 Dreams

by Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken winged bird
That can not fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow .

fast 紧紧地
winged 有翅膀的
barren 贫瘠的
frozen 冻结的，冰冷的

梦想 (朗斯顿?休斯)
紧紧抓住梦想，
梦想若是消亡，
生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀，
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想，
梦想若是消丧，
生命就像贫瘠的荒野，
雪覆冰封，万物不再生长。
