背景资料---诗歌欣赏

Friendship

May our friendship be not like the tides,

Tides rise, tides fall,

May it be like the ocean,

Whoseface may show smile, frown or anger,

But whose heart is at bottom unchanging.

May our frienfship be not like the flowers,

Flowers bloom, flowers fade.

May it be like grass and trees,

But their roots live long.

May our frienfship be not like the moon,

The moon waxes, it also wanes.

May it be like the stars,

They appear or do not appear in the sky,

But always exist with mysterious light.

友谊

或许我们的友情不似潮汐，

潮起还有潮落。

或许它更像那大海，

海面时而现出微笑，时而阴霾，时而暴怒，

可它的心在深深的海底，却始终如一。

或许我们的友情不似花朵，

花开还有花榭。

或许它更像那青草和树木，

叶儿会凋零，

可它们的根却有长久的生命。

或许我们的友情不似月亮，

月有阴晴圆缺。

或许它更像那繁星，

它们在夜空里时现时隐，

可它们那神秘的光芒却亘古永存。
