第3章 Life Recollections生命感怀(1)

Storm

As if the earth

Stopped,

The air husheshush v.安静 n.安静.

You feel the heat

Rising

Out of fields,

Out of asphaltasphalt n.沥青.

And then a

Single leaf

Turns

Its silver back.

Air claps air

And all the grasses

Lie down.

Do not stand

Beneath this tree

If you must be brave,

Then for one second

Only

Lift your face

To the darkest of

Blues

And feel the Sea,

The cool

Faraway Sea,

Surgingsurging 浪涌, 冲击

Windwhirled

Through the

Trees.

暴风

好像大地

停下了,

空气寂静下来。

你感到热量

在升腾

来自于田野,

来自于沥青。

随即

一片孤叶

转动

它银色的背面。

空气拍着空气

所有的草

倒下。

在这棵树下

不要站立。

如果你足够勇敢

那么就只用

一秒钟

抬起你的头

对着蓝色的最暗处

感受大海,

凉凉的

远处的大海,

波涛汹涌

风在旋转

在树丛中

穿过。

Birthday

Age is a quality of mind

If you have left your dreams behind

If hope is lost

If love you hold

No matter how the years go by

No matter how the birthdays fly

You are not old

生日感怀

年龄本是精神品质的体现

如果抛却梦想

丧失希望

扑灭奋斗的火焰

不再向前看

你便未老先衰

倘若追求生活的真善美

对未来满腔热忱

爱心长存

无论时光如何流逝

过了多少生日

你则年轻永远

爱慕你的美貌,出于假意或者真心

只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,

躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁,

凄然低语,爱为何消逝,

它漫步走上高高山峦,

将脸庞隐没在了群星间。
