“家庭是人生的第一所學校?!蹦愕募依镉袥]有特別值得學習的人或事呢?每年的5月15日,是“世界家庭日”。在這個特殊的日子里,讓我們一起品味下面這首動聽的歌曲,并充當一回小“偵探”,挖掘一下屬于自己家庭的動人故事吧。
小挑戰(zhàn):欣賞歌曲,并參考歌詞大意,將歌詞補充完整。
He lived in the mountains away from mankind
Built something from nothing, not owing even a dime
He left so much
And when I discovered my grandfathers life
My mountains, they turned into hills that I could climb
I found a simple life
I found what Ive been missing
Right underneath my chin
And Ill keep my eyes wide open
Letting daylight in
I decided long ago that Id be more like him
Whether rain, the sun, the sleet, or
Its a simple life Id live
If I was poor, or rich, or young, or
It all hangs on a string
When my day has come I hope they say
Its the simple life I lived
I found an old box in the attic one night
His dogtags from wars that he fought packed neatly inside
He kept it all
The photos and letters revealed so much truth
The folded up flag made me cry
Cuz I never knew, heres to a simple life
Every time I feel defeat
Ill remember everything
All the words that you taught me
Theyll live on forever
And so I decided long ago
As life starts closing in
Id raise a glass and toast to all
That its a simple life you live
他生活在人煙稀少的山區(qū),
白手起家,不曾負債。
他留下了許多東西。
當我開始探索爺爺的生活,
那些高不可攀的往事變成了和緩的山坡,
讓我找到了一種返璞歸真的生活。
我找到了一直缺失的東西,
它就在我心底,
我會睜大雙眼,
讓陽光照耀進來。
我早已決定要像他一樣,
無論風雨霜雪,
我要過這種返璞歸真的生活。
貧弱不堪抑或年富力強,
這都是人生的部分。
在我生命的終點,我希望人們這樣定義:
“他這一生過著返璞歸真的生活?!?/p>
一天晚上,我在閣樓里找到了一個舊盒子,
里面整齊地收藏著他參戰(zhàn)時的姓名牌。
他把往事藏在心底,
照片和信件吐露著過去的真相,
折好的國旗令我落淚,
這些我都不曾知曉,致敬這返璞歸真的生活。
每當我遭遇失敗,
我會想起這一切,
您所有的諄諄教誨,
我將永遠銘刻于心。
因此,我早已決定,
當我行將就木之時,
我會舉杯祝福每個人:
祝愿你們過著返璞歸真的生活。
