SYMPATHY
TAGORE

IF I were only a little puppy, not your baby, mother dear, would you say "No" to me if I tried to eat from your dish?

Would you drive me off, saying to me, "Get away, you naughty little puppy?"

Then go, mother, go! I will never come to you when you call me, and never let you feed me any more.



If I were only a little green parrot, and not your baby, mother dear, would you keep me chained lest I should fly away?

Would you shake your finger at me and say, "What an ungrateful wretch of a bird! It is gnawing at its chain day and night?"

Then, go, mother, go! I will run away into the woods; I will never let you take me in your arms again.

早晨，钟敲十下的时候，我沿着我们的小巷到学校去。

每天我都遇见那个小贩，他叫道：“镯子呀，亮晶晶的镯子！”

他没有什么事情急着要做，他没有哪条街一定要走，他没有什么地方一定要去，他没有什么时间一定要回家。

我愿意我是一个小贩，在街上过日子，叫着：“镯子呀，亮晶晶的镯子！”



下午四点，我从学校里回家。

从一家门口，我看得见一个园丁在那里掘地。

他用他的锄子，要怎么掘，便怎么掘，他被尘土污了衣裳，如果他被太阳晒黑了或是身上被打湿了，都没有人骂他。

我愿意我是一个园丁，在花园里掘地。谁也不来阻止我。



天色刚黑，妈妈就送我上床。

从开着的窗口，我看得见更夫走来走去。

小巷又黑又冷清，路灯立在那里，像一个头上生着一只红眼睛的巨人。

更夫摇着他的提灯，跟他身边的影子一起走着，他一生一次都没有上床去过。

我愿意我是一个更夫，整夜在街上走，提了灯去追逐影子。

妈妈，你的孩子真傻！她是那末可笑地不懂得事！

她不知道路灯和星星的分别。

当我们玩着把小石子当食物的游戏时，她便以为它们真是吃的东西，竟想放进嘴里去。

当我翻开一本书，放在她面前，在她读a，b，c时，她却用手把书页撕了，无端快活地叫起来，你的孩子就是这样做功课的。

当我生气地对她摇头，骂她，说她顽皮时，她却哈哈大笑，以为很有趣。

谁都知道爸爸不在家，但是，如果我在游戏时高声叫一声“爸爸”，她便要高兴地四面张望，以为爸爸真是近在身边。

当我把洗衣人带来载衣服回去的驴子当做学生，并且警告她说，我是老师，她却无缘无故地乱叫起我哥哥来。

你的孩子要捉月亮。

她是这样的可笑；她把格尼许①唤作琪奴许。

鸟的天堂
巴金

　　我们在陈的小学校里吃了晚饭。热气已经退了。太阳落下了山坡，只留下一段灿烂的红霞在天边，在山头，在树梢。

　　“我们划船去！”陈提议说。我们正站在学校门前池子旁边看山景。

　　“好，”别的朋友高兴地接口说。

　　我们走过一段石子路，很快地就到了河边。那里有—个茅草搭的水阁。穿过水阁，在河边两棵大树下我们找到了几只小船。

　　我们陆续跳在一只船上。一个朋友解开绳子，拿起竹竿一拨，船缓缓地动了，向河中间流去。

　　三个朋友划着船，我和叶坐在船中望四周的景致。

　　远远地一座塔耸立在山坡上，许多绿树拥抱着它。在这附近很少有那样的塔，那里就是朋友叶的家乡。

　　河面很宽，白茫茫的水上没有波浪。船平静地在水面流动。三只桨有规律地在水里拨动。

　　在一个地方河面变窄了。一簇簇的绿叶伸到水面来。树叶绿得可爱。这是许多棵茂盛的榕树，但是我看不出树干在什么地方。

　　我说许多棵榕树的时候，我的错误马上就给朋友们纠正了，一个朋友说那里只有一棵榕树，另一个朋友说那里的榕树是两棵。我见过不少的大榕树，但是像这样大的榕树我却是第一次看见。

　　我们的船渐渐地逼近榕树了。我有了机会看见它的真面目：是一棵大树，有着数不清的桠枝，枝上又生根，有许多根一直垂到地上，进了泥土里。一部分的树枝垂到水面，从远处看，就像一棵大树躺在水上一样。

　　现在正是枝叶繁茂的时节（树上已经结了小小的果子，而且有许多落下来了。）这棵榕树好像在把它的全部生命力展览给我们看。那么多的绿叶，一簇堆在另一簇上面，不留一点缝隙。翠绿的颜色明亮地在我们的眼前闪耀，似乎每一片树叶上都有一个新的生命在颤动，这美丽的南国的树！

　　船在树下泊了片刻，岸上很湿，我们没有上去。朋友说这里是“鸟的天堂”，有许多只鸟在这棵树上做窝，农民不许人捉它们。我仿佛听见几只鸟扑翅的声音，但是等到我的眼睛注意地看那里时，我却看不见一只鸟的影子。只有无数的树根立在地上，像许多根木桩。地是湿的，大概涨潮时河水常常冲上岸去。“鸟的天堂” 里没有一只鸟，我这样想道。船开了。一个朋友拨着船，缓缓地流到河中间去。

　　在河边田畔的小径里有几棵荔枝树。绿叶丛中垂着累累的红色果子。我们的船就往那里流去。一个朋友拿起桨把船拨进一条小沟。在小径旁边，船停住了，我们都跳上了岸。

　　两个朋友很快地爬到树上去，从树上抛下几枝带叶的荔枝，我同陈和叶三个人站在树下接。等到他们下地以后，我们大家一面吃荔枝，一面走回船上去。

　　第二天我们划着船到叶的家乡去，就是那个有山有塔的地方。从陈的小学校出发，我们又经过那个“鸟的天堂”。

　　这一次是在早晨，阳光照在水面上，也照在树梢。一切都显得非常明亮。我们的船也在树下泊了片刻。

　　起初四周非常清静。后来忽然起了一声鸟叫。朋友陈把手一拍，我们便看见一只大鸟飞起来，接着又看见第二只，第三只。我们继续拍掌。很快地这个树林变得很热闹了。到处都是鸟声，到处都是鸟影。大的，小的，花的，黑的，有的站在枝上叫，有的飞起来，有的在扑翅膀。

　　我注意地看。我的眼睛真是应接不暇，看清楚这只，又看漏了那只，看见了那只，第三只又飞走了。一只画眉飞了出来，给我们的拍掌声一惊，又飞进树林，站在一根小枝上兴奋地唱着，它的歌声真好听。

　　“走吧，”叶催我道。

　　小船向着高塔下面的乡村流去的时候，我还回过头去看留在后面的茂盛的榕树。我有一点的留恋的心情。昨天我的眼睛骗了我。“鸟的天堂”的确是鸟的天堂啊！

我的哥哥呢，我要送他一对有翼的马，会在云端飞翔的。

你呢，妈妈，我一定要把那个值七个王国的首饰箱和珠宝送给你。

THE LITTLE BIG MAN

I AM small because I am a little child. I shall be big when I am as old as my father is.

My teacher will come and say, "It is late, bring your slate and your books."

I shall tell him, "Do you not know I am as big as father? And I must not have lessons any more."

My master will wonder and say, "He can leave his books if he likes, for he is grown up."



I shall dress myself and walk to the fair where the crowd is thick.

My uncle will come rushing up to me and say, "You will get lost, my boy; let me carry you."

I shall answer, "Can’t you see, uncle, I am as big as father. I must go to the fair alone."

Uncle will say, "Yes, he can go wherever he likes, for he is grown up."



Mother will come from her bath when I am giving money to my nurse, for I shall know how to open the box with my key.

Mother will say, "What are you about, naughty child?"

I shall tell her, "Mother, don’t you know, I am as big as father, and I must give silver to my nurse."

Mother will say to herself, "He can give money to whom he likes, for he is grown up."



In the holiday time in October father will come home and, thinking that I am still a baby, will bring for me from the town little shoes and small silken frocks.

I shall say, "Father, give them to my dâdâ [elder brother], for I am as big as you are."

I can easily imagine now that the sun has reached the edge of that rice-field, and the old fisher-woman is gathering herbs for her supper by the side of the pond.

I can just shut my eyes and think that the shadows are growing darker under the madar tree, and the water in the pond looks shiny black.

你说爸爸写了许多书，但我却不懂得他所写的东西。

他整个黄昏读书给你听，但是你真懂得他的意思么？

妈妈，你给我们讲的故事，真是好听呀！我很奇怪，爸爸为什么不能写那样的书呢？

难道他从来没有从他自己的妈妈那里听见过巨人和神仙和公主的故事么？

还是已经完全忘记了？



他常常耽误了沐浴，你不得不走去叫他一百多次。

你总要等候着，把他的菜温着等他，但他忘了，还尽管写下去。

爸爸老是以著书为游戏。

如果我一走进爸爸房里去游戏，你就要走来叫道：“真是一个顽皮的孩子！”

如果我稍为出一点声音，你就要说：“你没有看见你爸爸正在工作么？”

老是写了又写，有什么趣味呢？



当我拿起爸爸的钢笔或铅笔，像他一模一样地在他的书上写着，a，b，c，d，e，f，g，h，i，——那时，你为什么跟我生气呢，妈妈？

爸爸写时，你却从来不说一句话。

当我写好了时，你以为我也像爸爸那样傻，把它投入可怕的邮差的袋中么？

我立刻就自己送来给你，而且一个字母，一个字母地帮助你读。

我知道那邮差是不肯把真正的好信送给你的。

那几天ALASKA 50 度左右, 细雨朦朦. 倒是没晒到.
船上FOOD 丰盛, 水果, 色拉, 三文鱼等, 应有尽有, 花样齐全.  回程晕船厉害, 没什么食欲, 所以一天仍HIKING 一次就够了. :)

现在仍有在海浪上BOBBING 的感觉. 匆匆上传几张照片给你瞧.

I AM small because I am a little child. I shall be big when I am as old as my father is.

My teacher will come and say, "It is late, bring your slate and your books."
我的老师将走过来, 说, “时候晚了, 拿来你的石板和书本.”

I shall tell him, "Do you not know I am as big as father? And I must not have lessons any more."

我人很小，因为我是一个小孩子，到了我像爸爸一样年纪时，便要变大了。

我的先生要是走来说道：“时候晚了，把你的石板，你的书拿来。”

我便要告诉他道：“你不知道我已经同爸爸一样大了么？

我决不再学什么功课了。”

我的老师便将惊异地说道：“他读书不读书可以随便，因为他是大人了。”



我将自己穿了衣裳，走到人群拥挤的市场里去。

我的叔叔要是跑过来说道：“你要迷路了，我的孩子，让我领着你罢。”

我便要回答道：“你没有看见么，叔叔，我已经同爸爸一样大了？我决定要独自一个人到市场里去。”

叔叔便将说道：“是的，他随便到哪里去都可以，因为他是大人了。”



当我正拿钱给我保姆时，妈妈便要从浴室中出来，因为我是知道怎样用我的钥匙去开银箱的。

妈妈要是说道：“你在做什么呀，顽皮的孩子？”

我便要告诉她道：“妈妈，你不知道我已经同爸爸一样大了么？我必须拿钱给保姆。”

妈妈便将自言自语道：“他可以随便把钱给他所喜欢的人，因为他是大人了。”



当十月里放假的时候，爸爸将要回家，他会以为我还是一个小孩子，为我从城里带了小鞋子和小绸衫来。

我便要说道：“爸爸，把这些东西给哥哥罢，因为我已经同你一样大了。”

爸爸便将想了一想，说道；“他可以随便去买他自己穿的衣裳，因为他是大人了。”

谢谢云天。很感动。你孩子小，将来你才能体会老花何以神神叨叨。

你说要开线译 Kahlil Gibran 的《先知》，我前天逛书店，遂买了 audio CD ‘Prophet’。一听，是queen’s English，那读者喉里舌间带着收音机短波和积唾似的噪声。我发现许多audio book 是那样的。要是你阿雾书菲读就好了。（我知道不该挑剔声音的，此是老花买椟还珠又一例 ）

可是你别忙开线，多陪孩子吧。我正惶惶如丧家之犬；我以后跟起来，也会极慢。不用回我。顺祝夏安。

云天

花木, 你别客气啊. 读你的美文我总是很感动. 你驾驭文字的能力常令我惊叹!
你有空多"神神叨叨".

据说写《先知》时纪伯伦才十四岁. 神人哪.
泰翁的"新月集"读完后, 还想贴《吉檀迦利》等. 那么双线并行?
我常是心有余的说.

若是阿雾书菲等来读, 我求之不得呢. :)
同你们比我自惭声秽.  不过改天一定抛砖引玉.

你美丽的小小鸟很快就会飞回来的. :)    你的美文令我想到三毛"守望的天使".

You say it is only twelve o’clock. Suppose it isn’t any later; can’t you ever think it is afternoon when it is only twelve o’clock?
你说才十二点。假设不是更晚；　你难道不可以认为十二点时就是下午了吗？

I can easily imagine now that the sun has reached the edge of that rice-field, and the old fisher-woman is gathering herbs for her supper by the side of the pond.
我轻而易举就能想象到，太阳已移到那片稻田的边缘，一个老渔妇在池塘边为晚餐采野菜的光景。

I can just shut my eyes and think that the shadows are growing darker under the madar tree, and the water in the pond looks shiny black.
我只要闭上眼就能想象到，MADAR 树下的影子正暗下来，池塘里的水看起来泛着黑亮的光。

If twelve o’clock can come in the night, why can’t the night come when it is twelve o’clock?
如果十二点开以在夜里来临，　那么为什么夜晚不能在十二点时来临呢？

十二点钟
郑振铎

妈妈，我真想现在不做功课了。我整个早晨都在念书呢。

你说，现在还不过是十二点钟。假定不会晚过十二点罢；

难道你不能把不过是十二点钟想象成下午么？

我能够容容易易地想象：现在太阳已经到了那片稻田的边缘上了，老态龙钟的渔婆正在池边采撷香草作她的晚餐。

我闭上了眼就能够想到，马塔尔树下的阴影是更深黑了，池塘里的水看来黑得发亮。

假如十二点钟能够在黑夜里来到，为什么黑夜不能在十二点钟的时候来到呢？

你说爸爸写了许多书，但我却不懂得他所写的东西。
You say father has written many books, but I can’t understand what he wrote.

他整个黄昏读书给你听，但是你真懂得他的意思么？
At dusk he kept reading to you, but did you really know what he meant?

妈妈，你给我们讲的故事，真是好听呀！我很奇怪，爸爸为什么不能写那样的书呢？
Mother, the stories you told us are so interesting! I wonder why Father can’t write books like those.

难道他从来没有从他自己的妈妈那里听见过巨人和神仙和公主的故事么？
Hasn’t he ever heard of stories of Giants, fairies, and princesses from his own mother?

还是已经完全忘记了？
Or he’s forgotten them all?


他常常耽误了沐浴，你不得不走去叫他一百多次。
He’s often late for his bath, and you have to go call him more than a hundred times.

你总要等候着，把他的菜温着等他，但他忘了，还尽管写下去。
You always have to wait and warm up his dishes for him, but he forgets and continues writing.

爸爸老是以著书为游戏。
For father, writing books is always his game.

如果我一走进爸爸房里去游戏，你就要走来叫道：“真是一个顽皮的孩子！”
If I just step into father’s room to play, you’ll come and call me, “What a naughty child!”

如果我稍为出一点声音，你就要说：“你没有看见你爸爸正在工作么？”
If I make a slight noise, you’ll say, “Can’t you see your dad is working?”

老是写了又写，有什么趣味呢？
He always writes and writes, what’s the fun?



当我拿起爸爸的钢笔或铅笔，像他一模一样地在他的书上写着，a，b，c，d，e，f，g，h，i，——那时，你为什么跟我生气呢，妈妈？
When I hold dad’s pen or pencil and write a, b, c, d, e, f, g , h，i , just like him on his book ----- At that time, why are you mad with me, mother?

爸爸写时，你却从来不说一句话。
But when dad writes, you never say a word.

当我爸爸耗费了那末一大堆纸时，妈妈，你似乎全不在乎。
When my father wastes such a huge pile of paper, mother, you seem not to care at all.

但是，如果我只取了一张纸去做一只船，你却要说：“孩子，你真讨厌！”
But, if I just take one piece of paper to make a boat, you’ll say, “My child, you are so annoying!”

你对于爸爸拿黑点子涂满了纸的两面，污损了许多许多张纸，你心里以为怎样呢？

AUTHORSHIP
TAGORE

YOU say that father writes a lot of books, but what he writes I don’t understand.

He was reading to you all the evening, but could you really make out what he meant?

What nice stories, mother, you can tell us! Why can’t father write like that, I wonder?

Did he never hear from his own mother stories of giants and fairies and princesses?

Has he forgotten them all?

Often when he gets late for his bath you have to go and call him an hundred times.

You wait and keep his dishes warm for him, but he goes on writing and forgets.

Father always plays at making books.

If ever I go to play in father’s room, you come and call me, "what a naughty child!"

If I make the slightest noise, you say, "Don’t you see that father’s at his work?"

What’s the fun of always writing and writing?

When I take up father’s pen or pencil and write upon his book just as he does,--a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i,--why do you get cross with me, then, mother?

You never say a word when father writes.

When my father wastes such heaps of paper, mother, you don’t seem to mind at all.

But if I take only one sheet to make a boat with, you say, "Child, how troublesome you are!"

What do you think of father’s spoiling sheets and sheets of paper with black marks all over on both sides?

Rain is beating through the open window, making you all wet, but you don’t mind.

你听见钟已打四下了么？正是哥哥从学校里回家的时候了。

Haven’t you got a letter from my father today?

我看见邮差在他的袋里带了许多信来，几乎镇里的每个人都分送到了。
I saw the postman bring lots of letters in his bag for almost everyone in town.


只有爸爸的信，他留起来给他自己看。我确信这个邮差是个坏人。
Only father’s letters, he keeps for himself to read. I believe he’s an evil.

但是不要因此不乐呀，亲爱的妈妈。
But please don’t feel sad just because of this, dear mother.

明天是邻村市集的日子。你叫女仆去买些笔和纸来。
Tomorrow is the market day in the neighboring village. You can ask the maid to go buy some pens and paper.

我自己会写爸爸所写的一切信；使你找不出一点错处来。
I myself can write all the letters from father; you can’t even find one mistake.

我要从A字一直写到K字。
I’ll write from letter A all the way to K.

但是，妈妈，你为什么笑呢？
But, mother, why are you laughing?

你不相信我能写得同爸爸一样好！
You don’t believe I can write as nicely as father does!

但是我将用心画格子，把所有的字母都写得又大又美。
But I’ll draw the lines carefully, and write all the letters large and beautifully.

当我写好了时，你以为我也像爸爸那样傻，把它投入可怕的邮差的袋中么？
After I’m done with writing, you think I’ll be as foolish as father and drop it into that horrible postman’s bag?

我立刻就自己送来给你，而且一个字母，一个字母地帮助你读。

What has happened to you that you look so strange?

Haven’t you got a letter from father to-day?

I saw the postman bringing letters in his bag for almost everybody in the town.

Only, father’s letters he keeps to read himself. I am sure the postman is a wicked man.

But don’t be unhappy about that, mother dear.

To-morrow is market day in the next village. You ask your maid to buy some pens and papers.

I myself will write all father’s letters; you will not find a single mistake.

I shall write from A right up to K.

But, mother, why do you smile?

You don’t believe that I can write as nicely as father does!

But I shall rule my paper carefully, and write all the letters beautifully big.

When I finish my writing, do you think I shall be so foolish as father and drop it into the horrid postman’s bag?

I shall bring it to you myself without waiting, and letter by letter help you to read my writing.

I know the postman does not like to give you the really nice letters.

THE HERO
TAGORE

MOTHER, let us imagine we are travelling, and passing through a strange and dangerous country.

You are riding in a palanquin and I am trotting by you on a red horse.

It is evening and the sun goes down. The waste of Joradighi lies wan and grey before us. The land is desolate and barren.

You are frightened and thinking--"I know not where we have come to."

I say to you, "Mother, do not be afraid."



The meadow is prickly with spiky grass, and through it runs a narrow broken path.

There are no cattle to be seen in the wide field; they have gone to their village stalls.

It grows dark and dim on the land and sky, and we cannot tell where we are going.

Suddenly you call me and ask me in a whisper, "What light is that near the bank?"



Just then there bursts out a fearful yell, and figures come running towards us.

You sit crouched in your palanquin and repeat the names of the gods in prayer.

The bearers, shaking in terror, hide themselves in the thorny bush.

I shout to you, "Don’t be afraid, mother. I am here."



With long sticks in their hands and hair all wild about their heads, they come nearer and nearer.

I shout, "Have a care! you villains! One step more and you are dead men."

They give another terrible yell and rush forward.

You clutch my hand and say, "Dear boy, for heaven’s sake, keep away from them."

I say, "Mother, just you watch me."



Then I spur my horse for a wild gallop, and my sword and buckler clash against each other.

The fight becomes so fearful, mother, that it would give you a cold shudder could you see it from your palanquin.

Many of them fly, and a great number are cut to pieces.

I know you are thinking, sitting all by yourself, that your boy must be dead by this time.

But I come to you all stained with blood, and say, "Mother, the fight is over now."

You come out and kiss me, pressing me to your heart, and you say to yourself,

"I don’t know what I should do if I hadn’t my boy to escort me."



A thousand useless things happen day after day, and why couldn’t such a thing come true by chance?

It would be like a story in a book.

My brother would say, "Is it possible? I always thought he was so delicate!"

Our village people would all say in amazement, "Was it not lucky that the boy was with his mother?"

告　别
郑振铎译

是我走的时候了，妈妈，我走了。

当清寂的黎明，你在暗中伸出双臂，要抱你睡在床上的孩子时，我要说道：“孩子不在那里呀！”——妈妈，我走了。

我要变成一股清风抚摸着你；我要变成水的涟漪，当你浴时，把你吻了又吻。

大风之夜，当雨点在树叶中淅沥时，你在床上，会听见我的微语，当电光从开着的窗口闪进你的屋里时，我的笑声也偕了它一同闪进了。

如果你醒着躺在床上，想你的孩子到深夜，我便要从星空向你唱道：“睡呀！妈妈，睡呀。”

我要坐在各处游荡的月光上，偷偷地来到你的床上，乘你睡着时，躺在你的胸上。

我要变成一个梦儿，从你的眼皮的微缝中，钻到你睡眠的深处。当你醒来吃惊地四望时，我便如闪耀的萤火似地熠熠地向暗中飞去了。

当普耶节日①，邻舍家的孩子们来屋里游玩时，我便要融化在笛声里，整日价在你心头震荡。

亲爱的阿姨带了普耶礼②来，问道：“我们的孩子在哪里，姊姊？”妈妈，你将要柔声地告诉她：“他呀，他现在是在我的瞳仁里，他现在是在我的身体里，在我的灵魂里。”  

①普耶（Puja），意为“祭神大典”，这里的“普耶节”，是指印度十月间的“难近母祭日”。
②普耶礼就是指这个节日亲友相互馈送的礼物。

THE RECALL
TAGORE

THE night was dark when she went away, and they slept.

The night is dark now, and I call for her, "Come back, my darling; the world is asleep; and no one would know, if you came for a moment while stars are gazing at stars."

She went away when the trees were in bud and the spring was young.

Now the flowers are in high bloom and I call, "Come back, my darling. The children gather and scatter flowers in reckless sport. And if you come and take one little blossom no one will miss it."

Those that used to play are playing still, so spendthrift is life.

I listen to their chatter and call, "Come back, my darling, for mother’s heart is full to the brim with love, and if you come to snatch only one little kiss from her no one will grudge it."
