没有他，不如不读《飞鸟集》

1

有一次，我们梦见大家都是不相识的。

我们醒了，却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。

Once we dreamt that we were strangers.

We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.

‍‍‍‍‍我不能‍‍选择那最好的。‍

‍‍‍是那最好的选择我。

I cannot choose the best.

The best chooses me.

你微微地笑着，不同我说什么话。

而我觉得，为了这个，我已等待得久了。

You smiled and talked to me of nothing

and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.

使生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

根是地下的枝。枝是空中的根。

Roots are the branches down in the earth.

Branches are roots in the air.

弓在箭要射出之前，低声对箭说道：“你的自由就是我的自由。”

The bow whispers to the arrow before it speeds forth——Your freedoom is mine.

我们的生命就似渡过一个大海，我们都相聚在这个狭小的舟中。

死时，我们便到了岸，各往各的世界去了。

This life is the crossing of a sea, where we meet in the same narrow ship.

In death we reach the shore ‍and go to ‍our different worlds.

夜的沉默，如一个深深的灯盏，银河便是它燃着的灯光。

The night's silence, like a deep lamp,

is burning with the light of its milk way.
