英文抒情散文詩歌欣賞：微笑 英文抒情散文詩歌欣賞：微笑

She smiled at a sorrowful stranger,

The smile seemed to make him feel better.

He remembered past kindness of a friend

And wrote him a thankyou letter.

The friend was so pleased with the thankyou

That he left a large tip after lunch.

The waitress, surprised by the size of the tip,

Bet the whole thing on a hunch.

The next day she picked up her winnings,

And gave part to a man on the street.

The man on the street was grateful;

For two days he'd nothing to eat.

After he finished his dinner,

He left for his small dingy room.

(He didn't know at that moment

That he might be facing his doom.)

On the way he picked up a shivering puppy

And took him home to get warm.

The puppy was very grateful

To be in out of the storm.

That night the house caught on fire.

The puppy barked the alarm.

He barked till he woke the whole household

And saved everybody from harm.

One of the boys that he rescued

Grew up to be President.

All this because of a simple smile

That hadn't cost a cent.

她朝一個(gè)傷感的人微笑，

那微笑似乎讓他感覺好些。

他記起一位朋友昔日的恩情，

便寫給他一封信表示感謝。

那位朋友因?yàn)槟歉兄x而欣喜，

午飯后留了一大筆小費(fèi)。

女服務(wù)員因小費(fèi)之大而驚奇，

把這一切歸為預(yù)感的運(yùn)氣。

第二天她拿起她的所得，

將一部分給了街上的一個(gè)男人。

街上的那個(gè)男人很感激，

兩天了他什么都沒吃進(jìn)肚里。

他美美吃完一頓晚餐，

走進(jìn)他那又小又黑的家里。

(那一刻他并不知道，

他或許會(huì)遭遇厄運(yùn)。)

路上他把一只瑟瑟發(fā)抖的小狗抱起，

帶他回家暖和暖和身子。

小狗為此很是感激，

有個(gè)家能避開暴風(fēng)雨。

那夜房子失了火，

小狗汪汪報(bào)警了。

他叫得所有人都醒來了，

使大家免遭了傷害。

在他挽救的孩子中，

有一位長(zhǎng)大當(dāng)了總統(tǒng)。

所有這一切只因一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的微笑，

那微笑不用花費(fèi)分文。
