林徽因·《忆》英译

新年等在窗外，一缕香，

枝头刚放出一半朵红。

心在转，你曾说过的

几句话，白鸽似的盘旋。

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

我不曾忘，也不能忘

那天的天澄清的透蓝，

太阳带点暖，斜照在

每棵树梢头，像凤凰。

      

是你在笑，仰脸望，

多少勇敢话那天，你我

全说了，——像张风筝

向蓝穹，凭一线力量。

 

Memory

Lin Huiyin

 

New Year waits outside the window, with fragrance

Of half a red flower just bursting out of the branch.

My heart is beating, your previous words

Hovering like a white dove.

 

I will not and could not forget that day

with blue sky being clear and transparent,

The warm sunlight slanting on to

The top of each tree, like a phoenix.

 

You were smiling, looking up with an upturning face.

How many brave words we said to each other

That day, as a kite flying

To the blue sky, by the strain of a thread.
