If you can fill the unforgiving minute 如果你花60秒进行短程跑
With 60 seconds worth of distance run
填满那不可饶恕的一分钟
Yours is the Earth and everything is in it
你就可以拥有一个世界,这个世界的一切都是你的
And Which is more
更重要的是
You will be a man my son
你会成为一个顶天立地的人 孩子
仍旧是献丑了(加了点bgm)
小记:
偶然间看到这首小短文
内容极其生动形象,父亲对孩子谆谆教诲的形象跃然纸上
通篇的排比大概是最出彩的部分
用“如果”一词引出对孩子所有的期望
另外,这首短文还刻在了迈克尔杰克逊的墓碑上
至于配图,又是自己随便扯过来的,摄于澳大利亚墨尔本的
某个街头😊
傍晚还没暗淡的天空,小花店门口点亮橘色的灯盏
愿我们
都能成为父母眼中,顶天立地的人❤️
