布鲁克林有棵树1

Let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost “让我生命中的每个小时、每一分钟都过得充充实实吧。让我喜、让我忧、让我冷、让我暖、让我饿……也让我饱。衣衫褴褛也好，光鲜也好。让我真诚也好，狡诈也好。诚实也好，说谎也好。让人敬仰也好，罪大恶极也好。无论如何，让我的每一分钟都充实、都蒙福吧。当我睡着的时候，也让我一直做着梦，不要让我虚度人生的每一分钟。” ——《布鲁克林有棵树》
