Living life over

妃子笑

如果有来生，我会少说多听；如果有来生，我会请朋友到家里吃饭；如果有来生，我会听祖父唠叨他的青年时代……，如果有来生，你会怎样？
　　
　　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 theearth 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 lifetime.
　　
　　There would have been more I love yous ... more I’m sorrys...butmostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... lookat it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
　　
　　如果有来生，我会少说多听；
　　
　　如果有来生，我会请朋友來家里吃饭, 即使我家只有皺巴巴的地毯和褪了色的沙發;
　　
　　如果有来生，我会多聽聽祖父唠叨他的青年时代……；
　　
　　如果有来生，我不會再堅持大熱天的開著車窗, 爾只為炫耀我梳理得油光可鉴的髮型;
　　
　　如果有来生，我會選擇燃盡那根雕了玫瑰的紅蠟燭, 而不是任由它在儲藏室裡慢慢化掉;
　　
　　如果有来生，我會跟孩子們一起躺到草地上談心, 爾不去擔心褲子會弄髒;
　　
　　如果有来生，我会在真正的生活里泪流满面或是开怀大笑--而不是像现在一样對著電視；
　　
　　如果有来生，我會在生病的時候选择上床休息, 爾不是忙碌得好像一天沒有我地球就會停止轉動;
　　
　　如果有来生，我不會再去買那些只是看起來實用, 耐髒和保質期長的東西;
　　
　　如果真的還有来生的話，我會向更多的人說我愛你, 說更多的對不起...最重要的是, 只要給我一個來生, 我會緊緊抓住生命的每一分鐘...看著它, 真正去認識它...活出每一分鐘的精采...永不放過我所擁有的每一分鐘
