To Lee McGeorge Durrell
致 李·麦乔治·杜雷尔
I have seen a thousand sunsets and sunrises, on land where it floods forest and mountains with honey-colored light, at sea where it rises and sets like a blood orange in a multi-colored nest of cloud, slipping in and out of the vast ocean.
我曾见过千番日出和日落。大地上的森林与高山被镀上一层蜜色光泽，在它升落的海面，好似五彩云团里的一颗血橙出没不止，在那浩瀚汪洋间。
I have seen a thousand moons: harvest moons like gold coins; winter moons as white as ice chips; new moons like baby swan's feathers.
我见过千般月色。满月好似金币，冬日寒月白如冰屑，新月宛如雏天鹅的绒羽。
I have seen seas as smooth as if painted, colored like shot silk or blue as a kingfisher or transparent as glass or black and crumpled with foam, moving ponderously and murderously.
我曾见过大海静谧如画。色似锦缎，或蓝如翠羽，或通透似玻璃，或乌色泛褶出泡沫，汹涌得沉重又狠恶。
I have known silence: the cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well; the implacable stony silence of a deep cave; the hot, drugged midday silence when everything is hypnotized and stilled into silence by the eye of the sun; the silence when great music ends.
我曾知悉静默。那在一眼新井里的静默，冷冽且夹着泥土气味，深邃洞穴中的静默，冷酷决绝;酷热迷离，正午的静默，万物被当空烈日催眠，平息而至静默;静默，当天籁终了时。
I have heard tree frogs in an orchestration as complicated as Bach, singing in a forest lit by a million emerald fireflies.
我曾听树蛙在林中咏唱，复杂严谨俨如巴赫，翠绿萤火虫为之燃起百万点亮光。
I have seen Whales, black as tar, cushioned on a cornflower blue sea, creating a Versailles of fountain with their breath.
我见过鲸鱼，黝似沥青，衬着矢车菊般蓝蓝的大海，他们一呼一吸之间，筑起凡尔赛的喷泉。
I have watched butterflies emerge and sit, trembling, while the sun irons their wings smooth.
我见过蝴蝶破茧时危坐，颤栗着，任由阳光把鳞翼熨平。
I have been dive-bombed by an angry Raven, black and glossy as a Devil's hoof.
我曾被愤怒的渡鸦俯冲轰炸，玄青浮光，似魔鬼之蹄。
I have met a thousand animals and seen a thousand wonderful things. All this I did without you. This was my loss. All this I want to do with you. This will be my gain. All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of one minute of your company, for your laugh, your voice, your eyes, hair, lips, body, and above all for your sweet, ever-surprising mind which is an enchanting quarry in which it is my privilege to delve.
我遇过千种生灵，见过千般绝妙的事情。这一切曾经，没与你携手，于我尽是枉过。这一切将历，有你在左右，于我便为收获。这一切所有，我愿放弃，只为换取你一分钟的相伴，换你的笑语、你的声音，换你明眸、秀发、朱唇、玉体，最重要的，换你那美妙而几可惊叹的心智，那迷人的宝藏，唯有我一人，有权探究。
今天的东软之声结束了
愿我们每一个人
都可以勇敢追寻
属于自己的爱情
