On Eating and Drinking

Kahlil Gibran

论饮食

纪伯论

译:云天

Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by the light.

But since you must kill to eat, and rob the newly born of its mother's milk to quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship.

And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in man.

但愿你能靠大地的芬芳生存, 就象附生植物, 凭借阳光生长.

但既然你必须杀生为食, 掠夺新生动物的母乳来消渴, 那就让它成为敬拜的行为吧.

让你的餐桌做祭壇, 摆上森林与原野里纯洁无邪的动物, 它们为更纯洁更天真的人性而牺牲.

When you kill a beast say to him in your heart,

"By the same power that slays you, I too am slain; and I too shall be consumed.

For the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand.

Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven."

当你杀一头兽时, 在心里对他说,

“杀戮你的同一力量, 也会杀戮我;我也将成为食物.

因为, 把你送到我手中的律法, 将把我送到更强有力的手中.

你同我的血, 不过是滋养天堂之树的汁液.”

And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart,

"Your seeds shall live in my body,

And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,

And your fragrance shall be my breath,

And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons."

在你咀嚼苹果时, 在心里对它说,

“你的种子将活在我的身体里,

你的明日之芽将在我心中迸蕊,

你的芳香将化做我的气息,

我们将一起欢度所有的季节.”

And in the autumn, when you gather the grapes of your vineyards for the winepress, say in your heart,

"I too am a vineyard, and my fruit shall be gathered for the winepress,

And like new wine I shall be kept in eternal vessels."

And in winter, when you draw the wine, let there be in your heart a song for each cup;

And let there be in the song a remembrance for the autumn days, and for the vineyard, and for the winepress.

秋天, 当你收获葡萄园里的葡萄酿酒时, 在心里说,

“我也是一座葡萄园, 我的果子将被收集起来榨汁,

象新酒般, 我将被保存在永恒的容器里.”

冬季, 当你啜酒时, 在心中对每只酒杯都唱一首歌吧;

让歌中飘荡对秋日时光, 对葡萄园, 对榨汁机的回忆.
