And a time to every purpose under heaven

When I heard this song today, which made me move, and like tell me something. Exactly, there is a time for everything around you. So whatever happened to you everytime, positive? negative? Face it and Enjoy it with a common sence.





Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)
The Byrds


To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

对于任何事物(-转变,转变,转变)
都有对应的季节(-转变,转变,转变)
天下的任何事情,都有对应的时间。

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

有出生时,有死亡时
有种植时,有收割时
有杀戮时,有治愈时
有欢笑时,有流泪时

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

对于任何事物(-转变,转变,转变)
都有对应的季节(-转变,转变,转变)
天下的任何事情,都有对应的时间。

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

有建立时,有摧毁时
有跳舞时,有忧伤时
有抛弃石头时
有收聚石头时

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

对于任何事物(-转变,转变,转变)
都有对应的季节(-转变,转变,转变)
天下的任何事情,都有对应的时间。

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

有热爱时,有痛恨时
有战争时,有和平时
有可能拥抱时
有避免拥抱时

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

对于任何事物(-转变,转变,转变)
都有对应的季节(-转变,转变,转变)
天下的任何事情,都有对应的时间。

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!

有收获时,有损失时
有撕碎时,有缝合时
有热爱时,有痛恨时
有和平时,我敢说不会太迟了。

The Byrds乐队的一首经典之作,曾经作为插曲出现在电影《阿甘正传》当中,歌名Turn! Turn! Turn!(To Everything There Is A Season)。To everything there is a season是宾,而turn turn turn是主,正如"诸行无常"中,"无常"为主一般。这首歌,说的也正是"诸行无常"的道理,非常切合电影的主题,无论是阿甘的一生,还是大背景的美国的那几十年,不都是在turn turn turn吗?
