If thou speakest not I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it. I will keep still and wait like the night with starry vigil and its head bent low with patience.
The morning will surely come, the darkness will vanish, and thy voice pour down in golden streams breaking through the sky.
Then thy words will take wing in songs from every one of my birds' nests, and thy melodies will break forth in flowers in all my forest groves.
若是你不说话，我就含忍着，以你的沉默来填满我的心。
我要沉静地等候，象黑夜在星光中无眠，忍耐地低首。
清晨一定会来，黑暗也要消隐，你的声音将划破天空，从金泉中下注。
那时你的话语，要在我的每一鸟巢中生翼发声；你的音乐，要在我丛林繁花中盛开怒放。

On the day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my mind was straying, and I knew it not. My basket was empty and the flower remained unheeded.
Only now and again a sadness fell upon me, and I started up from my dream and felt a sweet trace of a strange fragrance in the south wind.
That vague sweetness made my heart ache with longing and it seemed to me that is was the eager breath of the summer seeking for its completion.
I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this perfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart.
莲花开放的那天，唉，我不自觉地心魂飘荡。我的花篮空着，花儿我也没有去理睬。
不时地有一段幽愁来袭击我。我从梦中惊起，觉得南风里有一阵奇香的芳踪。
这迷茫的温馨，使我想望得心痛，我觉得这仿佛是夏天渴望的气息，寻求圆满。
我那时不晓得它离我是那么近，而且是我的，这完美的温馨，还是在我自己心灵的深处开放。

I must launch out my boat. The languid hours pass by on the shore---Alas for me!
The spring has done its flowering and taken leave. And now with the burden of faded futile flowers I wait and linger.
The waves have become clamorous, and upon the bank in the shady lane the yellow leaves flutter and fall.
What emptiness do you gaze upon! Do you not feel a thrill passing through the air with the notes of the far-away song floating from the other shore?
我必须撑出我的船去。时光都在岸边捱延消磨了－－不堪的我呵！
春天把花开过就告别了。如今落红遍地，我却等待而又留连。
潮声渐喧，河岸的荫滩上黄叶飘落。
你凝望着的是何等的空虚！你不觉得有一阵惊喜和对岸遥远的歌声从天空中一同飘来吗？

In the deep shadows of the rainy July, with secret steps, thou walkest, silent as night, eluding all watchers.
Today the morning has closed its eyes, heedless of the insistent calls of the loud east wind, and a thick veil has been drawn over the ever-wakeful blue sky.
The woodlands have hushed their songs, and doors are all shut at every house. Thou art the solitary wayfarer in this deserted street. Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house---do not pass by like a dream.
在七月霪雨的浓阴中，你用秘密的脚步行走，夜一般的轻悄，躲过一切的守望的人。
今天，清晨闭上眼，不理连连呼喊的狂啸的东风，一张厚厚的纱幕遮住永远清醒的碧空。
林野住了歌声，家家闭户。在这冷寂的街上，你是孤独的行人。呵，我唯一的朋友，我最爱的人，我的家门是开着的－－不要梦一般地走过吧。

Art thou abroad on this stormy night on thy journey of love, my friend? The sky groans like one in despair.
I have no sleep tonight. Ever and again I open my door and look out on the darkness, my friend!

I can see nothing before me. I wonder where lies thy path!
By what dim shore of the ink-black river, by what far edge of the frowning forest, through what mazy depth of gloom art thou threading thy course to come to me, my friend?
在这暴风雨的夜晚你还在外面作爱的旅行吗，我的朋友？天空象失望者在哀号。
我今夜无眠。我不断地开门向黑暗中了望，我的朋友！
我什么都看不见。我不知道你要走哪一条路！
是从黑黑的河岸上，是从远远的愁惨的树林边，是穿过昏暗迂回的曲径，你摸索着来到我这里吗，我的朋友？

If the day is done, if birds sing no more, if the wind has flagged tired, then draw the veil of darkness thick upon me, even as thou hast wrapt the earth with the coverlet of sleep and tenderly closed the petals of the drooping lotus at dusk.
From the traveller, whose sack of provisions is empty before the voyage is ended, whose garment is torn and dustladen, whose strength is exhausted, remove shame and poverty, and renew his life like a flower under the cover of thy kindly night.
假如一天已经过去了，鸟儿也不歌唱，假如风也吹倦了，那就用黑暗的厚幕把我盖上吧，如同你在黄昏时节用睡眠的衾被裹上大地，又轻柔地将垂莲的花瓣合上。
旅客的行程未达，粮袋已空，衣裳破裂污损，而又精疲力尽，供销社解除了他的羞涩与困穷，使他的生命象花朵一样在仁慈的夜幕下苏醒。

In the night of weariness let me give myself up to sleep without struggle, resting my trust upon thee.
Let me not force my flagging spirit into a poor preparation for thy worship.
It is thou who drawest the veil of night upon the tired eyes of the day to renew its sight in a fresher gladness of awakening.
在这困倦的夜里，让我服贴地把自己交给睡眠，把信赖托付给你。
让我不去勉强我的萎靡的精神，来准备一个对你敷衍的礼拜。
是你拉上夜幕盖上白日的倦眼，使这眼神在醒来后的清新喜悦中，更新起来。

He came and sat by my side but I woke not. What a cursed sleep it was, O miserable me!
He came when the night was still; he had his harp in his hands, and my dreams became resonant with its melodies.
Alas, why are my nights all thus lost? Ah, why do I ever miss his sight whose breath touches my sleep?
他来坐在我的身边，而我没有醒起。多么可恨的睡眠，唉，不幸的我呵！
他在静夜中来到；手里拿着琴，我的梦魂和他的音乐起了共鸣。
唉，为什么每夜就这样的虚度了？呵，他的气息接触了我的睡眠，为什么我总看不见的他的面？

Light, oh where is the light? Kindle it with the burning fire of desire!
There is the lamp but never a flicker of a flame---is such thy fate, my heart? Ah, death were better by far for thee!
Misery knocks at thy door, and her message is that thy lord is wakeful, and he calls thee to the love-tryst through the darkness of night.
The sky is overcast with clouds and the rain is ceaseless. I know not what this is that stirs in me---I know not its meaning.
A moment's flash of lightning drags down a deeper gloom on my sight, and my heart gropes for the path to where the music of the night calls me.
Light, oh where is the light! Kindle it with the burning fire of desire! It thunders and the wind rushes screaming through the void. The night is black as a black stone. Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.
灯火，灯火在哪里呢？用熊熊的渴望之火把它点上吧！
灯在这里，却没有一丝火焰，－－这是你的命运吗，我的心呵！你还不如死了好！
悲哀在你门上敲着，她传话说你的主醒着呢，他叫你在夜的黑暗中奔赴爱的约会。
云雾遮满天空，雨也不停地下。我不知道我心里有什么在动荡，－－我不懂得它的意义。
一霎的电光，在我的视线上抛下一道更深的黑暗，我的心摸索着路径寻找那呼唤着我的夜的乐音。

灯火，灯火在哪里呢？用熊熊的渴望之火把它点上吧！雷声在响，狂风怒吼着穿过天空。夜象黑岩一般的黑。不要让时间在黑暗中度过吧。用你的生命把爱的灯点上吧。

Obstinate are the trammels, but my heart aches when I try to break them.
Freedom is all I want, but to hope for it I feel ashamed.
I am certain that priceless wealth is in thee, and that thou art my best friend, but I have not the heart to sweep away the tinsel that fills my room
The shroud that covers me is a shroud of dust and death; I hate it, yet hug it in love.
My debts are large, my failures great, my shame secret and heavy; yet when I come to ask for my good, I quake in fear lest my prayer be granted.
罗网是坚韧的，但是要撕破它的时候我又心痛。
我只要自由，为希望自由我却觉得羞愧。
我确知那无价之宝是在你那里，而且你是我最好的朋友，但我却舍不得清除我满屋的俗物。
我身上披的是尘灰与死亡之衣；我恨它，却又热爱地把它抱紧。
我的债负很多，我的失败很大，我的耻辱秘密而又深重；但当我来求福的时候，我又战栗，唯恐我的祈求得了允诺。

He whom I enclose with my name is weeping in this dungeon. I am ever busy building this wall all around; and as this wall goes up into the sky day by day I lose sight of my true being in its dark shadow.
I take pride in this great wall, and I plaster it with dust and sand lest a least hole should be left in this name; and for all the care I take I lose sight of my true being.
被我用我的名字囚禁起来的那个人，在监牢中哭泣。我每天不停地筑着围墙；当这道围墙高起接天的时候，我的真我便被高墙的黑影遮断不见了。
我以这道高墙自豪，我用沙土把它抹严，唯恐在这名字上还留着一丝罅隙：我煞费了苦心，我也看不见了真我。

I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.
He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger; he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.
He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame; but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company.
我独自去赴幽会。是谁在暗寂中跟着我呢？
我走开躲他，但是我逃不掉。
他昂首阔步，使地上尘土飞扬；我说出的每一个字里，都掺杂着他的喊叫。
他就是我的小我，我的主，他恬不知耻；但和他一同到你门前，我却感到羞愧。

`Prisoner, tell me, who was it that bound you?'
`It was my master,' said the prisoner. `I thought I could outdo everybody in the world in wealth and power, and I amassed in my own treasure-house the money due to my king. When sleep overcame me I lay upon the bad that was for my lord, and on waking up I found I was a prisoner in my own treasure-house.'
`Prisoner, tell me, who was it that wrought this unbreakable chain?'
`It was I,' said the prisoner, `who forged this chain very carefully. I thought my invincible power would hold the world captive leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip.'
“囚人，告诉我，谁把你捆起来的？”
“是我的主人，”囚人说，“我以为我的财富与权力胜过世界上一切的人，我把我的国王的钱财聚敛在自己的宝库里。我昏困不过，睡在我主的床上，一觉醒来，我发现我在自己的宝库里做了囚人。”
“囚人，告诉我，是谁铸的这条坚牢的锁链？”
“是我，”囚人说，“是我自己用心铸造的。我以为我的无敌的权力会征服世界，使我有无碍的自由。我日夜用烈火重锤打造了我条铁链。等到工作完成，铁链坚牢完善，我发现这铁链把我捆住了。”

By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world. But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs, and thou keepest me free.
Lest I forget them they never venture to leave me alone. But day passes by after day and thou art not seen.
If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart, thy love for me still waits for my love.
尘世上那些爱我的人，用尽方法拉住我。你的爱就不是那样，你的爱比他们的伟大得多，你让我自由。
他们从不敢离开我，恐怕我把他们忘掉。但是你，日子一天一天地过去，你还没有露面。
若是我不在祈祷中呼唤你，若是我不把你放在心上，你爱我的爱情仍在等待着我的爱。

When it was day they came into my house and said, `We shall only take the smallest room here.'
They said, `We shall help you in the worship of your God and humbly accept only our own share in his grace'; and then they took their seat in a corner and they sat quiet and meek.
But in the darkness of night I find they break into my sacred shrine, strong and turbulent, and snatch with unholy greed the offerings from God's altar.
白天的时候，他们来到我的房子里说，“我们只占用最小的一间屋子。”
他们说，“我们要帮忙你礼拜你的上帝，而且只谦恭地领受我们应得的一份恩典；”他们就在屋角安静谦柔地坐下。
但是在黑夜里，我发现他们强暴地冲进我的圣堂，贪婪地攫取了神坛的祭品。

Let only that little be left of me whereby I may name thee my all.
Let only that little be left of my will whereby I may feel thee on every side, and come to thee in everything, and offer to thee my love every moment.
Let only that little be left of me whereby I may never hide thee.
Let only that little of my fetters be left whereby I am bound with thy will, and thy purpose is carried out in my life---and that is the fetter of thy love.

只要我一息尚存，我就称你为我的一切。
只要我一诚不灭，我就感觉到你在我的四围，任何事情，我都有来请教你，任何时候都有把我的爱献上给你。
只要我一息尚存，我就永不把你藏匿起来。
只要把我和你的意旨锁在一起的脚镣，还留着一小段，你的意旨就在我的生命中实现－－这脚镣就是你的爱。

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
在那里，心是无畏的，头也抬得高昂；
在那里，知识是自由的；
在那里，世界还没有被狭小的家园的墙隔成片段；
在那里，话是从真理的深处说出；

在那里，理智的清泉没有沉没在积习的荒漠之中；
在那里，心灵是受你的指引，走向那不断放宽的思想与行为－－进入那自由的天国，我的父呵，让我的国家觉醒起来吧。

This is my prayer to thee, my lord---strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.
这是我对你的祈求，我的主－－请你铲除，铲除我心里贫乏的根源。
赐给我力量使我能轻闲地承受欢乐与忧伤。
赐给我力量使我的爱在服务中得到果实。
赐给我力量使我永不抛弃穷人也永不向淫威屈膝。
赐给我力量使我的心灵超越于日常琐事之上。
再赐给我力量使我满怀爱意地把我的力量服从你意志的指挥。

I thought that my voyage had come to its end at the last limit of my power,---that the path before me was closed, that provisions were exhausted and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity.
But I find that thy will knows no end in me. And when old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders.
我以为我的精力已竭，旅程已终－－前路已绝，储粮已尽，退稳在静默 鸿蒙中的时间已经到来。
