The Journey旅程

by Mary Oliver玛丽·奥利弗

播音：James

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began,

though the voices around you

kept shouting

their bad advice –

though the whole house

began to tremble

and you felt the old tug

at your ankles.

‘Mend my life!’

each voice cried.

But you didn’t stop.

You knew what you had to do,

though the wind pried

with its stiff fingers

at the very foundations –

though their melancholy

was terrible.It was already late

enough, and a wild night,

and the road full of fallen

branches and stones.

But little by little,

as you left their voices behind,

the stars began to burn

through the sheets of clouds,

and there was a new voice,

which you slowly

recognized as your own,

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world,

determined to do

the only thing you could do –

determined to save

the only life you could save.

有一天，你终于知道 

你必须做什么，并开始去做， 

虽然你周围的声音 

一直喊叫 

他们的坏建议 

虽然整个房子 

开始发抖 

而你感到古老的绳索 

绊住你的脚踝。 

“改善我的生活！” 

每个声音哭喊着。 

但你不停止。 

你知道你必须做什么， 

虽然风用它僵硬的手指 

撬动 

这个根基， 

虽然他们的忧郁 

着实可怕。 

天已经 

晚了，一个疯狂的夜晚， 

路上塞满了 

断枝和石头。 

但是，渐渐地， 

你将他们的声音抛在身后， 

星星穿透云层 

散发光辉， 

一个新的声音出现 

你慢慢 

意识到，它是你自己的声音， 

伴随着你 

当你越来越深地 

步入世界， 

决定去做 

你唯一能做的事— 

决定去拯救 

你唯一能拯救的生活。

玛丽·奥利弗Mary Oliver, ，当代美国诗人，以书写自然著称。 1935年9月10日生于俄亥俄州枫树岭， 13岁开始写诗 。这首诗鼓舞了无数人勇敢地挣脱束缚，去认识真正的自己，去倾听和回应来自灵魂深处的呼唤。
