詩歌原文：
Write Your Own Life
譜寫生命的樂章
Suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid-colored pen.
假如有人送你一支筆，一支不可拆卸的單色鋼筆。
You couldn't see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don't know before you begin.
里面究竟有多少墨水看不出。或許在你試探性地寫上幾個字后它就會枯干，或許足夠用來創(chuàng)作一部影響深遠的不朽巨著(或是幾部)。而這些，在動筆前，都是無法得知的。
Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.
在這個游戲規(guī)則下，你真的永遠不會預(yù)知結(jié)果。你只能去碰運氣!事實上，這個游戲里沒有規(guī)則指定你必須要做什幺。相反，你甚至可以根本不去動用這支筆，把它扔在書架上或是抽屜里讓它的墨水干枯。
But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
但是，如果你決定要用它的話，你會用它來做什幺呢?你將怎樣來進行這個游戲呢?
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
你會不寫一個字，老是計劃來計劃去嗎?你會不會由于計劃過于宏大而來不及動筆呢?
Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?
或者你只是手里拿著筆，一頭扎進去寫，不停地寫，艱難地隨著文字洶涌的浪濤而隨波逐流?
Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?
你會小心謹慎的寫字，好象這支筆在下一個時刻就可能會干枯;還是裝做或相信這支筆能夠永遠寫下去而信手寫來呢?
You're listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith. Now, suppose someone gave you a life...
您正在收聽Faith輕松電臺，我是Faith。現(xiàn)在，假如有人給予你一支生命的筆······
