒秒
那么,你将拥有整个世界。
最重要的是:孩子,从此你将成为一个真正的男人!
