A Green World by Bai Hong ~ 白虹 《绿色世界》 with English Translations

作品原文

白虹 《绿色世界》

儿时,我珍藏着一块
绿色的小玻璃片
(它曾经是啤酒瓶吧)

每当烈日
要把世界融化
我就把玻璃片遮在眼前

哦,多美的世界
太阳,燃烧的火球
变成母亲绿色的绒线团

织呵
为天空织一件绸衫
为行人织一片浓荫

把风
织成清凉的溪水
懒懒地躺在软软的草地上
给躁的蝉鸣
蒙上一层
柔和的绿纱

我甜甜地笑了
这绿莹莹的夏
是从我纯真的心灵中
幻化出来的呀

 

 

作品译文

 

A Green World
Bai Hong

As a child, I treasured a small
Bit of green glass
(It used to be a beer bottle).

Whenever the burning sun
Was about to melt down the world
I would shield my eyes with this bit of glass.

Oh, what a beautiful world
The sun, a flaming ball of fire
Would turn into a mother’s green skein.

Weave,
Weave a silk blouse for the sky
Weave a dense shade for people on their way.

Weave
The wind
Into a cool current of water
Lying lazily on the soft grass
Cover the noisy cicada cries
With a layer
Of soft green gauze.

I smile in delight
This brilliant green summer
Is on more than a fancy
Created by my pure heart.
