1999--2016 断崖的传说 199906xx 西跨口海边有山崖,原为一体,后一巨岩裂出,状如妇人头面向大海。余为之编写故事。 幽居山崖里,闭门数百年。待君出海归,捕得鱼虾还。 崖为居之屋,屋顶树蹁跹。为之遮风雨,为之酿清泉。 屈指百年过,夫君犹未见。海潮倒入河,往来百复千。 良人无踪影,大海快捞完。海草多病色,日下尽晒干。 山崖对空海,未见夫君还。一日开崖出,涉水大海边。 大洋波汹涌,水深颈项淹。目极海天处,日日觅孤帆。 The Legend of a Broken
Rock 199906xx At West Quaco, a huge body of a
cliff broke loose several years ago. Viewed from a certain angle on the West
Quaco Road, this part of the cliff resembles the head of a female looking out
to the sea, as if waiting for her beloved to come back from fishing. For centuries she hid herself in the cliff, confident that her loved one, who had gone out to the sea to fish salmon and catch lobsters, would come back soon. The cliff was her home, the trees its roof, fending off the storms and filtering the rain, nourishing her with clean water and giving her secure shelter. Centuries have passed, her man never returned. tides have come back into the St. John River thousands of times, but her man never returned. The sea has been emptied of her contents-- her fish grow sparse and lobsters dwindle and kelp lies in sick color, withering under the sun, but her man never returned. One day she opened the cliff and waded into the sea, 太平林海岸即景 19990630 晨雾低垂,闲涛扑岸,海礁云立如堆。一片汪洋天无际,群鸥贴浪飞。 两三人影,高岸垂钓,罔听涛碎如雷。小径蜿蜒,满地花紫,人语车声偶相随。 游兴正浓,不忍即归,坐长凳与远帆孤影默相对。 Pacific Grove Coast 19990630 Morning fog hangs low, Leisurely, waves rush onto the
shore, Rocks crowd together like clouds. Vast is the sea, its horizon melts
into the sky. Almost touching the ocean, lines of
sea gulls pass by. Totally ignoring the splashing water Two people fish a high cliff Purple blossoms border the winding
path, Traffic mixes with human voice, High is my mood for sightseeing. Hating to return I sat on a bench, facing a sail,
distant, and alone 登富丽蒙峰 19990711 富丽蒙峰在加州蒙特瑞县,乃此县最高峰,约海拔三千米,是美国国旗首次在当年墨西哥领地树起的地方。 时近黄昏上高峰,满山枯草与葱茏。云海沉沉压碧水,星旗烈烈舞罡风。 天线无语群山静,心思如烟寄昆明。落日不管人间事,银河迢迢万户灯。 (注:天线--峰上有电视转播天线一组。昆明--此峰附近地貌颇似云南山地) Climbing the Fremont Peak 19990711 At dusk we climb the towering
Fremont Peak With brown grass and green trees in
sight A sea of clouds weighs heavy over
the Bay High wind briskly dances the red,
blue and white Silent are the antenna and quiet the
hills Memories, like smoke, trail into
days bygone Oblivious of human cares, the sun
sinks down A river of stars meditates with a
river of light 下课遇雨 19990806 微雨茫茫,云烟漫漫,海湾水映天昏昏。正早秋天气,体舒气爽,盼枯草转青,欲览燕山色。想西山,叶红否?曾上鬼见愁。刻石留名,已是廿多年前事。老同学,官居京城隅,音讯全无有年矣。笑此身,不惑已过,仍是海外飘零客。人生苦短,何处是,陋室娇妻憨儿日。罢罢罢,归视一间屋,零乱被褥都是书。 After Class, It Rained 19990806 From the smoky clouds comes the hazy
rain, Sea in the bay is dark reflecting
the sky. It's early fall, the body feels
nice, the air is clear And I look forward to grass turning
green, For a scenery of the Yanshan
Mountains. Ah, yes, the Western Hills, have the
leaves turned red? I have been on top of the
Ghost-feared Peak and Inscribed our names in a rock, 20
more years ago. Now he, my school mate, is a petty
official in Beijing. No news for years of course. I laugh at myself, a man over 40,
still a drifting weed, away from home. This life is short and where is a
shabby house, a pretty wife and a na?ve son? Forget about it. Back in my room The bed, the sleeping bag and the
books, all in disorder 看万圣节鬼屋有感 19991031 学校鬼房赛丰都,积年魔怪一夜出。颤颤行尸来腙毙,幽幽鼓翼看黑蝠。 刑房血溅孤魂喊,肉宴油烹朽骨枯。堪救嘤嘤无助女,施援未敢惧祸福。 注:腙毙也者,Zombi之音译,活尸也。见电影"The
Dead Men Walking" Haunted House 19991031 More scary than those in China's
Fengdu Ghosts of many years come out
overnight With legs shaky, Zombi roams in the
street Their wings fluttering, bats hang in
dim light In the blood-smeared chamber, lonely
ghosts cry At the fleshy banquet, rotten bones
fry Pitiable are the sobbing girls on
the ground A helping hand halted, fearing the
end 题高中同村插队同学照 19991220 延寿三杰已中年,暗惊风度仍翩翩。隔洋电子传佳照,多少往事飘如烟。 混沌未谙人间事,有口无心书乱翻。离合是非对错事,他日一会皆笑谈。 Photo of High School Classmates Who
Worked in the Same Village as I Did 19991220 The three Yanshou ladies are now in
middle age Still I marvel at their composure
and elegance This photo they sent to me by email
from China Invoking past memories dissipating
like smoke once At that time I was like a child
without enlightenment Heartless, tongue untied and books
flipped in random way Such things as meeting, parting, the
right and the wrong Would be all laughingstocks should
we meet someday 看北京原单位新网页有感 20000120 天涯万里一线牵,英特网上回校园。南北大门皆依旧,东西群楼有新颜。 饭厅鱼香闻犹在,操场太极人未还。办公九楼夕阳里,可复临窗望西山? Looking at the New Website of My
Former Workplace in Beijing 20000120 One line links places tens of
thousands miles apart On Internet I visited my former
campus The south and north gates remain the
same Buildings on east and west sides
pose new faces I can still smell the fragrance of
fish at chowhall People practicing Taichi on drilling
field are still there In the setting sun can my office on
the ninth floor Allow me to look at the Western
Hills from the window?
半岛冬来雨水多,湿风润面草婆娑。乌云滚滚遮红日,白雾茫茫掩绿波。 假里无由行旅路,闲来爱对远山歌。遥寻梅雨江南落,却少心情忆旧柯。 (2019.8.25 改) Winter Rain in Monterey 20000214 In the rainy winter of Monterey
peninsula Wet wind nourishes the face and
fatten the grass The sun, hidden in the rolling
clouds, appears red The green bay lies under the cover
of white fog Though on leave, I have no reason to
travel I like to sing to distant hills in
my hours idle Seeking the plum rains in the
Yangtze Delta I however have no mood to recall my
past 今夜加州月 20000912 今夜加州月,云中只独看。人寰尘市中,赏月无空闲。 若非读旧帖,焉知有婵娟。只缘月饼香,远在旧金山。 Moon in California Today 20000912 This California moon in the clouds Is being watched by me here alone In the busy chores of the human
world I have no mood to appreciate the
moon If not for reading my old writings I’d have forgotten about the fair
lady Because the fragrance of mooncakes Is in San Francisco, far from me 为新旧千年之交作 20001231 “岂有豪情似旧时,花开花落两由之。”世事如潮来复去,往日难觅逝如斯。 世纪钟声两度起,却问大洋谁为迟?宇宙千年一沙 |
