双语哲理小诗：诗人赫里克送给女孩的劝告 -- 罗伯特 . 赫里克

Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
[ 英 ] 罗伯特 . 赫里克
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying
要摘玫瑰得趁早，
岁月在催人老：
花儿今天在含笑，
明天就会残凋。
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher hes a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he""s to setting.
太阳是天上华灯，
它正冉冉升空。
越高越快到终点，
越高越近黄昏。
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
豆蔻年华最美好，
青春热血方盛。
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be nor coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.
虚度光阴每况下，
时间永不停留。
抓紧时机别害羞，
早嫁个意中人，
青春一去不回头
蹉跎贻误一生。
