The Light of a Bright Day

　　更光明的未來(lái)

　　I choose for my subject faith wrought into life, apart from creed or dogma. By faith I mean a vision of good one cherishes and the enthusiasm that pushes one to seek its fulfillment regardless of obstacles. Faith is a dynamic power that breaks the chain of routine and gives a new, fine turn to old commonplaces. Faith reinvigorates the will, enriches the affections and awakens a sense of creativeness.

　　Active faith knows no fear, and it is a safeguard to me against cynicism and despair.

　　我選擇生活的信念作為主題，而不是信條或教義。我認(rèn)為，信念是一個(gè)人所珍愛(ài)的美好想象，是鼓勵(lì)某人不顧艱難實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想的熱情。信念是一種充滿活力的力量，它能打破常規(guī)的束縛，讓平凡陳舊的事物煥然一新。信念能使人的意志再次振作，使人的情感更為豐富，并能喚醒人的創(chuàng)造力。

　　積極的信念是無(wú)畏的，它守護(hù)著我遠(yuǎn)離憤世嫉俗和絕望的境地。

　　After all, faith is not one thing or two or three things; it is an indivisible totality of beliefs that inspire me. Belief in God as infinite good will and all-seeing Wisdom whose everlasting arms sustain me walking on the sea of life.

　　Trust in my fellow men, wonder at their fundamental goodness and confidence that after this night of sorrow and oppression they will rise up strong and beautiful in the glory of morning. Reverence for the beauty an preciousness of the earth, and a sense of responsibility to do what I can to make it a habitation of health and plenty for all men.

　　除此之外，信念并非一種或兩三種具體的事物，而是鼓舞著我所有信仰的整體，是無(wú)法分割的。我相信，當(dāng)我在生命的海洋中前行時(shí)，是擁有無(wú)限善意和無(wú)盡的智慧的上帝，用他永恒的臂膀?yàn)槲抑蔚摹?/p>

　　我相信我的同伴，驚奇于他們善良的天性與信念。他們相信，在經(jīng)歷了悲傷與壓迫的漫漫長(zhǎng)夜后，他們將會(huì)在清晨的美麗光影中堅(jiān)強(qiáng)地重新站起來(lái)。我崇敬著地球上一切美麗與珍貴的事物，感覺(jué)到自己有責(zé)任為全人類能擁有一個(gè)健康而富饒的家園盡心盡力。
