纪伯伦与《沙与沫》

《沙与沫》

英文名：Kahlil Gibran（1883～1931），黎巴嫩诗人、作家、画家。被称为“艺术天才”、“黎巴嫩文坛骄子”，是阿拉伯现代小说、艺术和散文的主要奠基人，20世纪阿拉伯新文学道路的开拓者之一。他开拓了二十世纪阿拉伯现代小说与艺术散文的创新之路以独树一帜的散文诗创造了“纪伯伦风格”。他与印度诗人泰戈尔齐名，并称为“站在东西方文化桥梁的两位巨人”。

纪·哈·纪伯伦

《沙与沫》是纪伯伦最著名的作品之一。整部诗集内容富有哲理充满智慧，是一本关于生命、艺术、爱情、人性的格言书，值得反复品读。除了哲理以外，诗集还富于音韵之美，宛如天籁，传达出生命的爱和真谛，让那些困顿彷徨的人们，都能得到慰藉和鼓舞！诗文超越了时空、国界的限制，字句中蕴含深刻的哲理，体现了人类共同的情感，满足了不同心灵的不同需求。“一花一世界，一沙一天国”，在纪伯伦的故事里，四季流转，云朵变幻。生命的解答蕴藏其中，只要你善于发掘。《沙与沫》与泰戈尔的《飞鸟集》可称双璧，二者都以简短而寓意隽永的诗句，一点一滴地深入读者的心灵，而纪伯伦的《沙与沫》比起《飞鸟集》的灵动洒脱，则更显端庄大气，更具丰富的想象力，比起泰戈尔对一花一草的关注，纪伯伦往往将目光投向更显得深邃而遥远的宇宙。就像他说的，“对于从银河的窗户里向下望的人，空间就不是地球与太阳之间的空间了。”

I want to share some part of the book with you here.

I am forever walking upon these shores,

Betwixt the sand and the foam,

The high tide will erase my foot-prints,

And the wind will blow away the foam.

But the sea and the shore will remain

Forever.

我永远在沙岸上行走，

在沙土和泡沫的中间。

高潮会抹去我的脚印，

风也会把泡沫吹走。

但是海洋和沙岸

却将永远存在。

It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life. Now I know that I am the sphere, and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.

仅仅在昨天，我认为我自己只是一个碎片，无韵律地在生命的穹苍中颤抖。

现在我知道，我就是那穹苍，一切生命都是在我身体里面有韵律地转动的碎片。Remembrance is a form of meeting.

Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.

记忆是相会的一种形式。

遗忘是自由的一种形式。

Generosity is not in giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is in giving me that which you need more than I do.

慷慨不是你把我比你更需要的东西给我，而是你把你比我更需要的东西也给了我

I would be the least among men with dreams and the desire to fulfil them, rather than the greatest with no dreams and no desires.

我宁可做人类中有梦想和有完成梦想的愿望的、最渺小的人，而不愿做一个最伟大的、无梦想、无愿望的人。

Death is not nearer to the aged than to the new-born; neither is life.

死亡和老人的距离并不比和婴儿的距离更近；生命也是如此。

When either your joy or your sorrow becomes great the world becomes small.

Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death.

当你的欢乐和悲哀变大的时候，世界就变小了。

愿望是半个生命，淡漠是半个死亡。

If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

假如你对风泄露了你的秘密，你就不应当去责备风对树林泄露了秘密。
