如果我能再活一次

If I Had My Life to Live Over/如果我能再活一次I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren"t there for the day.生病的时候我就卧床休息，不会假装自己一天不工作，地球就会停止转动。I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.我要将雕成玫瑰花状的粉红蜡烛点上，而不让它在闲置中溶化。I would have eaten the popcorn in the “good” living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.我要在“讲究”的客厅里吃爆玉米花。
倘若有人在壁炉生火带出了炉灰，我不会操那么多闲心。I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.我决不会因为夏天头发刚刚梳理过、喷过发胶，就一定要把车窗玻璃摇起来。I would have cried and laughed less while watching television—and more while watching life.看电视我要少哭一点，少笑一点，看生活我要多哭一点，多笑一点。I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn"t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.我买东西不会只看它很实用，不显脏，或能保证用一辈子。
