A Prayer in Spring《春天的祈祷》

作者：Robert Frost 

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;

赐予我们繁花映照心扉的喜悦；

And give us not to think so far away

莫让心神飘向遥远的未来，

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

如那未可知的收成般虚无；请让我们停留，

All simply in the springing of the year.

在这万物萌发的春天。

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,

赐予我们徜徉雪白果园的欢愉，

Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

日光下无可比拟，夜色中恍若幽光；

And make us happy in the happy bees,

让我们在蜜蜂的忙碌中感受欢喜，

The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

看它们成群飞舞，环绕繁茂的树梢嬉戏。

And make us happy in the darting bird

让那翩然掠过的飞鸟带来喜悦，

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

在蜂鸣之上，忽听燕语莺声，

The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,

似流星疾掠，喙若细针穿行风间，

And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.

在半空中驻足，轻点花蕾，刹那不变。

For this is love and nothing else is love,

这便是爱，除此之外皆非真爱，

To sanctify to what far ends we move,

它让我们奔赴的远方变得神圣，

Let us not hurry to make sure of love,

莫急于探寻爱的真相，

But rather be glad of what we have.

只需欢喜此刻，珍惜所享。

The Trees 《树》

作者：Philip Larkin 菲利普·拉金

The trees are coming into leaf

树木开始抽出新叶，

Like something almost being said ;

仿佛低语着尚未言明的心声；

The recent buds relax and spread,

初芽舒展绽放，

Their greenness is a kind of grief.

它们的嫩绿透着一丝忧伤。

Is it that they are born again,

难道它们真的在重获新生，

And we grow old? No, they die too,

而我们却在衰老？不，它们也会枯萎，

Their yearly trick of looking new

只是年复一年地看似年轻，

Is written down in rings of grain.

但岁月早已刻进年轮之中。

Yet still the unresting castles thresh

然而，那不知疲倦的绿树城堡，

In fullgrown thickness every May.

每年五月，依旧枝繁叶茂。

Last year is dead, they seem to say,

“去年已逝，”它们仿佛低语，

Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

重新开始吧，重新开始，重新开始。

The Rainy Day

《雨天》

作者：朗费罗，翻译：永清，ChatGPT

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary；

寒冷的天，阴暗又难熬；

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

雨声不断，风也从未停息；

The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,

藤蔓依旧攀附着倾颓的墙，

But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

每一阵风起，枯叶纷纷凋零，

And the day is dark and dreary.

这一天，阴暗又难熬。

My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;

And the days are dark and dreary.
这些日子，阴暗又难熬。

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;

悲伤的心，冷静下来，莫再怨叹；

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

乌云背后，阳光仍在闪烁；

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

你的命运不过是世人共有的经历，

Into each life some rain must fall,

人的一生总要下些雨，

Some days must be dark and dreary.

总有些日子阴暗又难熬。

主播：雲昊，潇雨，永清

录制地点：山东，湖南，云南

场景一：旭仔，苏丽珍，一分钟的朋友。

雲昊：

一九六零年四月十六号下午三点之前的一分钟你跟我在一起。因为你我会记得这一分钟。由现在开始我们就是一分钟的朋友。这是一个事实，你改变不了，因为已经过去了。我明天会再来。

April 16, 1960, one minute before 3 p.m., you were with me. Because of you, I’ll remember that minute. From now on, we are one-minute friends. This is a fact you cannot deny because it has already happened. I will come again tomorrow.

潇雨：

我不知道他有没有因为我而记住那一分钟，但我一直都记住这个人。之后他真的每天都来，我们就从一分钟的朋友变成两分钟的朋友，没多久，我们每天至少见一个小时。

I don’t know if he remembered that minute because of me, but I’ve always remembered him. After that, he really came every day, and we went from being one-minute friends to two-minute friends. Before long, we were spending at least an hour together every day.

场景二：苏丽珍和过去和解。

潇雨：

我以前以为一分钟很快就会过去，其实是可以很长的。有一天有个人指着手表跟我说，他说会因为那一分钟而永远记住我，那时候我觉得很动听...但现在我看着时钟，我就告诉自己，我要从这一分钟开始忘掉这个人。

I used to think one minute would pass very soon. In fact, it can last very long. One day, a man pointed to his watch and told me that he would always remember me because of that one minute. At that time, I was deeply touched. But now when I look at the clock, I tell myself that I will forget this person from this minute on.

场景三：一年后，菲律宾，火车上，超仔和旭仔的对话。

永清：去年四月十六号下午三点你在做什么？

What were you doing at 3 p.m. on April 16 last year?

雲昊：她告诉你了

She told you the story. 

永清：我还以为你记不住了。

I thought you couldn’t remember. 

雲昊：要记得的我永远都会记得。　

What I want to remember, I will remember forever.

场景四：旭仔找到母亲的家，但母亲却不愿意见旭仔，旭仔内心独白。

雲昊：

1961年4月12号，我终于来到我自己妈妈的家里，但她不肯见我。那些工人说她已经不在这里。当我离开这个家的时候，我知道我身后有一双眼睛看着我。但我一定不会回头。我只不过想看看她，看看她的样子。既然她不给我机会。我也不会给她这个机会。

April 12, 1961, I finally came to my mother's house, but she refused to see me.

The workers said she was no longer there. As I left the house, I knew there was a pair of eyes watching me from behind, but I was determined not to look back.I just wanted to see her, to know what she looks like. Since she wouldn’t give me the chance, I certainly wouldn’t give her one either.

我听人家说世界上有一种鸟是没有脚的。它只能一直地飞呀飞。飞累了便在风中睡觉。这种鸟一辈子只能落地一次。那一次就是它死的时候。

I heard someone say that there is a kind of bird in this world that has no feet. It can only keep flying and flying, and when it gets tired, it sleeps in the wind. This bird can only land on the ground once in its life, and that one time is when it dies.

录制地点：德国

《负冬日》

Basking in Winter Sun

作者：白居易，翻译：永清

杲杲冬日出，照我屋南隅。

The winter sun ascends bright, 

Illuminating the south corner of my room light.

负暄闭目坐，和气生肌肤。

Eyes closed, I bask in its warm embrace,

Sunshine seeps into my skin with gentleness. 

初似饮醇醪，又如蛰者苏。

At first, like sipping mellow wine,

Then, as if waking from a slumber fine.

外融百骸畅，中适一念无。

Outwardly, every inch of body feels soothed,

Inwardly, all fleeting thoughts subside.

旷然忘所在，心与虚空俱。

A vast serenity fills my heart,

As if my soul has merged with environment.

各位亲爱的朋友知音们：

To My Dearest Friends and Kindred Spirits,

不要哭，不要伤心，不要为我难过。我已经「翩然」的去了！

Do not weep, do not grieve, and do not be saddened by my departure. I have taken my leave, light and unburdened, with graceful ease.

「翩然」是我最喜欢的两个字，代表的是「自主、自在、自由」的「飞翔」，优美而「轻盈」，我摆脱了逐渐让我痛苦的躯壳，「翩然」的化为雪花飞去了！

"Graceful ease"—these two words are my favorite. They embody autonomy, freedom, and carefree. It is lightness and elegance. I have shed the body that brought me growing pain and sorrow, and I have transformed into snowflakes, drifting away with effortless grace.

这是我的愿望，「死亡」是每个人必经之路，也是最后一件「大事」。我不想听天由命，不想慢慢枯萎凋零，我想为这最后的大事「作主」。

This has been my wish. "Death" is the inevitable journey we all must take, the final chapter of life. I refuse to surrender to fate, to wither and decay slowly. I want to take charge of this last, most significant event.

上苍对于生命的过程，设计得不是很好。当人老了，都要经过一段很痛苦的「衰弱、退化、生病、出入医院、治疗、不治」的时间，这段时间，可长可短，对于必将老死的人，是多大的折磨！万一不幸，还可能成为依赖「插管维生」的「卧床老人」！我曾经目睹那种惨状。我不要那样的「死亡」。

Life, as designed by the heavens, is flawed. When we age, we are subjected to a grueling decline—weakness, deterioration, illness, hospital visits, treatments, and ultimately, futility. This period can stretch endlessly, a torment for one destined to die. And if misfortune strikes, one might even endure the indignity of being confined to a bed, sustained only by tubes and machines. I have witnessed such agony, and I choose not to endure such an end.

我是「火花」，我己尽力燃烧过。如今，当火焰将熄之前，我选择这种方式，翩然归去。我要说的话，都录在我《当雪花飘落》的视频里了。希望我的朋友们，多看几次视频，了解我想表达的一切。

I am a spark, and I have burned brightly. Now, as my flame dims, I choose to leave gracefully and freely. All I wish to say is captured in my video, When Snowflakes Fall. My dear friends, I hope you will watch it many times and come to understand all that I wish to convey.

朋友们，不要为我的「死亡」悲哀，为我笑吧！生命的美好，就在于「能爱，能恨、能笑，能哭、能歌、能说、能跑、能动、能红尘作伴、活得潇潇洒洒，能嫉恶如仇，活得轰轰烈烈……」这些，我都在有生之年，拥有过了！我「活过」了，不曾辜负此生！

Friends, do not mourn my passing. Celebrate me with joy! The beauty of life lies in its ability to love and hate, laugh and cry, sing and speak, run and move, revel in companionship, and live boldly and freely. To despise injustice, to live passionately—these are the essence of existence. I have embraced them all in my lifetime. I have truly lived and have no regrets.

我最放不下的，就是家人和你们。「爱」紧紧的系着我心，你们都是我最最不舍的。为了让我的灵魂（不知道人类有没有灵魂），也能「翩然」，大家为我笑、为我高歌、为我飞舞吧！我在天之灵，会与你们「共舞」的！

What I cannot bear to leave behind is my family and you. Love ties my heart to you all—it is the hardest bond to sever. For my soul (if indeed souls exist) to depart with ease, I ask that you smile for me, sing for me, dance for me. In heaven, my spirit will dance alongside yours.

别了！我至爱的你们！庆幸此生，曾经和你们相遇相知。

Farewell, my most beloved ones. How fortunate I have been to know you, to cross paths with you in this life.

注意，我「死亡」的方式，是在我生命的终站实行的！年轻的你们，千万不要轻易放弃生命，一时的挫折打击，可能是美好生命中的「磨练」，希望你们经得起磨练，像我一样，活到八十六、七岁，体力不支时，再来选择如何面对死亡。但愿那时，人类已经找到很人道的方式，来帮助「老人」们，快乐的「归去」！

Please note: the way I chose to leave is reserved for the final station of my life. To those of you who are young, never give up easily on life. Moments of hardship and despair are often trials that shape a beautiful life. May you persevere, as I have, and live to the age of eighty-six or beyond. Only then, when strength wanes, should you ponder how to embrace death. Perhaps by then, humanity will have found a compassionate way to aid the elderly in their peaceful departure.

亲爱的你们，要勇敢，要活出强大的「自我」，不要辜负来世间一趟！这世间，虽然不是十全十美，也有各种意外的喜怒哀乐！别错过那些属于你的精彩！

My dear ones, be strong and live a life of fulfillment. Do not squander your time on this earth. Though life is far from perfect, it is filled with moments of unexpected joy, sorrow, anger, and laughter. Do not miss the brilliance that belongs to you.

千言万语说不尽，最后，祝福大家健康快乐，活得潇潇洒洒！

There are endless words I could say, but in the end, I wish you health, happiness, and a life lived with grace and freedom.

琼瑶写于淡水双映楼

2024、12、3

With all my love,

Farewell

When Breath Becomes Air

《当呼吸化为空气》节选

作者：Paul Kalanithi，译者：何雨珈

The lung cancer diagnosis was confirmed. My carefully planned and hard-won future no longer existed. Death, so familiar to me in my work, was now paying a personal visit. Here we were, finally face-to-face, and yet nothing about it seemed recognizable. Standing at the crossroads where I should have been able to see and follow the footprints of the countless patients I had treated over the years, I saw instead only a blank, a harsh, vacant, gleaming white desert, as if a sandstorm had erased all trace of familiarity.

肺癌确诊了。我精心计划和辛苦创造的未来消失得无影无踪。我在工作中那么熟悉的死神，现在亲自来做私人拜访了。我们终于狭路相逢，正面交锋。然而，我似乎一点也认不出面前这位死神。多年来我治疗过无数病人，如今自己站在这个十字路口，我本应该看到和跟随他们密集的脚印，然而眼前却是一片白色沙漠，空空荡荡，艰险残酷，荒无人烟，闪着刺眼的光，仿佛一场暴风雨过境，抹去了所有熟悉的痕迹。

Severe illness wasn’t life-altering, it was life-shattering. It felt less like an epiphany—a piercing burst of light, illuminating What Really Matters—and more like someone had just firebombed the path forward. Now I would have to work around it.

重大疾病不是要改变人生，而是要将你的人生打得粉碎。感觉仿佛神迹降临，强烈的光突然刺进眼睛，照射出真正重要的事情；其实更像有谁刚刚用燃烧弹炸毁了你一心一意前进的道路。现在我必须绕道而行。

Day after day I kept working out, and every tiny increase in strength broadened the possible worlds, the possible versions of me.

我每天都坚持锻炼，力量每增加一点，我的世界就更宽广一点，我自身的可能性也就更多一点。

If I were a writer of books, I would compile a register, with a comment, of the various deaths of men: he who should teach men to die would at the same time teach them to live. —Michel de Montaigne, “That to Study Philosophy Is to Learn to Die

如果我编书，就要汇编一部人类死亡记录，同时附上以下注解：教会别人死亡的人，同时也能教会人生活。——《探究哲理即是学习死亡》，米歇尔·德·蒙田

The duty of doctors included learning what made that particular patient’s life worth living, and planning to save those things if possible—or to allow the peace of death if not. 

医生们的职责，包括去了解病人的生命因为什么而宝贵，而值得一活，并好好计划，可能的话，要尽可能保留这些东西——如果不行的话，就让病人去得安详体面。

Death comes for all of us. For us, for our patients: it is our fate as living, breathing, metabolizing organisms. Most lives are lived with passivity toward death—it’s something that happens to you and those around you. But I had trained for years to actively engage with death, to grapple with it, like Jacob with the angel, and, in so doing, to confront the meaning of a life. We had assumed an onerous yoke, that of mortal responsibility. Our patients’ lives and identities may be in our hands, yet death always wins. Even if you are perfect, the world isn’t. The secret is to know that the deck is stacked, that you will lose, that your hands or judgment will slip, and yet still struggle to win for your patients. You can’t ever reach perfection, but you can believe in an asymptote toward which you are ceaselessly striving.

死神不会放过我们任何人。我们和病人，活着，呼吸着，作为正在新陈代谢的生命体，这都是命运的安排。大多数人从生到死，都是被动的——这是你和你身边的人需要接受的现实。但我，多年勤学苦练，积极地与死神纠缠扭打，像雅各布和天使搏斗；在这个过程中，也不断直面和拷问生命的意义。我们背负着无形的枷锁，肩负着生死攸关的责任。也许病人鲜活的生命就握在我们手中，但死神总是最后的胜者。就算你是完美的，这个世界却不是。支撑我们继续下去的秘诀在于，明白打从发牌的那刻起，你已必输无疑，你会手滑，你会判断失误，但即便如此也要拼尽全力为病人奋战到底。你永远无法到达完美的境地，但通过不懈的努力奋斗和追求，你能看见那无限接近完美的渐进曲线。

Lucy：

Living means fully accepting suffering. 

活着意味着完全接受痛苦。

Your treatment should match your value. 

你的治疗应该和你的价值观匹配。

Engaging in the full range of experience- living and dying, love and loss-is what we get to do. Being human doesn’t happen despite suffering. It happens within it. When we are approaching suffering together, when you choose not to hide from it, our lives don’t diminish, they expand. 

体验人生的全部——生与死、爱与失——正是我们活着的意义。成为人并不是在避免痛苦的情况下发生的，而是在痛苦之中实现的。当我们一起面对痛苦，当你选择不逃避它时，我们的生命不会缩小，反而会扩展。
