Living life over

如果有來生，我會少說多聽；如果有來生，我會請朋友到家裡吃飯；如果有來生，我會聽祖父嘮叨他的青年時代……，如果有來生，你會怎樣？

　　If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
　　
　　I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
　　
5 m& |& f7 U% P2 ]7 S- f　　I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
　　
) h! U' m: O3 H6 z　　I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
　　
& p/ r' t/ D. Z; ?　　I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

　　I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

　　如果有來生，我不會再堅持大熱天的開著車窗, 爾只為炫耀我梳理得油光可鑒的髮型;
　　
　　如果有來生，我會選擇燃盡那根雕了玫瑰的紅蠟燭, 而不是任由它在儲藏室裡慢慢化掉;
　　
　　如果有來生，我會跟孩子們一起躺到草地上談心, 爾不去擔心褲子會弄髒;
　　
- y4 ?- e* ]% f! m. i- H　　如果有來生，我會在真正的生活裡淚流滿面或是開懷大笑--而不是像現在一樣對著電視；
