雙語《園丁集》 對那些定要離開的客人們

45

TO the guests that must go bid God's speed and brush away all traces of their steps.

Take to your bosom with a smile what is easy and simple and near.

To-day is the festival of phantoms that know not when they die.

Let your laughter be but a meaningless mirth like twinkles of light on the ripples.

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

Strike in chords from your harp fitful momentary rhythms.

45

對那些定要離開的客人們，求神幫他們快走，

并且掃掉他們所有的足跡。

把舒服的、單純的、親近的微笑著一起抱在你的懷里。

今天是幻影的節(jié)日，他們不知道自己的死期。

讓你的笑聲只作為無意義的歡樂，像浪花上的閃光。

讓你的生命像露珠在葉尖一樣，在時間的邊緣上輕輕跳舞。

在你的琴弦上彈出無定的暫時的音調(diào)吧。
