长城 THE GREAT WALL

[和平岛]

长城
文／非马

1
文明与
野蛮的争斗
何其艰烈

你看这长城
蜿蜒起伏
无止无休


2
是什么样的浪漫豪情
使我们争先攀登
高耸嶙峋的背脊
去瞻望
自动调距的镜头里
萋萋的岁月
蜿蜒万里的
龙的残骸


THE GREAT WALL
By William Marr

1
the struggle between civilization
and barbarism
must be ferocious

see this Great Wall
it twists and turns
with no end in sight

2
what valor
to climb the ragged ridge
and to look long and hard
through a self-adjusting lens
at the skeleton of the dragon
that sprawls miles and miles
in the wasteland
of time
