如果有來生（英漢對照）

 
If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
如果我的生命有輪回......我會寡言多聞。

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
我會邀請朋友們來家裏夜宵，即使這樣會弄髒了地毯，使沙發的顏色淡去也再所不惜。

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
我會抽出時間來聽祖父漫談他的青澀年華。

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up onasummer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
我再不會在那個炎熱的夏天也執意搖起車窗，因為我那剛剛染了色而被取笑的頭發。

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
我會將雕刻成玫瑰模樣的粉色蠟燭在它即將熔化在記憶之前點燃。

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
我會和我的孩子們圍坐在青青草坪，而再不去管它們會被壓損或是怎樣。

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television-and more while watching life.
我會把我的歡笑和淚水更多的獻給生活而不是電視劇。

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there fortheday.
我會在自己生病是時候躺在床上休息，而不是重複著地球沒有我就難以運轉的“謊言”。

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical,would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
我將不會因為某件事情既成事實就接受相信，也將不會顯露墮落並保證一生都不會。

There would have been more I love yous ... more I'm sorrys...but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
來生將會有更多的“我愛你”...... 更多的“對不起”...... 而更重要的是，我將會在來生做一些此生不曾有過的嚐試，我會抓住每時每刻...... 審視生命......真正的去了解生命......感受生命......永不放棄。
