Do you fear the wind?

　　Do you fear the force of the wind,
　　The slash of th e rain?
　　Go face them and fight them,
　　Be savage again.
　　Go hungry and cold like the wolf,
　　Go wade like the crane;
　　The palms of your hands will thicken,
　　The skin of your cheeks will tan,
　　You'll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,
　　But you'll walk like a man!

　　About the poet: Hamlin Garland (1860-1940) was born in Wisconsin, U.S.A. He was the author of Main-Travelle d Roads and other collections of short stories and seve ral novels. He chose the hardships of the farmer for th e subject of his stories.

　　你怕风吗？

　　你怕风吹雨打吗？
　　那你就勇敢地迎上去与它拼搏，
　　重新过野蛮人的生活吧！
　　象狼那样挨饿受冻，
　　象 鹤那样涉水过河；
　　你的手掌会变粗，
　　你的面颊会晒红，
　　你会衣衫褴褛，浑身黝黑，疲惫不堪，
　　但那时你走起 路来，
　　就会象一个顶天立地的真正男子汉！
