漢詩英譯 | 父親

父親馬嶺古道

到處漂泊，從最北的黑龍江

到最南的海南島

從最大城市上海到最小的鄉村

因為生活，在富春江邊的小鎮

居住了四十多年

他當時並不知道邊上有一個人

也從其它地方來到富春江邊居住

他不知道此人歷史上頂頂有名

常在富春江邊釣魚，他不知道

許多名人常來看他的鄰居

他只知道，這裡有山有水有工廠

有養家糊口的固定工資

他不能和這位鄰居一樣，把一生

交給這座名山，這條名江

他不能到處流浪

老了，老了，他回到了

家鄉的小河，家鄉的小山

在曾是茶山的山上

找了一個墓地，說道

這才是我安放靈魂的地方

它的對面，有一條無名的小河

一些無名的小山

還有一條無名的縣道走著許多無名的人

他們都和我父親一樣

懷揣著不安的靈魂東奔西跑

只是，有的回到了故鄉

有的一生都在外地流浪

而我的父親是幸福的，他在

最後時刻，把不安的靈魂

放在了寂靜的山上

這裡，開滿了無名的茶花

我聽到許多茶葉在說

這是我的父親

FATHER

by Horse Mountain Ancient Road

Roaming around, north from northern Heilongjiang

to the southernmost island of Hainan,

from Shanghai the metropolis to the tiniest villages,

he came to settle in a little town by the Fuchun River

for more than forty years.

All those years he didn』t know there was also someone else

from another place who came to live by the same river.

He didn』t know this man was a celebrity in history,

who often fished in this river. He didn』t know that,

nor was he aware that many famous people came to visit his neighbor.

He only knew there were mountains, rivers, and factories,

and a steady wage to raise a family.

He couldn』t do as his neighbor did, devoting his life

to this renown mountain and river.

When he could no longer wander around,

old, frail, he returned

to a little river in his native home,

to a small hill,

and found a graveyard

on an old tea mountain, and said,

this would be my soul』s resting place.

There is an unknown river,

some hills without names,

and an unknown county road and many unknown travelers,

who, like my father,

run around with souls that have found no peace.

Among them, some will return to their hometown villages,

others continue to roam distant lands.

But my father is happy, he has,

at the last moment, placed his restless soul

on a quiet hill.

Here, surrounded by nameless tea plants,

I hear many tea leaves saying:

this is my father.
