艾青 《鱼化石》
动作多么活泼，
精力多么旺盛，
在浪花里跳跃，
在大海里浮沉；
不幸遇到火山爆发
也可能是地震，
你失去了自由，
被理进了灰尘；
过了多少亿年，
地质勘探队员，
在岩层里发现你，
依然栩栩如生。
但你是沉默的，
连叹息也没有，
鳞和鳍都完整，
却不能动弹；
你绝对的静止，
对外界毫无反应，
看不见天和水，
听不见浪花的声音。
凝视着一片化石，
傻瓜也得到教训：
离开了运动，
就没有生命。
活着就要斗争，
在斗争中前进，
即使死亡，
能量也要发挥干净。
Fish Fossil
Ai Qing
With such agility in your movements,
Such buoyancy in your strength,
You leaped in the foam
And swam in the sea.
Unfortunately a volcano’s eruption
Or perhaps an earthquake
Cost you your freedom
And buried you in the silt.
After millions of years
Members of a geological team
Found you in a layer of rock
And you still look alive.
But you are now silent,
Without even a sign.
You scales and fines are whole
But you cannot move.
So absolutely motionless,
You have no reaction to the world.
You cannot see the water or the sky,
You cannot hear the sound of the waves.
Gazing at this fossil,
Even a fool can learn a lot:
Without movement
There is no life.
To live is to struggle
And advance in the struggle;
Even if death is not at our doorstep,
We should use our energy to the fullest.
