小学英语作文：老师的心愿(Teacher's Prayer)

 　　原文:

　　老师的心愿究竟是什么呢？

　　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！

　　译文:

　　teacher's prayer

　　i want to teach my students how to live this life on earth,

　　to face its struggle and its strife¹ 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 eternal² 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 grace³,

　　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.
