Do You Fear the Wind?|你可惧怕狂风?

[英语美文]

Do you fear the force of the wind,
The slash1 of the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage2 again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf,
Go wade3 like the crane4:
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your cheek will tan5,
You'll grow ragged6 and weary7 and swarthy8,
But you'll walk like a man!


你可惧怕狂风肆虐,
你可惧怕暴雨抽打?
去面对、去拼搏,
让野性再次迸发。
像狼一样忍受饥寒,
像鹤一样趟水涉川:
你的手掌将变得粗壮厚实,
你的面颊会晒得古铜发亮,
你会衣衫褴褛、又乏又黑,
但是你将成为堂堂男子汉!
