Trees by Ai Qing ~ 艾青 《树》 with English Translations

作品原文

艾青 《树》

一棵树，一棵树
彼此孤离地兀立着
风与空气
告诉着它们的距离

但是在泥土的覆盖下
它们的根生长着
在看不见的深处
它们把根须纠缠在一起

英文译文

Trees
Ai Qing

One tree, another tree,
Each standing alone and erect
The wind and air
Tell their distance apart

But beneath the cover of earth
Their roots reach out
And at depths that cannot be seen
The roots of the trees intertwine
