“所有的大人都曾经是小孩，

虽然只有少数的人记得。”

今天是儿童节，

挑选了几句应景的文字分享给你，

祝仍藏着一颗童心的你节日快乐。

All adults were once children,

though only a few remember.

Happy Children’s Day! Here are a few fitting words to share with you.

Wishing you a joyful holiday while still keeping a childlike heart.

01

五岁的时候，妈妈告诉我快乐是人生的关键。

上学以后他们问我长大后的志愿和梦想是什么？

我写下“快乐”。他们说我没搞清楚题目，

我告诉他们，是他们没搞清楚人生。

——列侬

When I was five, my mother told me that happiness is the key to life.

When I went to school, they asked me what my aspirations and dreams were.

I wrote down “happiness.”

They said I didn’t understand the assignment,

and I told them they didn’t understand life.

– Lennon

02

在有益健康的生活纪律之外，对待自己也要温柔一点。

你只不过是宇宙的孩子，与植物，星辰没有两样。

——麦克斯·埃尔曼

Apart from maintaining a healthy lifestyle,

we should also be gentle with ourselves.

You are just a child of the universe,

no less than the trees and the stars.

– Max Ehrmann

03

你不一定非得长成玫瑰。

你乐意的话，做茉莉，做雏菊，

做无名小花，做千千万万。

You don’t have to necessarily grow up as a rose.

If you’re willing, be a jasmine, be a daisy,

be an unknown flower, be one in a million.

04

去兜风，去浪费时间，去做你想做的事情，

在自己的时区里，不急不赶，不卑不亢，

找到那只蜗牛，慢慢走，

一路回到小时候。

——《爸爸去哪儿》

Go for a ride, waste time, do what you want to do.

Take it easy in your own time zone, neither too fast nor too slow,

neither humble nor arrogant.

Find that snail and walk slowly all the way back to childhood.

05

人长大后，就忘记怎么飞了。

只有快乐、天真、没心没肺的人才会飞。

——巴里

After growing up, people forget how to fly.

Only those who are happy, innocent, and carefree can fly.

06

懂事并不是好小孩的标准，

而是懒大人的标准。

Being sensible is not the standard of being a good child,

but the standard of lazy adults.

07

人类之所以有进步，

主要原因是下一代不怎么听上一代的话。

——倪匡

One of the main reasons why human beings make progress is that the next generation does not listen to the previous generation very much.

08

“你长大后想当什么？”

“小孩”

What do you want to be when you grow up?

“A kid”

09

在风雨中做个大人，

在阳光下做个孩子。

Be an adult in the wind and rain,

be a child in the sunshine.

10

去成为厉害的大人和更可爱的小孩。

Become a powerful adult and a cuter child.

11

希望你的可爱，

可以治愈一切不可爱。

I hope your cuteness can cure all that is not cute.

12

愿我们一觉醒来，阳光照耀桌前，

课本堆在一边，老师正滔滔不绝，

同桌的你依旧青春年少。

——汤臣一品

May we wake up to sunshine shining on the table,

with textbooks piled aside and the teacher still lecturing,

and you, my desk mate,

still young and full of vitality.
