Zhu Ziqing: Spring ~朱自清《春》 with English Translations
Spring "is a prose written by modern essayist Zhu Ziqing. It was first published in July 1933 and has been widely used in Chinese language textbooks for many years. The length of 'Spring' is very short, with only over 700 words, divided into ten natural paragraphs, which can be divided into three parts. The first part, which is the first natural paragraph, describes the longing for spring and the joy of welcoming spring; The second part, from the second to the seventh natural paragraphs, vividly depicts the scenery of spring, while the third part, from the eighth to the tenth natural paragraphs, praises spring. In this poem "Ode to Spring" full of poetic meaning, it actually contains the author's specific period of thoughts and emotions, pursuit of life and personality, and expresses the author's inherent traditional cultural accumulation and longing for the realm of freedom. After 1927, Zhu Ziqing was always searching for and creating an ideal world deep in his soul - the world of dreams, to accommodate his "rather restless" boxing heart, resist the disturbances of the outside world, and enable him to "isolate himself" in a secluded study, achieving his academic success. Spring "depicts and praises a… -

If willows wither, they will turn green again. If peaches shed their blossoms, they will flower again. But, tell me, you the wise, why should our days go by never to return? Perhaps they have been stolen by someone. But who could it be and where could he hide them? Perhaps they have just run away by themselves. But where could they be at the present moment? I don't know how many days I am entitled to altogether, but my quota of them is undoubtedly wearing away. Counting up silently, I find that more than 8,000 days have already slipped away through my fingers. Like a drop of water falling off a… -
Zhu Ziqing’s Essay: The Sight of Father’s Back 朱自清《背影》- modern chinese literature
Zhu Ziqing (November 22, 1898 - August 12, 1948), originally named Zhu Zihua, with the pen name Shiqiu, later changed his name to Ziqing, with the pen name Peixian. Originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, he was born in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province (now Pingming Town, Donghai County, Lianyungang City), and later settled in Yangzhou with his father. He is a modern Chinese essayist, poet, scholar, and democratic fighter. 背影 ◎ 朱自清 我与父亲不相见已二年余了，我最不能忘记的是他的背影。那年冬天，祖母死了，父亲的差使也交卸了，正是祸不单行的日子，我从北京到徐州，打算跟着父亲奔丧回家。到徐州见着父亲，看见满院狼藉的东西，又想起祖母，不禁簌簌地流下眼泪。父亲说：“事已如此，不必难过，好在天无绝人之路！” 回家 〔1〕 变卖典质，父亲还了亏空；又借钱办了丧事。这些日子，家中光景很是惨淡，一半为了丧事，一半为了父亲的赋闲 〔2〕 。丧事完毕，父亲要到南京谋事，我也要回北京念书，我们便同行。 到南京时，有朋友约去游逛，勾留了一日；第二日上午便须渡江到浦口，下午上车北去。父亲因为事忙，本已说定不送我，叫旅馆里一个熟识的茶房 〔3〕 陪我同去。他再三嘱咐茶房，甚是仔细。但他终于不放心，怕茶房不妥贴，颇踌躇了一会。其实那年我已二十岁，北京来往过两三次，是没有甚么要紧的了。他踌躇了一会，终于决定还是自己送我去。我两三回劝他不必去 〔4〕 ；他只说，“不要紧，他们去不好 〔5〕 ！” 我们过了江，进了车站。我买票，他忙着照看行李。行李太多了，得向脚夫行些小费 〔6〕 ，才可过去。他便又忙着和他们讲价钱。我那时真是聪明过分 〔7〕 ，总觉他说话不大漂亮 〔8〕 ，非自己插嘴不可。但他终于讲定了价钱；就送我上车。他给我拣定了靠车门的一张椅子；我将他给我做的紫毛大衣铺好坐位。他嘱我路上小心，夜里要警醒些，不要受凉。又嘱托茶房好好照应我。我心里暗笑他的迂 〔9〕 ；他们只认得钱，托他们直是白托！而且我这样大年纪的人，难道还不能料理自己么？唉，我现在想想，那时真是太聪明了 〔10〕 ！ 我说道，“爸爸，你走吧。”他望车外看了看，说，“我买几个橘子去。你就在此地，不要走动。”我看那边月台的栅栏外有几个卖东西的等着顾客。走到那边月台，须穿过铁道，须跳下去又爬上去。父亲是一个胖子，走过去自然要费些事。我本来要去的，他不肯，只好让他去。我看见他戴着黑布小帽，穿着黑布大马褂 〔11〕 ，深青布棉袍，蹒跚地走到铁道边，慢慢探身下去，尚不大难。可是他穿过铁道，要爬上那边月台，就不容易了。他用两手攀着上面，两脚再向上缩；他肥胖的身子向左微倾，显出努力的样子。这时我看见他的背影，我的眼泪很快地流下来了。我赶紧拭干了泪，怕他看见，也怕别人看见。我再向外看时，他已抱了朱红的橘子往回走了。过铁道时，他先将橘子散放在地上，自己慢慢爬下，再抱起橘子走。到这边时，我赶紧去搀他。他和我走到车上，将橘子一股脑儿放在我的皮大衣上。于是扑扑衣上的泥土，心里很轻松似的，过一会说，“我走了；到那边来信！”我望着他走出去。他走了几步，回过头看见我，说，“进去吧，里边没人 〔12〕 。”等他的背影混入来来往往的人里，再找不着了，我便进来坐下，我的眼泪又来了。 近几年来，父亲和我都是东奔西走 〔13〕 ，家中光景是一日不如一日。他少年出外谋生，独力支持，做了许多大事。那知老境却如此颓唐！他触目伤怀，自然情不能自已 〔14〕 。情郁于中，自然要发之于外；家庭琐屑便往往触他之怒。他待我渐渐不同往日 〔15〕 。但最近两年的不见，他终于忘却我的不好，只是惦记着我，惦记着我的儿子。我北来后，他写了一信给我，信中说道，“我身体平安，惟膀子疼痛利害，举箸提笔，诸多不便，大约大去 〔16〕 之期不远矣。”我读到此处，在晶莹的泪光中，又看见那肥胖的，青布棉袍，黑布马褂的背影。唉！我不知何时再能与他相见！ The Sight of Father's Back ◎ Zhu Ziqing It is more than two years since I last saw father, and what I can never forget is the sight of his back. Misfortunes never come singly. In the winter of more than two years ago, grandma died and father lost his job. I left Beijing for Xuzhou to join father in hastening home to attend grandma's funeral. When I met father in Xuzhou, the sight of the disorderly mess in his courtyard and the thought of grandma started tears trickling down my cheeks. Father said, "Now that things've come to such a pass, it's no use crying. Fortunately, Heaven always leaves one a way out." After arriving home in Yangzhou, father paid off debts by selling or… -
Mourning for Husheng by Zhu Ziqing
作品原文 朱自清 《哀互生》 三月里刘熏宇君来信，说互生生病了，而且是没有希望的病，医生说只好等日子了。四月底在《时事新报》上见到立达学会的通告，想不到这么快互生就殁了！后来听说他病中的光景，那实在太惨；为他想，早点去，少吃些苦头，也未尝不好的。但丢下立达这个学校，这班朋友，这班学生，他一定不甘心，不瞑目！ 互生最叫我们纪念的是他做人的态度。他本来是一副铜筋铁骨，黑皮肤衬着一套大布之衣，看去像个乡下人。他什么苦都吃得，从不晓得享用，也像乡下人。他心里一团火，也像乡下人。那一团火是热，是力，是光。他不爱多说话，但常常微笑；那微笑是自然的，温暖的。在他看，人是可以互相爱着的，除了一些成见已深，不愿打开窗户说亮话的。他对这些人却有些憎恶，不肯假借一点颜色。世界上只有能憎的从才能爱；爱憎没有定见，只是毫无作为的脚色。互生觉得青年成见还少，希望最多；所以愿意将自己的生命一滴不剩而献给他们，让爱的宗教在他们中间繁荣滋长，让他们都走向新世界去。互生不好发议论，只埋着头干干干，是儒家的真正精神。我和他并没有深谈过，但从他的行事看来，想念我是认识他的。 互生办事的专心，少有人及得他。他办立达便饮食坐卧只惦着立达，再不想别的。立达好像他的情人，他的独子。他性情本有些狷介，但为了立达，也常去看一班大人先生，更常去看那些有钱可借的老板之类。他东补西凑地为立达筹着款子，还要跑北京，跑南京。有一回他本以留学去，但丢不下立达，到底没有去。他将生命献给立达，立达也便是他的生命。他办立达这么多年，并没有让多少人知道他个人的名字，他早忘记了自己。现在他那样壮健的身子到底为立达牺牲了。他殉了自己的理想，是有意义的。只是这理想刚在萌芽；我们都该想想，立达怎样才可不死呢？立达不列，互生其实也便不死了。 英文译文 Mourning for Husheng Zhu Ziqing In March I heard from Mr. Liu Xunyu that Husheng was sick andhopelessly sick at that. The doctor said there was nothing he could do but towait for the day to arrive. Toward the end of April, I came across an obituaryissued by Lida Association in the newspaper Current Affairs. How quickly theday had arrived! Later, when I learned how he had suffered during his illness,I thought it was too miserable. From his point of view, however, his passingaway was not a bad thing after all, because he suffered less by going earlier.But it must have been very hard for him to close his eyes and resign himself tothe fact that he was leaving his Lida School, his friends and his studentsbehind. What was most memorable about Husheng was his attitude toward life.He was as strong as a man of steel, his dark complexion set off by clothes ofcoarse cloth, looking like someone from the countryside. He could withstand anyhardship and never sought ease and comfort. In this respect he was like a countryman,too. Again like a countryman, he had a heart as warm as fire radiating warmth,power… -
Green by Zhu Ziqing ~ 朱自清 《绿》 with English Translations
作品原文 朱自清 《绿》 我第二次到仙岩的时候，我惊诧于梅雨潭的绿了。 梅雨潭是一个瀑布潭。仙瀑有三个瀑布，梅雨瀑最低。走到山边，便听见花花花花的声音；抬起头，镶在两条湿湿的黑边儿里的，一带白而发亮的水便呈现于眼前了。 我们先到梅雨亭。梅雨亭正对着那条瀑布；坐在亭边，不必仰头，便可见它的全体了。亭下深深的便是梅雨潭。这个亭踞在突出的一角的岩石上，上下都空空儿的；仿佛一只苍鹰展着翼翅浮在天宇中一般。三面都是山，像半个环儿拥着；人如在井底了。这是一个秋季的薄阴的天气。微微的云在我们顶上流着；岩面与草丛都从润湿中透出几分油油的绿意。而瀑布也似乎分外的响了。那瀑布从上面冲下，仿佛已被扯成大小的几绺；不复是一幅整齐而平滑的布。岩上有许多棱角；瀑流经过时，作急剧的撞击，便飞花碎玉般乱溅着了。那溅着的水花，晶莹而多芒；远望去，像一朵朵小小的白梅，微雨似的纷纷落着。据说，这就是梅雨潭之所以得名了。但我觉得像杨花，格外确切些。轻风起来时，点点随风飘散，那更是杨花了。——这时偶然有几点送入我们温暖的怀里，便倏的钻了进去，再也寻它不着。 梅雨潭闪闪的绿色招引着我们；我们开始追捉她那离合的神光了。揪着草，攀着乱石，小心探身下去，又鞠躬过了一个石穹门，便到了汪汪一碧的潭边了。瀑布在襟袖之间；但我的心中已没有瀑布了。我的心随潭水的绿而摇荡。那醉人的绿呀，仿佛一张极大极大的荷叶铺着，满是奇异的绿呀。我想张开两臂抱住她；但这是怎样一个妄想呀。－－站在水边，望到那面，居然觉着有些远呢！这平铺着，厚积着的绿，着实可爱。她松松的皱缬着，像少妇拖着的裙幅；她轻轻的摆弄着，像跳动的初恋的处女的心；她滑滑的明亮着，像涂了“明油”一般，有鸡蛋清那样软，那样嫩，令人想着所曾触过的最嫩的皮肤；她又不杂些儿法滓，宛然一块温润的碧玉，只清清的一色－－但你却看不透她！我曾见过北京什刹海指地的绿杨，脱不了鹅黄的底子，似乎太淡了。我又曾见过杭州虎跑寺旁高峻而深密的“绿壁”，重叠着无穷的碧草与绿叶的，那又似乎太浓了。其余呢，西湖的波太明了，秦淮河的又太暗了。可爱的，我将什么来比拟你呢？我怎么比拟得出呢？大约潭是很深的、故能蕴蓄着这样奇异的绿；仿佛蔚蓝的天融了一块在里面似的，这才这般的鲜润呀。－－那醉人的绿呀！我若能裁你以为带，我将赠给那轻盈的舞女；她必能临风飘举了。我若能挹你以为眼，我将赠给那善歌的盲妹；她必明眸善睐了。我舍不得你；我怎舍得你呢？我用手拍着你，抚摩着你，如同一个十二三岁的小姑娘。我又掬你入口，便是吻着她了。我送你一个名字，我从此叫你“女儿绿”，好么？ 我第二次到仙岩的时候，我不禁惊诧于梅雨潭的绿了。 作品译文 Green Zhu Ziqing The second time I visited the Xianyan Mountain I was staggered by the green of Plum Rain Pool. Plum Rain Pool is at the foot of a waterfall, the lowest of the three waterfalls on Xianyan. If you come near to the mountain, you hear the gurgle and plash, and looking up see a belt of sparkling white water edged by two moist black borders. First we reached Plum Rain Pavilion. This stands opposite the waterfall, and seated beside it you need not raise your head to see the whole cascade. At the foot of the pavilion is the deep Plum Rain Pool. The pavilion stands on a projecting rock with nothing above or below it, like an eagle poise in the sky with outstretched wings. Mountains on three sides form a semi-circle round it, making you feel as if at the bottom of a well. it was a hazy autumn day when we went there. Fleecy clouds floated overhead, and rich green oozed from the moisture on the face of the rock and on the clumps of grass. The waterfall seemed unusually clamorous too. It… -
Traces of Wenzhou by Zhu Ziqing ~ 朱自清 《温州的足迹》 with English Translations
作品原文 朱自清 《温州的足迹》 这是一张尺多宽的小小的横幅，马孟容君画的。上方的左角，斜着一卷绿色的帘子，稀疏而长；当纸的直处三分之一，横处三分之二。帘子中央，着一黄色的，茶壶嘴似的钩儿——就是所谓软金钩么？“钩弯”垂着双穗，石青色；丝缕微乱，若小曳于轻风中。纸右一圆月，淡淡的青光遍满纸上；月的纯净，柔软与平和，如一张睡美人的脸。从帘的上端向右斜伸而下，是一枝交缠的海棠花。花叶扶疏，上下错落着，共有五丛；或散或密，都玲珑有致。叶嫩绿色，仿佛掐得出水似的；在月光中掩映着，微微有浅深之别。花正盛开，红艳欲流；黄色雄蕊历历的，闪闪的。衬托在丛绿之间，格外觉着娇娆了。枝欹斜而腾挪，如少女的一只臂膊。枝上歇着一对黑色的八哥，背着月光，向着帘里。一只歇得高些，小小的眼儿半睁半闭的，似乎在入梦之前，还有所留恋似的。那低画题，系旧句。些的一只别过脸来对着这一只，已缩着颈儿睡了。帘下是空空的，不着一些痕迹。 试想在圆月朦胧之夜，海棠是这样的妩媚而嫣润；枝头的好鸟为什么却双栖而各梦呢？在这夜深人静的当儿，那高踞着的一只八哥儿，又为何尽撑着眼皮儿不肯睡去呢？他到底等 什么来着？舍不得那淡淡的月儿么？舍不得那疏疏的帘儿么？不，不，不，您得到帘下去找，您得向帘中去找——您该找着那卷帘人了？他的情韵风怀，原是这样这样的哟！朦胧的岂独月呢；岂独鸟呢？但是，咫尺天涯，教我如何耐得？我拼着千呼万唤；你能够出来么？ 这页画布局那样经济，设色那样柔活，故精彩足以动人。虽是区区尺幅，而情韵之厚，已足沦肌浃髓而有余。我看了这画，瞿然而惊：留恋之怀，不能自已。故将所感受的印象细细写出，以志这一段因缘。但我于中西的画都是门外汉，所说的话不免为内行所笑。——那也只好由他了。 作品译文 Traces of Wenzhou Zhu Ziqing This is a very small horizontal scroll, just over a foot wide, painted by Ma Mengrong. In the left-hand top corner a long and flimsy green curtain is suspended at a slant; it occupies one third of the vertical and two thirds of the horizontal space. In the centre of the curtain is positioned a yellow hook, shaped like the spout of a teapot—this would be what they call a ‘soft gold hook', I imagine. From the bend of the hook hangs a pair of tassels, stone grey in colour; their threads are somewhat awry, as if they are being pulled by a breeze. on the right is a full moon, which is shedding its pale bluish light over the whole of the surface of the painting. The moon is pure, soft and peaceful, like the face of a sleeping beauty. Sloping downward from the top edge of the curtain is a branch of a flowering crabapple. The luxuriant flowers and leaves are evenly spaced, there being five sprays along the length of the branch. Some are dense, some are sparse, but all…
