如果有来生（英汉对照）

 
If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
如果我的生命有轮回......我会寡言多闻。

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
我会邀请朋友们来家里夜宵，即使这样会弄脏了地毯，使沙发的颜色淡去也再所不惜。

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
我会抽出时间来听祖父漫谈他的青涩年华。

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up onasummer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
我再不会在那个炎热的夏天也执意摇起车窗，因为我那刚刚染了色而被取笑的头发。

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
我会将雕刻成玫瑰模样的粉色蜡烛在它即将熔化在记忆之前点燃。

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
我会和我的孩子们围坐在青青草坪，而再不去管它们会被压损或是怎样。

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television-and more while watching life.
我会把我的欢笑和泪水更多的献给生活而不是电视剧。

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there fortheday.
我会在自己生病是时候躺在床上休息，而不是重复着地球没有我就难以运转的“谎言”。

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical,would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
我将不会因为某件事情既成事实就接受相信，也将不会显露堕落并保证一生都不会。

There would have been more I love yous ... more I'm sorrys...but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
来生将会有更多的“我爱你”...... 更多的“对不起”...... 而更重要的是，我将会在来生做一些此生不曾有过的尝试，我会抓住每时每刻...... 审视生命......真正的去了解生命......感受生命......永不放弃。
