水鸟

作者：艾青

两只水鸟浮动在水边
乌篷船里发出了枪声
一只在惊怖中逃逸了
另一只挣扎在受伤的痛苦里
它的翅翼无力地拍着水面
又迷乱地飞了几圈
才慢慢地向上举起
终于朝江岸的岩石
与丛林间飞去……

此刻
它在岩石的隙缝间
用自己的嘴抚自己的创伤
在寂寞的哀鸣里
期待着伴侣的来临

1940年 夫夷江上


WATER BIRDS

WR. by Aiqing
TR. by Yuanmei

Two water birds were floating at the waterside
When a gunshot sounded from a dark-awninged boat
One escaped in fright
Yet the other struggled in pain
Beating its feeble wings on the water
Wandering in a few rounds
Finally raised itself slowly
And flew to the rocks at the riverside
Then into the woods...

Now
It must be hiding in a rock rift
Curing itself with its own beak
And waiting for its partner
In plaintive cries of loneliness

(in 1940; On Fuyi River)
