秀色可餐

今天偶然看到这首纪伯伦的诗，觉得很好，贴出来和大家一起分享

On Children
Kahlil Gibran
. g$ x3 a6 j+ YYour children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
/ S1 i/ v* S- u9 q0 U* I" Y' XThey come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
; C  J' J1 v( F% v! PYou may give them your love but not your thoughts,
( E- Z/ W, N6 H9 YFor they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
9 v  l& A: l4 @, C: C- D  ZFor their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
+ I! R  G  o  S% owhich you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
% {( z) ^# q- m1 D' {For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
; U& Z6 u' w$ q# `& CYou are the bows from which your children
8 Y* O8 S5 A' `& i- bas living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
9 O) E: ?! |+ M# i, i( x1 Nand He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
4 s" g; ?5 M0 R. b; xLet your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
- Y7 y: a+ e6 L% |For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
. v1 ^- j) M2 a) w" dso He loves also the bow that is stable.

秀色可餐

下面是中文翻译，可能不是很贴切。当你真正体会到其中的涵义时，便会发现其中“爱”、“放手”、“分清责任”、“信任”、“尊重”、“正向信念”这些家庭教育的真谛都包含其中。

- u$ }6 A3 N0 p9 F( D; n! n# K你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
% [. J8 t4 [, x* g他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
他们借助你来到这世界，却非因你而来。
2 ?8 O5 T" t/ L他们在你身旁，却并不属于你。
你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
因为他们有自己的思想。
你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
$ t8 @+ P7 ]9 T$ g8 K! q8 y你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
& I+ V+ \" ^' t& L  C# n却不要让他们变得和你一样，
2 d+ v, Z' E1 N* d2 r: m0 f0 x因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。
8 ?6 b' I( H, X# j0 t6 v你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。
弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶，
它用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。
怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，
因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，也爱无比稳定的弓。
