☆诗歌欣赏☆我是谁？

Who Am I我是谁By Bruce Lee李小龙

能想象功夫电影名人李小龙，酷酷地摆出招牌动作，却对你吟诗作对。这不是异想天开，据说，李小龙念大学时钟爱文学,刻苦钻研，终于打下深厚的文学功底。李小龙生前可是写下了不少佳作哦，其中具有代表性的一首就是这首创作于1969年的英文诗。话不多说，我们一起来欣赏这首诗作吧!

That is the age old question

Asked by every man

At one time or another.

这是个古老的问题,

每个人都会问,

在此时或彼刻。

Though he looks into a mirror

And recognizes his own face,

Though he knows his own name

And age and history,

Still he wonders, deep down,

Who am I?

尽管他往镜子里瞧,

认出了自己的脸,

尽管他清楚自己的姓名、

年龄和生平,

他仍深深疑惑,

我是谁?

Am I a giant among men,

Master of all I survey,

Or an ineffectualpygmy

Who clumsily blocks his own way?

Am I the self-assured gentleman

With a winning style,

The natural born leader

Who makes friends instantly,

Or a frightened heart

Tiptoeing among strangers,

Who, behind a frozen smile, trembles

Like a little boy lost in a dark forest?

Most of us yearn to be one,

But fear we are the other.

我是人中豪杰?

样样皆能?

抑或卑微无能之辈,

笨拙愚鲁,自堵去路?

我是个自信的绅士,

一派赢家风范?

天生的领导者,

和他人一拍即合,朋友满天下?

或是有着一颗惊恐的心,

在陌生的人群中小心行走,

躲在僵硬的笑脸背后颤抖,

像迷失在黑暗森林里的小男孩?

我们中的大多数人渴望成功,

却又惧怕失败。

Yet we can be.

Those who cultivate

Their natural instincts,

Who set their sights

On the good, the admirable, the excellent,

And believe they can achieve it

Will find their confidence rewarded

And in the process,

They discover the true identity

Of him who looks back from the mirror.

然而,我们可以成功。

那些发展

自身天性的人,

他们将视线

投向美善、可敬、卓越的一切,

并相信自己可以成功,

他们的信心将获得回报。

而在此过程中,

当他们回望镜中,他们

发觉了自己的真实身份。
