適合朗誦的英語詩歌
1、Robert H. Schuller
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure，It does mean you haven』 succeeded yet. Failure doesn』t mean you have accomplished nothing，It does mean you have learned something. Failure doesn』t mean you have been a fool，It does mean you had a lot of faith. Failure doesn』t mean you』ve been disgraced，It does mean you were willing to try. Failure doesn』t mean you don』t have it，It does mean you have to do something in a different way. Failure doesn』t mean you are inferior，It does mean you are not perfect. Failure doesn』t mean you』ve wasted your life，It does mean you have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn』t mean you should give up，It does mean you must try harder. Failure doesn』t mean you』ll never make it，It does mean it will take a little longer. Failure doesn』t mean God has abandoned you，It does mean God has a better idea.

羅伯特·H·舒勒
失敗並不代表你是個失敗者，它只表明你尚未成功。失敗並不代表你一無所獲，它只表明你吸取了一次教訓。失敗並不代表你很愚蠢，它只表明你信心百倍。失敗並不代表你無臉見人，它只表明你百折不回。失敗並不代表你工夫白費，它只表明你的做事方法尚待改進。失敗並不代表你低人一等。它只表明你並非完人。失敗並不代表你浪費生命，它只表明你有理由重新開始。失敗並不代表你應該放棄，它只表明你要加倍努力。失敗並不代表成功永不屬於你，它只表明你要付出更多的時間。失敗並不代表上帝已經拋棄你，它只表明上帝還有更好的主意。
2、never forget
our presence is a gift to the world.
you're unique and one of a kind.
your life can be what you want it to be
take it one day at a time.
focus on your blessings, not your troubles.
and you'll make it through what comes along.
have belief in your ability.
persist, have courage, be strong.
nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
the longer a problem is carried,
the heavier it gets.
don't take things too seriously.
live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
don't put limits on yourself.
your dreams are waiting to be realized.
don't waste time making excuses.
reach for your peak, your goal!
中文對照：
你的存在是獻給世界地一份厚禮。
你是唯一的，是獨一無二的。
你想要的生活能成為現實。
日子要一天天的過。
多關注好事，而不是煩惱。
不論有什麼困難，你都能克服。
相信你的能力。
要有毅力、有勇氣，要身心堅強。
焦慮最浪費精力。
就變得越沉重。
不要事事都太計較。
過平靜的生活，不要活在悔恨之中。
不要自我設限。
你的夢想等著你去實現。
不要浪費時間找種種借口。
攀登你的顛峰，追求你的目標。
3、the panther
his vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold
anything else. it seems to him there are
a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world.
中文對照：
隔著不時掠過的鐵欄，他的目光
已變得如此疲倦，再無法
承受哪怕一眼。似乎面前
有千條欄桿;而欄桿之後別無他物。
4、as he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.
中文對照：
他強韌的腳步靈巧地迴旋，
在狹小的空間踱步不止，
彷彿某種祭祀之舞圍繞著一個中心，
在中心一個偉大的意志眩暈。
5、only at times, the curtain of the pupils
lifts, quietly—. an image enters in,
rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
plunges into the heart and is gone.
中文對照：
只有時眼簾無聲地撩起——
一幅圖像從瞳孔浸入，
穿過神僵立的軀體
投入心靈，又最終化為烏有。
