Sand and Foam 沙与沫 （7）

留言说被这些诗感动了的人儿，你们对自己心情的分享也感动了我。我的发音肯定不是最纯正的，也从来没有学过该怎么录出专业的“主播音”，可是就为了这一些感动，我也会继续这些小坚持的……

It takes two of us to discover truth: one to utter it and one to understand it.
真理是需要我们两个人来发现的：一个人来讲说它，一个人来了解它。

Though the wave of words is forever upon us, yet our depth is forever silent.
虽然言语的波浪永远在我们上面喧哗，而我们的深处却永远是沉默的。

Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
许多理论都像一扇窗户，我们通过它看到真理，但是它也把我们同真理隔开。

Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you.

让我们玩捉迷藏吧。你如果藏在我的心里，就不难把你找到。但是如果你藏到你的壳里去，那么任何人也找你不到的。

A woman may veil her face with a smile.

一个女人可以用微笑把她的脸蒙了起来。

How noble is the sad heart who would sing a joyous song with joyous hearts.
那颗能够和欢乐的心一同唱出欢歌的忧愁的心，是多么高贵呵。

He who would understand a woman, or dissect genius, or solve the mystery of silence is the very man who would wake from a beautiful dream to sit at a breakfast table.

想了解女人，或分析天才，或想解答沉默的神秘的人，就是那个想从一个美梦中挣扎醒来坐到早餐桌上的人。

I would walk with all those who walk. I would not stand still to watch the procession passing by.
我愿意同走路的人一同行走。我不愿站住看着队伍走过。

You owe more than gold to him who serves you. Give him of your heart or serve him.
对于服侍你的人，你欠他的还不只是金子。把你的心交给他或是服侍他吧。

Nay, we have not lived in vain. Have they not built towers of our bones?
没有，我们没有白活。他们不是把我们的骨头堆成堡垒了吗？

Let us not be particular and sectional. The poet's mind and the scorpion's tail rise in glory from the same earth.
我们不要挑剔计较吧。诗人的心思和蝎子的尾巴，都是从同一块土地上光荣地升起的。

Every dragon gives birth to a St. George who slays it.

每一条毒龙都产生出一个屠龙的圣乔治来。
