六千年的拥抱
    ── 一对意大利发掘的骸骨

The Eternal Embrace
    ── A pair of skeletons discovered at Southern Italy

时间在他們的拥抱里 已消失了意义 六千年,只是昨天 当初是这般睡姿 现在还是 白骨相拥 还有什么、在这个世间 更使人感动? 他们拥抱在传说以前 历史之前,也许 那时还没有文字 没有适当的语言 就是这样一个拥姿 使人黯然拭泪 使人低头沉思 他们的肢体语言 胜过、将爱说上一千遍 一首无言的杰作 不需要任何解说 在这种至死不渝之前 莎士比亚变为饶舌 我的更加腼腆

 

Since they embraced together Time has lost its meaning. Six thousand years ago, like yesterday, They poised with the same position Then and now. Embraced with bare skeletons; Has anything in this world Which is more touching? They embraced before any legend Before any history, and perhaps, then No written signs were available Neither was proper speech. This un-tampered embrace Makes us somberly shed tears, And sink into our deep thinking. Their body language is more expressive Than bidding Love for a thousand times. A masterpiece of wordless Does not need any interpretation. In front of this scene of eternal love Shakespeare becomes garrulous And mine is bashfully worthless.

The Beauty of Nature

我常想捕捉一种天然的美 鸢飞鱼跃或涧水淙淙 用文字捉到后总觉得乏味 像流萤纳入了瓶中

 

I always want to catch the beauty of nature: Eagles' soaring, fish's surfing, or creeks' singing; When it is caught by words I find no pleasure, But, like fireflies captured in a bottle, disappointing.
