雙語美文：花之歌

I am a kind word uttered and repeated

By the voice of Nature;

I am a star fallen from the

Blue tent upon the green carpet.

I am the daughter of the elements

With whom Winter conceived;

To whom Spring gave birth; I was

Reared in the lap of Summer and I

Slept in the bed of Autumn.

我是大自然親切的話語，

說出去，又反復細念;

我是一顆星星，

從藍色蒼穹墜落綠毯之中。

我是諸元素之女：

冬天將我孕育;

春天使我綻放;

夏天讓我成長;

秋天令我安睡。

At dawn I unite with the breeze

To announce the coming of light;

At eventide I join the birds

In bidding the light farewell.

清早，我同晨風一道

宣告光明的到來;

傍晚，我又與群鳥一起

為它的遠去告別。

The plains are decorated with

My beautiful color and the air

Is scented with my fragrance.

我在原野上搖曳，

使風光更加旖旎;

我在清風中呼吸，

使氣息芬芳馥郁。

As I embrace Slumber the eyes of

Night watch over me, and as I

Awaken I stare at the sun, which is

The only eye of the day.

我微睡時，

夜空數(shù)雙眼睛對我凝望;

我醒來時，

白晝的獨眸向我注視。

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to

The voices of the bird and dance

To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.

我飲著朝露釀成的瓊漿;

聽著小鳥的鳴囀歌唱;

就著芳草的搖曳婆娑起舞。

I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;

I am the memory of a moment of happiness;

I am the last gift of the living to the dead;

I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.

我是愛人間的贈禮;我是婚禮的冠冕;

我是片刻歡愉的記憶;

我是生者予死者最后的祭獻;

我是一半歡樂，一半憂傷。

But I look up high to see only the light,

And never look down to see my shadow.

This is wisdom which man must learn.

而我仰望高空，只因對光明神往;

我從不顧影自憐，也不孤芳自賞。

而這些智慧，人類尚未得以領會。
