      【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,像看

一只小鹰 完成首次单飞

 


长长呼出一口气

 


十八年前

他们将他带到这个世界上

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 ——

A long deep exhale

 

Eighteen years ago

They brought him into this world

Tracking started from then on, until

hearts stop beating

                  【成长痛】

 


                   文/天玉之

 


带你去银行开了账户 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, 可是

 


你仍然会感到不自在 陌生 不安

有时 心会因想家而丝丝作痛 

还可能会丢失一些东西 犯一些错误

亲爱的孩子,Hakuna Matata,

那些都是最有可能经历的 “成长痛”

 


就像现在 爸爸妈妈正在经历着 ——

仿佛悬崖上的一对老鹰,第一次

看小鹰单飞,屏住呼吸

努力忍住想要俯冲下去 陪伴你的冲动

 


Hakuna Matata, 我们也同样告诉自己

等待着圆满飞回的 

一个羽翼丰满 崭新的你

                          Growing Pain 

 


                          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

Hold back their impulses to dive down and accompany you

 


Hakuna Matata, we tell ourselves the same

Wait for your successful fly back

As a full-fledged, brand new you
