冬之痕 |
 |
Winter Trace
|
多少天了
这潭水 这草地
被层层积雪覆盖
厚得无人步入
几株塔松之间
三只鹿
在冰莹的雪上
印下新鲜 密齐的足迹
和它们冬日的心思……
|
|
For many days
this pond and lawn have been
coated by accumulating snow
Layers and layers
too thick to step in
Only wind touches them
and three deers
among pine trees
place new and
tidy footprints
on the white land
with their winter minds…

雪,和垂柳 |
 |
Snow and Willows
|
伴垂柳于湖畔伫立
大雪在四周静静飘落
哪儿去了,那碧澄的云
活泼的波纹
还有熟悉的山坡,航标灯
它们如何突然消失
惟见四处茫茫的纯白
是奇迹吗?
这些轻盈,柔软的微粒
这些纤小,苍白的微粒
你几乎无法感觉它们
然而它们以整体和韧力
占有时间和距离
它们传播纯净
将其洒向每个角落,每寸土地
和老柳树每株黄色的枝叶
哦,此刻无需诉说
只是交付出自己
更柔软 更谦恭 和绝对的静肃
如那垂柳,沉入肃穆的洁白
等待浸礼后的,一个新生

Standing beside a willow by the lake bank
Snow soundlessly falling down
Where are the azure clouds, vivid waves
And the familiar hills, the lighthouse?
Are they disappearing for some reasons?
Look around, a white universe
Is it a miracle?
Those light, lithe flecks
Those tiny, pale flecks
You can not even feel each one of them
But their entirety and persistency
Is taking away time and distance
They bring purity, and preach it
Spread equally out to every corner, every inch of soil
And every yellow twig of the old willow.
Oh, say nothing at this moment
But surrender yourself
Be softer, more humble, and more absolutely silent
Like the willow, simply immersed in fresh white
Waiting for baptism, a rebirth

早晨的惊喜 |

Morning Surprise
|
这是一个清静的早晨
带着快意我拉开窗帘
屋外的草地铺满新雪
甚至不见一片叶子在上面
可是, 再仔细地看
那有一行别致的印迹
在窗下弯弯地穿绕
又纤纤地迂折回树林
噢, 一定是你!
那只孤单的母鹿
在昨夜或黎明再次造访了我
带来你新鲜的消息和问候
梅花朵朵绽放于雪地
“神意从来与世存在”
这印迹可是冬天的一个神喻?
瞬然, 一种感觉在内心狂跳
快得有如奔跃的鹿儿

It was a quiet morning
I drew off curtain with joy
Outside, grass carpeted by pure white
not even a leaf on it
But look carefully,
see a line of trace there ?
Winding through to my window
then a delicate zigzag up to the bushes …
Oh, it must be you, the single doe
Who visited me at night or this dawn
brought me your fresh message
cold plums blossoming on the snow
"there is always something divine"
might the trace be an oracle of winter sage?
Suddenly, a feeling inside me
beats as brisk as a jumping deer.

一月的夜 |
 |
January Night
|
又见 一月的夜
雪和冰封锁了峡谷
冰柱累累
瀑布停止了吼叫
只有一条细窄的水流
一个冷空中缓慢的喘息
又见 一轮满月当空
比白色幽谷
更清冷,更深邃
冰的灵魂
旷古的苦行者
固守着孤寂
沉思着冬夜
|
|
Again, the January night
Snow and ice blockade the gorge cliffs
Laden with icicles and icicles
The waterfall stopped roaring
Left only a steam narrow down
A slow breath in cold air
Again, the full moon in the sky
Colder, clearer and deeper
Than the white glen
Glacial Stoic
Grimly guards loneliness
Pondering in the winter night
