Paper Boats—to My Mother
By Bing Xin
Translated by: Xuhong Ji

I never wanted to waste any piece of paper,
I kept them one by one.
And folded them into small boats.
Then I threw them into the ocean from the ship.

Some boats were blown back into the windows,
Some were stuck on the prow, soaked by the waves,
I never lose my heart to fold them day by day.
Hoping that one boat would finally reach the place I wished to.

Oh Mother,
don't be surprised if you ever see a white tiny boat in your dream,
It was folded by your beloved daughter with tears in her eyes,
May it bring you her love and sorrow from a million miles away.

《纸船》
作者：冰心

我从不肯妄弃了一张纸，
总是留着——留着，
叠成一只一只很小的小船儿。
从舟上抛下在海里。

有的被天风吹卷到舟中的窗里，
有的被海浪打湿，沾在船头上。
我仍是不灰心地每天的叠着，
总希望有一只能流到我要它到的地方去。

母亲，倘若你梦中看见一只很小的白船儿，
不要惊讶它无端入梦。
这是你至爱的女儿含着泪叠的，
万水千山，
求它载着她的爱和悲哀归去。
