中文的魅力 （八）飞鸿踏雪

一  英文 ( A wild goose stepping on the snow)

What is it like for a person to run around in his life?  

Like a wild goose stepping on the snow, I believe.

Occasionally, it leaves a few paw prints on the snow.

But in a blink of an eye it flies far and high, 

and it  can't remember the trace below.

The monk we met before passed away, 

and his ashes were placed in a small tower built years ago. 

At that time, the wall on which our poems were inscribed was broken, 

so the old ink on it was nowhere to show.

Do you still remember the hardships when rushing for the exam?

Because of the long distance, and horses and we were too tired, and even the lame donkey could only go very slow.

二  散文

       人的一生到处奔走像什么呢？应该像飞鸿踏在雪地吧。

偶尔在雪地上留下几个爪印，但转眼它又远走高飞，哪还记得这痕迹留在何方！

奉闲已经去世，骨灰已安放到新造的那座小塔里面去了，当时在上面题诗的那堵墙壁已经坏了，因此不能再见到旧时题诗的墨迹了。

是否还记得当年赶考时的艰辛磨难，由于路途遥远，人困马乏，连那头跛脚的驴都受不了了。

三   宋词

【木兰花慢】雪泥鸿爪

          ——听东坡怀旧

世人奔波走，什么像？子瞻提。

似大雁飞翔，降行雪地，再往东西。

无疑。乱飞落下，见年年岁岁不稀奇。

泥雪偶然留爪，鸿飞那复思之。

依稀。记得大师。闻作古、骨成灰。

建塔新、已坏留言旧壁，不见诗题。

还知。奉闲僧舍，记途中住此并题诗。

往日崎岖记否，路长人困驴嘶。

四  五律

人生何像似，飞雁雪中栖。

落地留新爪，冲天忘旧泥。

老僧眠佛塔，坏壁毁诗题。

往日崎岖记，毛驴跛脚嘶。

五  七律   东坡原玉：

人生到处知何似，应似飞鸿踏雪泥。

泥上偶然留指爪，鸿飞那复计东西。

老僧已死成新塔，坏壁无由见旧题。

往日崎岖还记否，路长人困蹇驴嘶。
