船
作者：白桦
我有过多次这样的奇遇，
从天堂到地狱只在瞬息之间;
每一朵可爱、温柔的浪花，
都成了突然崛起、随即倾倒的高山。
每一滴海水都变脸变色，
刚刚还是那样美丽、蔚蓝;
当时我甚至想到过轻生，
眼前一片苦海无边;
放弃了希望就象放弃了舵柄，
在暴力之下只能沉默和哀叹。
今天我才有资格嘲笑昨天的自己，
为昨天落叶似的惶恐感到羞惭;
虚度了多少年华，
船身多次被礁石撞穿……
千万次在大洋里撒网，
才捕获到一点点生活的经验，
才恍然大悟，
啊!道理原是如此浅显:
你要航行吗?
必然会有千妖百怪出来阻拦;
暴虐的欺凌是它们的游戏，
制造灭亡是它们唯一的才干。
命中注定我要常常和它们相逢，
因为我的名字叫做船;
面对强大于自身千万倍的对手，
能援救自己的只有清醒和勇敢。
The Ship
Bai Hua
I have time after time experienced such an adventure:
From heaven to hell needs only a twinkling of eyes;
Each lovable and tender spray,
Becomes in an instant a high peak on the collapsing.
Each drop of seawater turns hostile and changes hue;
In spite of its blueness and loveliness a moment ago.
Vortices are entangling upon vortices;
I am heaved heavenward and flung into an abyss ¼
When the idea of commiting suicide hits me,
Before my eyes is a vast expanse of bitter sea;
To abandon hope is like abandoning the tiller,
And one has to save one’s breath and bewail under violence.
Only today I am entitled to mock the me myself of yore,
And I am ashamed of the falling-leaf-like terror of yesterday;
How many years are fooled away,
And the hull of the ship is broken by the reef time and again¼
Not until the net is cast for myriads of times in the ocean,
Do we capture a scantling of life experience,
And it dawns on us:
Oh! The reason behind is so simple and easy:
Do you intend to take a voyage?
Thousands of monsters are lying in wait to discourage;
Tyrannous bullying is their game,
And their sole ability is to bring destruction.
I am destined to come across them from time to time,
Because my name is ship;
Facing the antagonist who is thousands of times more powerful than myself,
Only sobriety and bravery can save me.
