陪伴許多孩子成長的小熊維尼,相信大家都耳熟能詳。這隻卡通熊有時會如同大人般,說出一些有哲理的話,也許正因為他們擁有那些成人沒有的純真,所以深受大小朋友喜愛。

作者艾倫‧亞歷山大‧米爾恩(1882~1956年)以兒童故事書為主軸,創造出了小熊維尼。為了讓大家能用不同的角度看待人生,這裡整理了維尼語錄,關於友誼、勇氣及生命中的各種挑戰,希望能讓您有所收穫。

"A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside. " – Winnie-the-Pooh

小熊維尼:「沒有朋友,就像是罐子裡毫無蜂蜜一樣,令人沮喪。」

" What day is it ? "

" It's today, " squeaked Piglet.

" My favorite day, "  said Pooh.

「今天日什麼日子呢?」小熊維尼問。

「是今天!」小豬回答。

「我最愛的日子就是今天。」小熊維尼說。

" A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. " – Winnie-the-Pooh

小熊維尼:「多給別人一些體諒、多為別人考慮一點,那一切將截然不同。」

" Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again? " – Winnie-the-Pooh

小熊維尼:「你是否曾停下腳步思考,卻忘了重新開始?」

" If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you. " – Winnie-the-Pooh

小熊維尼:「假如明天我們不能在一起,那我希望你能永遠記得:你比自己所想像的更勇敢,比你所表現的更堅強,比所認為的更聰慧。另外最重要的是,即使我們不得不分離,我依然與你同在。」

" I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."

兔子說:「我看不出這意義所在。」

小熊維尼謙虛地說:「是沒有。」

他接著說:「但當我開始的時候意義就存在了,在路程中總會發生。」

"Poetry and hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is go where they can find you. "– Winnie-the-Pooh

小熊維尼:「詩歌和蜜蜂聲不是你想找就可以找到的,你所能做的就是到它們能發現你的地方。」

"Love is taking a few steps backward maybe even more… to give way to the happiness of the person you love."– Winnie-the-Pooh

小熊維尼:「愛是退讓了幾步甚至更多,為了讓那些我們愛的人快樂。」

"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself ?"

"What's for breakfast ? " said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet ?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today ? " said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.

小豬問:「維尼,當你早上起床時,想的第一件事情是什麼?」

小熊維尼回答:「早餐要吃什麼好呢。」

小熊維尼反問:「那你呢?」

小豬說:「我會想,不知道今天會發生什麼讓人興奮的事呢?」

小熊維尼若有所思的點頭,他說,「這是同樣一件事。」

"How do you spell “love”?" – Piglet

"You don't spell it…you feel it."– Pooh

小豬問:「你怎麼拼寫『愛』呢?」

小熊維尼回答:「不是用拼,而是用感覺。」◇
