第6章 飛鳥集 (6)

字體:16+-

在我朦朧沉默的心裏,似乎充滿了蟋蟀的鳴唱

——那灰色的曙光之音。

The dim silence of my mind seems filled with crickets chirp

—he grey twilight of sound.

火箭啊,你對繁星的侮辱,又跟著你自己回到了地麵。

Rockets, your insult to the stars follows yourself back to the earth.

您曾經引導著我,

穿過白天擁擠不堪的旅程,來到黃昏的落寞之境。

在夜的寂靜裏,我等待著它的意義。

Thou hast led me through

my crowded travels of the day to my evening’s loneliness.

I wait for its meaning through the stillness of the night.

生命如橫越大海,我們都相聚在這小船上。

死時,我們便到了岸,各去各的世界。

This life is the crossing of a sea, where we meet in the same narrow ship.

In death we reach the shore and go to our different worlds.

真理之溪從它錯誤的河道裏流過。

The stream of truth flows through its channels of mistakes.

今天,我的心想家了,在想著那橫渡時間之海的甜蜜一刻。

My heart is homesick today for the one sweet hour across the sea of time.

鳥鳴是曙光返回大地的回聲。

The bird-song is the echo of the morning light back from the earth.

晨光問金鳳花道:“你是否不屑於和我親吻?”

Are you too proud to kiss me? the morning light asks the buttercup.

小花問道:“太陽啊,我要怎樣對你歌唱,怎樣崇拜你呢?”

太陽回答:“隻要用你簡單而純潔的沉默。”

How may I sing to thee and worship, O sun?asked the little flower.

By the simple silence of thy purity. answered the sun.

當人類是野獸時,他比野獸更糟糕。

Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.

烏雲被光明親吻時,就成了天上的花朵。

Dark clouds become heaven’s flowers when kissed by light.
