蝴蝶

A Butterfly

一只南美雨林的蝴蝶，随意扇动几下翅膀
两周后，在北半球的某个地方
可能引发一场龙卷风

一首汉诗，在南美的拉普拉塔河流域
连续用西班牙语朗诵
冰川击起千层浪

这一切，并非危言耸听
我们唯一恐惧的是恐惧本身
我们唯一缺乏的是想象本身
			

A butterfly in the rainforest of South America, flapping its wings at will
Two weeks later, somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere
Might trigger a tornado

A poem in Chinese, in the Rio de la Plata Basin of South America
Read over and over in Spanish
And a glacier is hit by a thousand waves

All this is not meant to be alarming
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself
The only thing we lack is imagination itself
