Teacher's Prayer 教师的心愿

I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth,
To face its struggle and its strife and improve their worth.
Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow,
But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go.
To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong,
And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.
For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace,
Then, I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place.
And so I ask my guidance, God, that I may do my part,
For character and confidence and happiness of heart.

教师的心愿

我想教会学生如何去生活，
如何面对困难，完善自我。
不只是书本知识或是自然奥秘，
而是如何走好人生之旅。
学会去辨别是非，找寻真理，
从平凡的点滴中发掘美的韵律。
如果我的存在使这个世界更加绚丽，
那么我也就实现了自己的人生目的。
所以苍天作证，我已全心全意，
诠释了品格、信心和幸福的真谛。
