I thank thee that I am none of the wheels of power but
I am one with the living creatures that are crushed by it.
这意念是犀利的,不是开阔的,
它执著于每一点儿,却并不动弹。
The mind, sharp but not broad,
sticks at every point but does not move.
你的偶像消散在尘埃中,
这足以证明神的尘埃比你的偶像还伟大。
Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that
god’s dust is greater than your idol.
人类不能在他的历史中表现自我,
只能在这中间挣扎着向前。
Man does not reveal himself in his history,
he struggles up through it.
玻璃灯责备瓦灯叫他表兄。
但月亮出来时,玻璃灯却温柔一笑,叫月亮:“我亲爱的,亲爱的姐姐。”
While the glass lamp rebukes the earthen for calling it cousin,
the moon rises, and the glass lamp, with a bland smile, calls her, “My dear, dear sister.”
如海鸥与波涛相遇一般,我们邂逅了,靠近了。
海鸥飞散,波涛滚滚而逝,我们也分别了。
Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near.
The seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart.
我的白昼已经完了,我就像一只停泊在海滩上的小船,
聆听着晚潮奏起的舞曲。
My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach,
listening to the dance music of the tide in the evening
生命是上天赋予的,我们唯有献出生命,才能真正得到它。
Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.
我们最谦卑时,才最接近伟大。
We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
麻雀为孔雀担忧,因为它不得不负担着硕大的尾翎。
The sparrow is sorry for the peacock at the burden of its tail.
决不要害怕“刹那” —— 永恒之声如此歌唱着。
