终于传来了消息
在一百多亿年前那场大爆炸中
被冲散的同胞骨肉
已在四十四光年之外
落了户
兴奋得睡不着觉的
当然是地球上的人类
想到在那遥远的地方
可能繁殖的一群可爱的远亲
和平文明彬彬有礼
但愿他们信仰的
是同一个上帝

finally came the news
the flesh and blood scattered
during the Big Bang
might have settled another solar system
44 light-years away
the thought of having relatives
as cultured and peaceful as the human race
aroused intense excitement throughout the world
now just let us pray
they and we worship
the same God

为了温暖眼睛
白雪轻轻抱住
赤裸的树木与原野
山在看不见的远方
微微颤抖
厚实了皮毛的鹿
在空旷的林间
缓缓移动
当钟声在晚风里
静静点燃
明明灭灭的星星
天空成了教堂
肃穆而庄严

in order to warm the eyes
white snow gently embraces
the naked trees and the fields
distant mountains tremble softly
herds of deer with thickened hide
move slowly
in the vast, empty woods
in the evening wind when the toll of a bell
quietly lights up the twinkling stars
the sky becomes a cathedral
solemn and majestic
