Like Just Meet For The First Time
初相遇
作者/席慕容
翻译/Lily

Similar to a beautiful poem, a beautiful dream
Can only be obtained by chance, not by pray,
Coming up always at moments least expected

美丽的梦和美丽的诗一样
都是可遇而不可求的
常常在最没能料到的时刻里出现

I like that kind of dream
In which everything could start again
And everything could take time to explain
Even gratitude and ecstasy are felt in my heart
As if all wasted time could unexpectedly return

我喜欢那样的梦
在梦里一切都可以重新开始
一切都可以慢慢解释
心里甚至还能感觉到所有被浪费的时光
竟然都能重回时的狂喜和感激

My heart is overflowed with happiness
Because you're smiling in front of me
Just as you were years back
A kind of dream I really like

胸怀中满溢著幸福
只因为你就在我眼前
对我微笑一如当年
我真喜欢那样的梦

Knowing that for my sake you’ve trekked thousands of miles
I still feel lush grass fresh and fallen petals in profusion,
As if you and I just had met for the first time

明明知道你已为我跋涉千里
却又觉得芳草鲜美落英缤纷
好像你我才初初相遇

Sometimes it is hard
to put feelings into words
将感情付诸言辞，
有时确是件难事。

but I want you to know
how you affect me
但我想让你知道，
你于我有多重要。

When I wake up
and see you in the morning
I am so happy
that we are together
清晨醒来见到你，
知道我们在一起，
便觉得如此幸福。

I respect you
I admire you
I love you deeply
我尊重你崇拜你，
我深深地爱着你。

When I wake up
each morning
and see you next to me
no matter what happens
I know that my day will
be all right
若每个清晨醒来，
能见你即在身侧，
我便深深地知道，
无论发生什么事，
日子将安然继续。

When I wake up
each morning
and see you next to me
no matter what happens
I know that my day will
be all right
若每个清晨醒来，
能见你即在身侧，
我便深深地知道，
无论发生什么事，
日子将安然继续。

席慕容 《一棵开花的树》�
May Buddha let us meet
如何让你遇见我
in my most beautiful hours,
在我最美丽的时刻
I have prayed for it
为这——
for five hundred years.
我已在佛前 求了五百年
Buddha made me a tree
求它让我们结一段尘缘
by the path you may take,
佛于是把我化做一棵树
In full blossoms I'm waiting in the sun
长在你必经的路旁
every flower carrying my previous hope.
阳光下慎重地开满了花
As you are near, listen carefully
朵朵都是我前世的盼望
the quivering leaves are my waiting zeal,
当你走近 请你细听
As you pass by the tree
那颤抖的叶是我等待的热情
without noticing me,
而当你终于无视地走过
My friend, upon the ground behind you
在你身后落了一地的
is not the fallen petals but my withered heart.
朋友啊　那不是花瓣
是我凋零的心

Your Laughter
你的微笑

By/Pablo Neruda
作者/聂鲁达
翻译/长风


Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.
我可以失去面包，
甚至空气，可是，
我不能失去你的微笑。

Do not take away the rose,
the lance flower that you pluck,
the water that suddenly
bursts forth in joy,
the sudden wave
of silver born in you.
也不能失去
你采摘的玫瑰和枪头花，
还有小溪般奔涌的激情，
和你银色浪花般的风韵。

My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.
我常常痛苦挣扎，
呆滞的目光
停留在
死寂的大地。
而你的微笑，
使我神采飞扬，
也为我开启，
生命所有的奥秘。

My love, in the darkest
hour your laughter
opens, and if suddenly
you see my blood staining
the stones of the street,
laugh, because your laughter
will be for my hands
like a fresh sword.
我的爱，你的微笑
使我在黑暗中瞥见光明。
如果你无意中
看到街石上
我抛洒的热血，
继续欢笑吧，
因为它
使我双手如剑高举。

Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.
在秋日的海滨，
你的微笑
使千堆雪卷起。
在温暖的春日，
你的微笑
如我期盼的鲜花--
蓝色的小花，鲜红的玫瑰 --
开满春意盎然的大地。

Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air, light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die.
微笑吧，无论是黑夜，
白昼，还是月明；
也许岛上的小路
崎岖，
爱你的男人
不解风情，
但当我眠
我醒，
我出，
我入，
面包，空气，春天和光明
尽可失去，
唯独你的微笑，不能失去。
因为它是我的生命！

Hill Path-Xi Murong

It seemed that I had promised
To go together with you
Up that beautiful hill path.
You said the hillside was dotted
With new tea trees and love peas
It seemed I had promised you to go
On a spring afternoon long ago

Tonight, under the light
When I was combing my graying hair
It suddenly came to me the promise
That I failed to live up to
And I was overwhelmed by some inexplicable sadness.

On that hill path
Are you, a young lad as you were,
Still waiting for me?
Still eagerly looking around?

山路
席慕蓉

我好像答应过你
要和你 一起
走上那条美丽的山路
你说 那坡上种满了新茶
还有细密的相思树
我好像答应过你
在一个遥远的春日下午

而今夜 在灯下
梳我初白的发
忽然记起了一些没能
实现的诺言 一些
无法解释的悲伤

在那条山路上
少年的你 是不是
还在等我
还在急切地向来处张望


你好
我是乙舒

In that summer of loving you

I was free

In that summer of loving you

I was beautiful
我美得不像话

I saw myself in your eyes
我看到你眼中的自己

And I was wonderful
神采飞扬

In that summer of loving you
我爱着你的那个夏天

I danced with passion
我热情的狂舞

In and out of arms of love
我沉浸在爱的怀抱里

And you held me
在你的怀抱里

In that summer of loving you
我爱着你的那个夏天

I was laughter
我纵情欢笑

You laughed with me
你会和我一起笑

But never at me
却不会笑话我

In that summer of loving you
我爱着你的那个夏天

I lost you
我却失去了你

And my heart was breaking... As you left me
随着你的离去…… 我的心也碎了
