A Friend -- Edgar A. Guest
朋友--埃德加·阿爾貝特·格斯特
A friend is one who stands to share
朋友就是無話不說
Your every touch of grief and care
分擔(dān)煩惱共享歡樂
He comes by chance, but stays by choice
相識于偶然,但卻不離不棄
Your praises he is quick to voice
你的溢美之詞也能秒入他耳
No grievous fault or passing whim can make an enemy of him
沒有什么大錯抑或奇思怪想會使你們反目成仇
And though your need be great or small
只要你有求于他,大或小
His strength is yours throughout it all
他都幫你渡過任何難關(guān)
No matter where your path may turn
無論你走向何方
Your welfare is his chief concern
最擔(dān)心的是你的冷暖
No matter what your dream may be
你的凌云壯志
He prays your triumph soon to see
他都為你祈禱盼你早日實現(xiàn)
There is no wish your tongue can tell
任何美好祝愿都無以言表
But what it is your friend's as well
如果有,你的朋友也和你心照不宣
The life of him who has a friend
一生有朋友陪伴
Is double-guarded to the end
永遠都不會深陷迷途
