Sarah L. Thomson用文字建築起人們心底通往Rob Gonsalves作品的幻想通道。
Imagine a day when the ordinary becomes the extraordinary...
A day when anything is possible.
《幻想有一天》在一連串的想象中拉開帷幕，告訴你每天什麽事都可能發生。
imagine a day...
...when you can dive down through branches or swim up to the sun.
幻想有一天...
...你可以潛入水中，順著樹枝遊向太陽。
imagine a day...
...when grace and daring are all we need to build a bridge.
imagine a day...
...when your wishes float on a puff of air to summon back the blue.
imagine a day...
...when your house enfolds you like a nest,
rocking gently in the autumn wind.
幻想有一天...
...你的房子象鳥窩那樣包裹著你，在秋風中輕搖。
imagine a day...
...when you forget how to fall.
imagine a day...
...when we build a moat, not to keep strangers out, but to welcome them in.
imagine a day...
...when you don't need wings to soar.
imagine a day …
...when autumn is a yellow canopy above you, a burnt orange carpet underneath,
a road you have never ridden on before
imagine a day...
...when everything you build touches the sky.
imagine a day...
...when roots drink up rivers, twigs tangle in clouds,
and a tree is a ladder between earth and air.
imagine a day...
...when you build the world around you piece by piece.
imagine a day...
...when the edge of the map is only the beginning of what we can explore.
imagine a day...
...when your sand castle can withstand even the highest waves.
imagine a day...
...when the peace of a forest and the strength of a mountain become a cathedral for your heart.
幻想有一天...
...寂靜的叢林和雄渾的山脈幻化爲你心靈的聖殿
imagine a day...
...when a book swings open on silent hinges,
and a place you've never seen before welcomes you home.
In June 2003, Simon & Schuster introduced North America and Canada to "Imagine a Night" , Gonsalves' first hardcover book featuring sixteen paintings.
Due to the success of "Imagine a Night", Simon & Schuster released a second book, "Imagine a Day" , in 2004 for which he won the 2005 Governor General's Award in the Children's Literature - Illustration category.
His book "Imagine a Place" was released in 2008.
幻想永遠說不完，白日夢讓人忙碌，夜晚自然不會閑著。
Rob Gonsalves和 Sarah L. Thomson的夢想精靈在夜色中無聲地滑行…
Imagine a Night (2003)
Imagine a night...
... when you can ride your bike right up the stairs to your bed.
幻想某個夜晚，你能騎著自行車沿著臺階直抵你的床前。
Imagine a night...
... when a farmer plays a lullaby on his fiddle,
and his field of sunflowers begins to dip and sway to the rhythm.
幻想某個夜晚，當農夫在他的田間拉起搖籃曲，田間的向日葵陶醉地隨樂曲的節奏輕舞。
Imagine a night...
... when you can't sleep, and so you jump high enough to soar over a quilt of fields and forests.
幻想某個夜晚，你無法入睡，跳到空中，穿過象棉襖般的曠野和森林。
Imagine a night...
... when snow white sheets grow crisp and cold, and someone whispers, "Follow me."
幻想某個夜晚，白雪覆蓋大地，天氣越來越冷，有人在低語：“跟我來。”
Imagine a Place(2008)
Imagine a place that makes you feel as free as a bird.
Imagine a place where getting there is worth whatever it takes.
Imagine a place that makes you feel like it's always been your destination.
Imagine a place made out of pure imagination.
imagine a place...
... where freedom is as sweet as faliing water, light as a feather welcomed into the gentle air.
imagine a place...
... where brick and mortar dig deep roots, where buds unfurl as soft as sunlight, strong as stone.
imagine a place...
... where you bend and sway, leap and land, right where a story begins.
imagine a place...
... where the sigh of surf and the whisper of waves spill from your suitcase and drift in your dreams.
