丛林
          ¤ 丰筌 翻译
James Lister Cuthbertson 原作

让我们从黎明到黑夜
都享有澳大利亚的蓝天，
让我们无须再作任何标志
无论我们的路途伸向何方。

让我们大白天时
能在林地里自由地歇息 --
呼吸着桉树的芬芳，
和清冷海风的味香。

让我们享有合欢的金灿
满载水露的空气，
和这最沉寂土地所展现
粗犷的美丽。

这些是使我们魂牵梦萦的喜爱，
愉悦的沉迷时光，
像头上天空一样的明朗，
像野丛林花一般的清香。

The Bush

¤by James Lister Cuthbertson

Give us from dawn to dark
Blue of Australian skies,
Let there be none to mark
Whither our pathway lies.


Give us when noontide comes
Rest in the woodland free --
Fragrant breath of the gums,
Cold, sweet scent of the sea.

Give us the wattle's gold
And the dew-laden air,
And the loveliness bold
Loneliest landscape wear.


These are the haunts we love,
Glad with enchanted hours,
Bright as the heavens above,
Fresh as the wild bush flowers.

茧
           ¤ 丰筌 翻译

有一个人发现了一个蝴蝶的茧。
一天茧开了个小口。
好几个钟头他坐着看那茧里的蝴蝶挣扎地推动着它的身体挤出小洞口。
然后就好像没了动静，没有任何进展。
看起来好像那蝴蝶已经精疲力竭，再也出不来了。
于是那人决定帮蝴蝶的忙。
他拿了把剪刀把茧口其余部分剪开了。

蝴蝶很容易就从茧里出来了。
但是它的身躯肿胀翅膀萎缩。
那人继续观察着蝴蝶，因为他期待着片刻间蝴蝶的翅膀就会扩大张开，能够支撑起及时缩小的身躯。

可是这些都没发生!
事实是，那蝴蝶终其余生以它肿胀的身躯和萎缩的翅膀爬行，始终没能飞起来。

那个人的仁慈和草率反而害了那蝴蝶。 他并不了解由于茧的限制和蝴蝶必须付出的努力来穿过小小的洞口, 是大自然的方法迫使 蝴蝶身躯里的流体挤送到它的翅膀，使得它的翅膀能在蝴蝶完成穿出茧洞获得自由的过程中准备好飞翔的能力。

有时候奋斗挣扎正是我们的人生所需要的。 如果我们没有任何障碍地度过我们的人生，反而会使我们脆弱。我们就不会有应该有的坚强。

当你在承受逼迫和压力之下，要记住你在度过难关之后将是一个更好的人。

Cocoon
           ¤ Author Unknown

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we went through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.

When you are under pressure and stress, remember that you will be a better person after you have gone through it.

何必烦恼
           ¤ 丰筌 翻译

只有两件事使人烦恼：
或者你病了或者你状况良好。
如果你状况良好，就没有什么好烦恼的。
如果你病了，有两件事使你烦恼：
或者你会康复，或者你会死。
如果你死了，有两件事使你烦恼：
如果你上了天堂，就没什么好烦恼的；
如果你下了地狱，你将忙着和你的老朋友们握手，
你根本没有时间烦恼。

Why Worry
           ¤ Author Unknown

There are only two things to worry about.
Either you are sick or you are well.
If you are well there is nothing to worry about.
If you are sick, there are two things to worry about.
Whether you get well or whether you will die.
If you die there are two things to worry about.
If you go to heaven, you have nothing to worry about.
If you go to hell, you will be shaking hands with old friends, You will not have time to worry.

纯真的眼
(Delta Goodrem最新流行歌曲唱词)            ¤ 丰筌 翻译

可曾记得七岁时?
你唯一想做的事
是向妈妈炫耀你能弹钢琴
十年过去了
唯一长存心中的事
是当我们弹唱那首老歌的时候 妈妈哭了

我怀念那些日子我怀念那种生活
当我迷失在幻境里
在神秘的卡通国度里
在一个你不会变老的地方
在一个你不觉得寒冷的地方
我会唱着

好像我迷失在我的影像里
寻找着一颗明星来引导我的去向
为了内心不愿就此隐藏的小女孩
不要让我看到错误和谎言
让我保持我的信念和纯真的眼

可曾记得十五岁时?
学校的孩童叫你傻子因为你逮着机会就做梦
在逝去的时光里
唯一长存心中的事
是当我们弹唱那首老歌的时候 爸爸哭了

我怀念那些日子我怀念那种生活
当我迷失在幻境里
在神秘的卡通国度里
在一个你不会变老的地方
在一个你不觉得寒冷的地方

好像我迷失在我的影像里
寻找着一颗明星来引导我的去向
为了内心不愿就此隐藏的小女孩
不要让我看到错误和谎言
让我保持我的信念和纯真的眼

让我感觉到表面以下的事情
在内心的思潮下
学习着心灵潜在的字句
看着我们是如何给创造下了定义

我纯真的眼

我怀念那些日子我怀念那种生活
当我迷失在幻境里
在神秘的卡通国度里
在一个你不会变老的地方
在一个你不觉得寒冷的地方

好像我迷失在我的影像里
寻找着一颗明星来引导我的去向
为了内心不愿就此隐藏的小女孩
不要让我看到错误和谎言
让我保持我的信念和纯真的眼

Innocent Eyes

           ¤ Delta Goodrem

Do you remember when you were 7?
And the only thing that you wanted to do
Was show your mum that you could play the piano
Ten years have passed
And the one thing that will last
Is that same old song that we played along and made my mama cry

I miss those days and I miss those ways
When I got lost in fantasies
In a cartoon land of mysteries
In a place you won't grow old in a place you won't feel cold and I'll sing
　　　
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Find a star for my direction
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
For the little girl inside who won't just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
　　　
Do you remember when you were 15?
And the kids at school called you a fool 'cos you took the chance to dream
In the time that's past and the one thing that will last
Is that same old song that we played along and made my daddy cry
　　　
I miss those days and I miss those ways
When I got lost in fantasies
In a cartoon land of mysteries
In a place you won't grow old in a place you won't feel cold
　　　
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Find a star for my direction
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
For the little girl inside who won't just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
　　　
Let me feel things under the skin
Under the thoughts from within
Learning the subtext
Of the mind
See creation how we're defined
　　　
My innocent eyes
　　　
I miss those days and I miss those ways
When I got lost in fantasies
In a cartoon land of mysteries
In a place you won't grow old in a place you won't feel cold
　　　
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Find a star for my direction
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
For the little girl inside who won't just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Faith and innocent eyes
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
Faith and innocent eyes
(Dadedadedade dadedadedade)
For the little girl inside who won't just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
