主啊!恳求你教导我的儿子, 使他在软弱时,能够坚强不屈; 在惧怕时能够勇敢自持, 在诚实的失败中,毫不气馁; 在光明的胜利中,仍能保持谦逊温和。
恳求塑造我的儿子,
主啊!恳求你教导我的儿子,
主啊!我祈求你,
主啊!求你塑造我的儿子,
主啊!在他有了这些美德之后,
求你赐给他谦卑的心,
然后作为父亲的我,
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory. Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know Thee and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge. Lead him I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail. Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past. And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper, have not lived in vain. 作者介绍:麦克阿瑟将军(General Douglas MacArthur, 1880-1964)生于 1880 年美国堪萨司州的一个陆军军营中,他的父亲因参加南北战争曾获国会勋章,菲律宾群岛首任军事总督。1903 年麦克阿瑟以第一名姿态毕业于美国西点军校,他的毕业成绩是西点军校创办一百年来最好的。麦克阿瑟将军曾出任美国太平洋战区总司令,在二次世界大战时迫使日本全面投降,并在盟军控制的日本,担任军事总督。 |
