梅绍静·《三片叶子》英译

三片嫩叶像三只绿色的小鸟儿，

骄傲地站在树桩上。

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

树桩只发出这一条绿茎，

绿茎上只有这三只小鸟。

可爱的小东西啊，

它们还要为砍断的树桩歌唱。

即使只有这三片绿叶也要向世界呼喊，

让人们永远憧憬那被剥夺的满树春光。

Three Leaves

Mei Shaojing

Three snips of tender leaves like three green birds

Proudly stand on the tree trunk.

The trunk sends forth only one green twig,

Where three birds perch.

What lovable little creatures they are!

They’re still singing for this felled tree.

Though only three small leaves, they still shout to the world,

Reminding people of the tree’s full glory of spring now ravished.

（Julia C. Lin 译）
