What is dust?
The sign breathed from the lung of earth.
What is rain?
The last passenger gets off from the train of clouds.
What is shadow?
The other body of body.
What is mirror?
The eyes that gaze at eyes.
(Adonis, Syrian poet, b.1930)
什么是尘土?
从大地之肺发出的叹息。
什么是雨?
从乌云的列车上
下来的最后一位旅客。
什么是影子?
身体的另一个身体。
什么是镜子?
注视眼睛的眼睛。
(阿多尼斯,叙利亚诗人,生于1930年)
