EF睡前故事感恩回归--- Oh, the places you will go!
发布时间：2017-05-17-
Oh, the Places You’ll Go! 《你要去的地方！》是美国20世纪最受欢迎的儿童文学作家和插图画家 Dr. Seuss 苏斯博士的最后一部作品。
绘本讲述的是刚刚结束一种生活、即将开始另一种生活的朋友们所要面临的问题，他们可能会遭遇失败或忍受孤独，但是未来充满无限可能，挫折、等待、孤独、迷茫都是他们需要克服的障碍。
有人说，这是一本非常适合高中和大学毕业生的图画书，但实际上，该书以色彩斑澜的插图和奇妙的语言使得它更适合那些在新环境中开始新生活的人来读，例如：幼儿园里的小孩、毕业生、新婚夫妇、新员工等。苏斯博士的作品不仅仅是写给孩子的，而是写给所有人的。
Oh, the places you will go!

With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet.

You’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
聪明如你，怎么会走上那些岔路呢？
And you may not find any you want to go down.
也许你可能找不到你想去的地方。
In that case, of course, You’ll head straight out of town.
如果是这样，你会立马离城再寻去处。
It’s opener there,in the wide open air.
（城外）旷野大漠，更尽开阔。
Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you.

Except when you don’t.

that bang-ups
吃闭门羹
and hang-ups
遇阻受碍
can happen to you.
你可能也会如此。
You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly perch.
你也许会被困卡在荆棘高处。
And your gang will fly on.
同伴都继续飞翔,
You’ll be left in a lurch.
你却给丢下晃荡愁苦。
You’ll come down from the lurch with an unpleasant bump.
你也许会从那摇摇欲坠的枝头狼狈跌撞而下,
And the chances are, then, that you’ll be in a slump.
结果,很可能, 你会跌入深渊悬崖。
And when you’re in a slump, you’re not in for much fun.

Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
你会来到掩隐的小路,
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they’re darked.

A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!

Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
你敢留在外面?你敢走进里面?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And if you go in, should you turn left or right…
假若真走进去,该转左还是转右……
or right and three quarters? Or maybe, not quite?
还是右转四分三?或者,也许,不够?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind？
还是转回去,从后潜入?
Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find,
恐怕即使满心决意,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.
你也觉得,要下决心也不容易。
You can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wriggled roads at a break-necking pace
你也许会一时迷乱, 拔腿沿曲折的长路亡命狂奔,
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed,
熬折奔跑千里, 经过遍野光怪陆离,
I fear, toward a most useless place.
我担心,你跑向的是那最无用之地。
