第3章 飛鳥集 (3)

and I feel the freedom of passing away.

我靈魂的憂傷是新娘的麵紗,

等候著在午夜被掀開。

The sadness of my soul is her bride’ s veil.

It waits to be lifted in the night.

死之烙印將價值賦予生之硬幣,

使其可以用生命來購買那些真正寶貴的東西。

Death’s stamp gives value to the coin of life;

making it possible to buy with life what is truly precious.

白雲謙遜地站在天之一隅。

晨光冠之以輝煌。

The cloud stood humbly in a corner of the sky.

The morning crowned it with splendour.

泥土飽受侮辱,卻以花朵作為回報。

The dust receives insult and in return offers her flowers.

盡管走過去,不必為了采集花朵而徘徊,

因為美麗的花兒會一路開放。

Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on,

for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.

根是地下的枝。

枝是空中的根。

Roots are the branches down in the earth.

Branches are roots in the air.

逝去了的夏之曲,飄搖在秋間,

尋求它舊日的巢。

The music of the far-away summer flutters around the autumn seeking its former nest.

不要把你口袋裏的功績借給你的朋友,這會侮辱他。

Do not insult your friend by lending him merits from your own pocket.

那在無名之日裏的感觸,牽係我心,

宛如綠色的苔蘚,纏繞著老樹。

The touch of the nameless days clings to my heart

like mosses round the old tree.

回聲譏笑她的原聲,借以證明她是原聲。

The echo mocks her origin to prove she is the original.

當事業有成者自吹得到了上帝的特別恩寵時,上帝卻感到羞恥。

God is ashamed when the prosperous boasts of his special favour.

我將影子投射在前方的路上,

因為我有一盞還沒有燃亮的燈。
