雙語|現(xiàn)代散文:張曉風 我喜歡

I Love… 我喜歡

◎ Zhang Xiaofeng ◎ 張曉風

I love the winter sun spreading out behind the morning haze．I love the pervading calm and peace of the moment as well as the light and warmth quietly brought by the sun.

我喜歡冬天的陽光，在迷茫的晨霧中展開。我喜歡那份寧靜淡遠，我喜歡那沒有喧嘩的光和熱。

I love to saunter in the spring breeze on a narrow mountain path bedecked with strawberries growing graciously like delicate red lanterns．I love to look up at treetops to watch tiny buds with their tender yellowish green tinged with an artless pink.

我喜歡在春風中踏過窄窄的山徑，草莓像個精致的紅燈籠，一路殷勤地張結著。我喜歡抬頭看樹梢尖尖的小芽兒，極嫩的黃綠色里透著一派天真的粉紅。

I love the long days of summer．I love to sit by myself on a hillside balcony on a windy summer afternoon，watching rice rippling in the valley and sending forth its aroma．When the splendid evening clouds are gone，gentle stars will take their places in the sky one after another.

我喜歡夏日的永晝，我喜歡在多風的黃昏獨坐在傍山的陽臺上。小山谷里稻浪推涌，美好的稻香翻騰著。慢慢地，絢麗的云霞被浣凈了，柔和的晚星一一就位。

I love to watch the pretty but forlorn Chinese silvergrass，of a dreary white，growing against the autumn wind all over the hills—on the slopes，by the waterside.

我喜歡看秋風里滿山的芒。在山坡上，在水邊上，白得那樣凄凉，美而孤獨。

I love dreams，in which I enjoy seeing strange things．I always dream of myself flying in the air and jumping over small hillocks and rivers．I dreamed of a chestnut steed tossing its glossy mane in the wind．I dreamed of a boundless sea of lotus flowers flaunting their faint fragrance and pink colour from afar．The most unforgettable dream I have ever had is about myself watching the sunrise in front of a mountain，which，originally emerald，looked bizarre by taking on a purple colour under the rising sun of the early dawn．In real life，I love mountains too.

我也喜歡夢，喜歡夢里奇異的享受。我總是夢見自己能飛，能躍過山丘和小河。我夢見棕色的駿馬，發(fā)亮的鬈毛在風中飛揚。我夢見荷花海，完全沒有邊際，遠遠在炫耀著模糊的香紅。最難忘記那次夢見在一座紫色的山巒前看日出——它原來必定不是紫色的，只是翠嵐映著初升的紅日，遂在夢中幻出那樣奇特的山景。在現(xiàn)實生活里，我同樣喜歡山。

I love level and glossy rice fields with seedlings growing so tightly together that they resemble as many hairy blankets，tempting me to lie down on them.

我喜歡看一塊塊平平整整、油油亮亮的秧田。那細小的禾苗密密地排在一起，好像一張多絨的毯子，總是激發(fā)我想在上面躺一躺的欲望。

I love flowers of all kinds．I love slender chrysanthemums，exuberant roses，untarnished lilies and leisurely jasmine．I also love unknown little wild flowers tucked away in remote mountains．I quite believe that they have been endowed with equal dignity and honour by the Creator.

我還喜歡花，不管是哪一種，我喜歡清瘦的秋菊，濃郁的玫瑰，孤潔的百合，以及幽閑的素馨。我也喜歡開在深山里不知名的小野花。我十分相信上帝在造萬花的時候，賦給它們同樣的尊榮。

I love another kind of flower—the smile on a human face．One freezing morning，when I，walking down an alley，was greeted with a smile and“Good morning！”by a thin lady living in a house opposite to mine，I suddenly felt that the world was so warm and my gloved fingers were no longer numb with cold．Once，I was delighted to meet some middle school girls with bobbed hair at a bus station．I loved to see their beautiful，clean and broad foreheads，and their lively，limpid eyes.

我喜歡另一種花兒，是綻開在人們笑頰上的。當寒冷的早晨我走在巷子里，對門那位清癯的太太笑著說：“早！”我就忽然覺得世界是這樣的親切，我縮在皮手套里的指頭不再感覺發(fā)僵。到了車站開始等車的時候，我喜歡看見短發(fā)齊耳的中學生。我喜歡她們美好寬闊又明凈的額頭，以及活潑清澈的眼神。

I love to read letters．I love to hear from my brothers and sisters．Their naive and simple sentences make me recall tearfully my old home in the south—a small town aflame with the red flowers of flame trees．I'll never forget how one summer a tree leaf sent by my husband from a remote high mountain made me feel at once happy and refreshed on the sultry day.

我喜歡讀信。我喜歡弟弟妹妹的信，那些幼稚純樸的句子，總使我在淚光中重新看見南方那燃遍鳳凰花的小城。最不能忘記那年夏天，他從最高的山上為我寄來一片蕨類植物的葉子。在那樣酷暑的氣候中，我忽然感到甜蜜而又沁人的清涼。

I love，in particular，letters from my readers．It always gives me extraordinary thrill to read their letters．I may have wised up some people to something in this world.

我特別喜愛讀者的來信。每次捧讀這些信件，總讓我覺得一種特殊的激動。在這世上，也許有人已透過我看見一些東西。

I also love reading books，especially at night．I cherish a deep love for thread-bound Chinese books yellowed with age．They show me our most brilliant traditions as well as a kind of classical beauty．While the rise and fall of a nation and the vicissitudes of life are all vanity，the wisdom contained in books is everlasting.

我還喜歡看書，特別是在夜晚。在書籍里面，我不能自抑地要喜愛那些泛黃的線裝書，握著它就覺得握著一脈優(yōu)美的傳統(tǒng)，那澀黯的紙面蘊含著一種古典的美。歷史的興亡、人物的迭代本是這樣虛幻，惟有書中的智慧永遠長存。

I love to have friends．I love to pay them a surprise visit．I love to knock at a friend's wet door on a rainy day．When he or she comes out hurriedly to meet me，I feel as if the rain had suddenly stopped and the sun were shining bright.

我喜歡朋友，喜歡在出其不意的時候去拜訪他們，尤其喜歡在雨中去叩濕濕的大門。當她連跑帶跳地來迎接我，雨云后的陽光就似乎忽然熾燃起來。

I also love to sit by a window to wait for my husband to come back．I can always distinguish his footfall among those of many pedestrians before our home．On hearing someone who quickens his steps the moment he enters the lane and walks with heavy rapid strides，I'm sure it's my husband．I love to hear him turning his key in the lock．I love to hear him calling out my name gaspingly as soon as he steps across our threshold.

我也喜歡坐在窗前等他回家。雖然走過我家門的行人那樣多，我總能分辨出他的足音。如果有一個腳步聲，一入巷子就開始跑，而且聽起來是沉重急速的大闊步，那就準是他回來了！我喜歡他把鑰匙放進門鎖的聲音，我喜歡聽他一進門就喘著氣喊我的名字。

I love to live a relaxed and leisurely life．I don't like a tight schedule．I don't like an elaborately arranged program．I love many objects of no practical use．I love to leaf through an old photo album．I love small ornaments like ear-rings，necklaces and brooches．I love to have enough time for meditation．I love to enjoy myself sitting in the drawing room after supper．I love to listen to a concerto while holding a small fine-china teapot to warm my hands．At a moment like this，I seem to taste of the leisureliness of idyllic life.

我喜歡松散而閑適的生活，我不喜歡精密地分配時間，不喜歡緊張地安排節(jié)目。我喜歡許多不實用的東西，我喜歡舊東西，喜歡翻舊相片。我喜歡美麗的小裝飾品，像耳環(huán)、項鏈和胸針。我喜歡充足的沉思時間。我喜歡晚飯后坐在客廳里的時分。我喜歡聽一些協(xié)奏曲，一面捧著細瓷的小茶壺暖手。當此之時，我就恍惚能夠想象一些田園生活的悠閑。

I also love to go cycling to church side by side with my husband on an early Sunday morning．Riding against the sun's golden rays，I feel as if I were gliding along not on a bike，but in a motorboat，braving the wind and waves.

我也喜歡和他并排騎著自行車，于星期天在黎明的道上一起赴教堂。朝陽的金波向兩旁濺開，我遂覺得那不是一輛腳踏車，而是一艘乘風破浪的飛艇在滑行。

I love life．And I'm very glad that my heart is overflowing with so much happiness.

我喜歡活著，而且深深地喜歡能在我心里充滿著這樣多的喜歡！
