英语自学网

　　Living life over 如果有来生 我会抓住每一秒
        　　如果有来生，我会少说，多听;我会请朋友来家里吃饭，即使把地毯弄脏;如果有来生，我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛，不让它在尘封中融化;我会与孩子们坐在草地上，不去担心草地上的污渍……如果有来生，我会说更多的“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有来生，我会抓住每一秒……看人生，读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。
        　　If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
        　　I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
        　　I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
        　　I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
        　　I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
        　　I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
        　　I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.
        　　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 for the day.
        　　I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.
        　　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.
