城中城

勿须万水千山的跋涉，
转个弯，便将我带进
又一座名城。

这一刻，还是
杭州路上的行人，
下一刻，又站成
苏州路旁的风景。

夏日炎炎呵，躲在
浓郁树荫下的人们，
是否都有着
与我一样的心情——

渴盼着三脚两步
赶到济南路，
躲进济南的冬天，
那一座遥远的城？


Cities Within A City

No need to travel widely,
Taking a turn, I am
In another famous city.

At the moment, you are only
A passerby in Hangzhou Street,
Yet next, you’ll be standing
As a view in Suzhou Street.

What a hot summer day!
People hiding in the shade,
Are they, too, longing –

Longing to rush onto Jinan Street,
And hide in the winter of Jinan,
The city so far away?

Cities in a City

勿须万水千山的跋涉，
转个弯，便将我带进
又一座名城。

Needless to trudge far,
just a turn can take me
into another famous city.

这一刻，还是
杭州路上的行人，
下一刻，又站成
苏州路旁的风景。

This moment, I am only
a passerby on Hangzhou Road,
yet next moment, I will stand
as a view on Suzhou Road.

夏日炎炎呵，躲在
浓郁树荫下的人们，
是否都有着
与我一样的心情——

What a hot summer day!
People hiding in the shade,
Are you same eager as me --

渴盼着三脚两步
赶到济南路，
躲进济南的冬天，
那一座遥远的城？

to hurry to Jinan Road,
and hide in the winter of Jinan,
a city so far away?
