LESSON 6 LEND A HAND 伸出一只手

1.Lend a hand to one another

In the daily toil of life;

When we meet a weaker brother,

Let us help him in the strife.

There is none so rich but may,

In his turn, be forced to borrow;

And the poor man’s lot today,

May become our own tomorrow.

2.Lend a hand to one another:

When malicious tongues have thrown

Dark suspicion on your brother,

Be not prompt to cast a stone.

There is none so good but may

Run adrift in shame and sorrow,

And the good man of today,

May become the bad tomorrow.

3.Lend a hand to one another:

In the race for Honor’s crown;

Should it fall upon your brother.

Let not envy tear it down.

Lend a hand to all, we pray,

In their sunshine or their sorrow;

And the prize they’ve won today,

May become our own tomorrow.

1.在艱難的日子里，

請伸手相互幫助；

當遇到可憐的人，

我們要幫他一把。

不圖回報，

不是被迫救助；

他今天的遭遇，

明天也許會成為我們的命運。

2.請伸手相互幫助：

當惡意的言語，

如臟水潑向他人，

不要雪上加霜。

否則不但無益，

還會帶來恥辱和悲傷；

今天的好人，

明天就可能變成壞人。

3.請伸手相互幫助：

當榮耀的光環，

落在他人的頭上，

不要嫉妒地將它撕下。

我們祈禱，大家伸手相互幫助，

無論是歡樂還是悲傷；

今天他們獲得的獎勵，

明天就可能成為我們的榮耀。
