芳美講堂

一首讓我感動聽了一遍又一遍的好聽歌曲，聽一聽歌曲的內容您會赫然發現這樣的情境好熟悉，因為它每天都在每個家庭上演著，尤其在教育界的我們感觸最深。然而從孩子們的每個成長階段中，你會發現國中叛逆期的孩子，最容易發生像歌曲中的

And now at last you're strong.

Now what has gotten over you.

You seem to hate your parents,too.

Do speak out your mind?

Why do you find them worng?

的情形。

CHILD 孩子 「Anak」
(Written by Freddie Aguilar)「1978，Vicor」

When you were born into this world
當你誕生到這個世上
Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
你的父母實現了一個夢想
A dream come true
一個成真的美夢
The answer to their prayers
他們所有祈禱的回報
You were to them a special child
對他們來說，你是個特別的孩子
Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
每當你微笑，就帶給他們歡樂
Each time you cried
而每當你哭泣
They're at your side to care
他們都會在你身邊照顧你

*Child, you don't know
*孩子，你不知道
You'll never know how far they'd go
你永遠不會知道他們會付出多少
To give you all their love can give
來給你所有他們可以奉獻的愛

To see you through, and God it's true
來看到你平安，而上帝，那是真的
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live
他們會為你死，如果有必要，來讓你活下去

How many seasons came and went
多少個季節來了又去了
So many years have now been spent
如今已經過了這麼多年
For time ran fast
因為時光匆匆流逝
And now at last you're strong
而今你終於已經壯大

Now what has gotten over you
可是你究竟在想什麼
You seem to hate your parents too
你還似乎憎恨著你的父母
Do speak out your mind
請大聲說出你的想法
Why do you find them wrong
為什麼你覺得他們錯了

And now your path has gone astray
如今你的道路已經偏差
Child, you ain't sure what to do or say
孩子，你不知道該怎麼辦
You're so alone
你好孤單
No friends are on your side
身邊沒有任何的朋友

And child, you now break down in tears
而孩子，你如今在哭泣中崩潰
Let them drive away your fears
讓他們趕走你的恐懼
Where must you go
你還要到哪裡去
Their arms stay open wide
他們的臂膀永遠為你敞開
