【麦克阿瑟将军为子祷告文】
Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid;
one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
and humble and gentle in victory.
主啊!求你塑造我的儿子,
使他在软弱时,能够坚强不屈;
在惧怕时能够勇敢自持,
在诚实的失败中,毫不气馁;
在光明的胜利中,仍能保持谦逊温和。
Build me a son
whose wishes will not take the place of deeds;
a son who will know Thee... and that
to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.
主啊!恳求塑造我的儿子,
不至空有幻想而缺乏行动;
引领他认识你,同时让他知道,
认识自己,才是一切知识的基石。
Lead him, I pray,
not in the path of ease and comfort,
but under the stress and
