贊美母親的詩歌一

　　什么支配著世界?

　　What rules the World?

　　--by William Ross Wallace.

　　They say that man is mighty,

　　He governs land and sea;

　　He wields a mighty scepter

　　O’er lesser powers that be;

　　But a mightier power and stronger,

　　Man from his throne has hurled,

　　And the hand that rocks the cradle

　　Is the hand that rules the world.

　　都說人力無窮

　　支配著陸地與大海

　　行使著至高無上的王權(quán)

　　統(tǒng)治著弱小的生靈

　　然而還有更強(qiáng)大的力量

　　將人從寶座上掀起

　　是那雙輕推著搖籃的手

　　主宰著整個(gè)世界

　　贊美母親的詩歌二

　　MOTHER

　　“M” is for the million things she gave me,

　　“O” means only that she is growing old,

　　“T” is for the tears she shed to save me,

　　“H” is for her heart of purest gold,

　　“E” is for her eyes,with love-light shining,

　　“R” means right,and right she will always be.

　　Put them all together,

　　they spell “MOTHER”,

　　A word that means the world to me.

　　---Howard Johnson(c.1915)

　　譯文：

　　M代表著母親給予了我們一切，

　　O意味著與此同時(shí)她正在衰老，

　　T象征著她為了拯救我們流的淚，

　　H表明了她最無私最偉大的心靈，

　　E是她充滿著愛萬分溫柔的眼神，

　　R說明著正確，并且代表著她永恒的真理。

　　把他們和在一起， 便是母親，

　　一個(gè)代表著最無私最偉大的給予了我所有全部的詞。
