《先知》 《The Prophet(vintage classics)》 Vintage Gibran 翻译:刘宁(swan.eagle) The coming of the ship 由船引起 阿穆斯塔法,那个被选中的,被钟爱的人,在他特有的那天领悟,那时,他已经在奥法利斯城等待了十二年,等着上船,载他返回出生的岛屿。 在第十二年,收割月Ielool的第七天,他登上城墙外面的山岗,朝海那边眺望;他看见,船,在雾中来了。 猛然,心灵的大门打开,他欣喜若狂,飞过海洋。他紧闭眼睛,让灵魂默默祈祷。 Almustafa, the chosen and the beloved, who was a dawn unto his own day, had waited twelve years in the city of Orphalese for his ship that was to return and bear him back to the isle of his birth. And in the twelfth year, on the seventh day of Ielool, the month of reaping, he climbed the hill without the city walls and looked seaward; and he beheld his ship coming with the mist. Then the gates of his heart were flung open, and his joy flew far over the sea. And he closed his eyes and prayed in the silences of his soul. ~~~ 可是,等他从山上下来,一股悲哀从心中涌起,升起一种思想: 我将怎样去往和平而没有悲伤的地方,也不会给这个城市留下心灵创伤? 在这座城里,我历尽长长的痛苦的白天,长长的孤独的夜晚;谁能离开他的痛苦,他的孤独,而不后悔? 太多的心灵碎片,我散落在那些街道,太多的渴望中的孩子们径直走在那些山坡,我不能不负责任,没有痛地离开他们。 我抛弃这日子不是表象,而是,我在用我自己的手撕扯我的皮。 也不是我留下的一个闪念,而是,用甜甜的渴望和热切制成的一颗心啊。 But as he descended the hill, a sadness came upon him, and he thought in his heart: How shall I go in peace and without sorrow? Nay, not without a wound in the spirit shall I leave this city. Long were the days of pain I have spent within its walls, and long were the nights of aloneness; and who can depart from his pain and his aloneness without regret? Too many fragments of the spirit have I scattered in these streets, and too many are the children of my longing that walk naked among these hills, and I cannot withdraw from them without a burden and an ache. It is not a garment I cast off this day, but a skin that I tear with my own hands. Nor is it a thought I leave behind me, but a heart made sweet with hunger and with thirst. ~~~ 然而,我不能耽搁太久。 那呼唤万物的海,在向我召唤,我必须上船。 Yet I cannot tarry longer. The sea that calls all things unto her calls me, and I must embark. ...... (开始读,纪伯伦令人感动的心灵絮语!—— swan.eagle又记) |
