为你读书：《假如我知道》 If I Knew

 

原文节选欣赏

 

If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you walk out the door,

假如我知道这将是你最后一次迈出家门，

I would give you a hug and kiss you, and call you back for more.

我会拥抱你，亲吻你，一遍遍地唤着你回来。

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise.

假如我知道这将是最后一次听到你在赞扬中高亢的声音，

I would video tape each action and word , so I could play them back day after day.

我会用录像记录下你每一句言语，每一个动作，这样我可以日日地不停播放。

If I knew it would be the last time I could spare an extra minute or so to stop and say "I love you, "instead of assuming you would know I do.

假如我知道这将是最后一次说“我爱你”，我会留出额外的时间或者停下手头的工作告诉你，而不会自负的认为你已经知道。

So, if you are waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

所以，如果你等待明天，为什么不在今天行动?

For, if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day...

因为，如果明天不到来，你必将为今天而后悔……
