【小鹰飞走了】中英文诗两首

【小鹰飞走了】
文/天玉之
两个空巢人
凌晨两点 俯身
电脑屏幕前 实时跟踪
一架航班 越洋飞行
看它缓缓着陆，像一只小鹰
完成首次单人飞行
他们长长呼出一口气
十八年前
他们把他带到这个世界上来
跟踪从此开始，直到
心脏停止跳动

An Eaglet Flies Away
By Tian Yu Zhi
Two empty nesters
At 2am in the morning, leaning over
A computer screen, tracking
A transoceanic flight in real time，
Watch it slowly land, like an eaglet
Lands its first solo flight,
They exhale a long deep breath
Eighteen years ago
They brought him into this world
Tracking started from then, until
hearts stop beating

【Hakuna Matata】
文/天玉之
带你去银行开户 拿到扣帐卡
去提款机第一次尝试了提款
在鞋店测量脚的大小 买了舒适的皮鞋, 以及
修甲盒 旅行适配器 防偷钱夹
尽管妈妈为你准备的非常齐全
尽管你去的是世界上最迷人的城市
尽管你将走在色彩斑斓的香榭丽舍大道
尽管你是个心智聪颖的小伙子, 仍然
你会感到不自在 陌生 不安
有时 心丝丝作痛 想家
你可能会丢失一些东西 或者犯一些错误
Hakuna Matata, 亲爱的
这些都是最有可能经历的 “成长痛”
就像现在 爸爸妈妈正在经历它 ——
仿佛悬崖上的一对老鹰，第一次
看着他们的小鹰开始单飞，屏住呼吸
努力忍住 想要俯冲下去 伴随你的冲动
Hakuna Matata,
我们静心等待 圆满飞回的
一个羽翼丰满 崭新的你

*写在麦克去巴黎留学一学期前夕
Hakuna Matata
By Tian Yu Zhi
Took you to the bank to open an account and get a debit card
You tried withdrawing money at an ATM for the first time
Your feet measured at a shoe store to buy a comfortable leather shoes
Also bought a manicure case, a travel adapter, and anti-theft wallet
Although your mother has prepared everything for you
You are going to the most fascinating city in the world
You will walk on the colorful Avenue des Champs-Élysées, and
You are a very bright young man, still
You will feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and uneasy
Your heart aches, sometimes, feel homesick
You might lose something, or make some mistakes
Hakuna Matata, sweetheart
These are the "growing pains" you are most likely to experience
Like right now, Mom and Dad are going through it ——
Like a pair of eagles on a cliff, for the first time
Watch their eaglet starts to fly solo, holding their breath
Try to hold back their impulses to dive down and accompany you
Hakuna Matata,
We quietly wait for your successful fly back
As a full-fledged, brand new you
