伊瓜苏瀑布

Iguazu Falls

你必须拥有足够开阔的视野
才能够环顾绵延四千米的悬瀑
你必须拥有足够宽广的胸怀
才能够接纳这自由奔涌的激情
伊瓜苏瀑布携着南美洲酷烈的阳光
决绝地扑向天空，倾入大地
撞击和冲刷那些蒙尘的心灵

站在这里，你注定是孤独的
渺小、卑微、无助，在弥天的水雾中
仍然无法掩饰深深的敬畏
站在这里，看苍茫之水从天而降
"大海泻入深渊"
巴拉那河谷的颤栗经久不息

站在这里，将灵魂抬升到断崖的高度
看狂欢之水被峭壁撕成碎片的快感
看暴烈复归平静后的舒缓
看大地的隐忍、山河舒缓
还有那永难愈合的伤口上
开出的花朵
			

You must possess a view expansive enough
 to be able to scan the falls that stretch out for 4000 meters.
You must possess a heart open enough
to be able to accept the freely rushing passion.
The Iguazu Falls carry the sizzling sunshine of South America,
with determination, casting itself into the heavens
and pouring itself out onto the earth,
colliding, cleansing the dust-laden heart and mind.

Standing here you are doomed to be lonely,
insignificant, humble, helpless, in the mist suffusing the sky.
unable to hide deep awe.
Standing here, looking at the prodigious water cascading from the sky
"The ocean pours down into the abyss."
The shivering of Parana River Valley endures.

Standing here, elevate the soul to the cliff heights
beholding the thrill of the water of revelry being torn to shreds by precipices,
beholding the tranquility of the fierceness placated,
beholding the patient tolerance of the land,
the moving of mountains and rivers,
and the flower that bloomed on the hard-to-heal wound.
