导语:黎巴嫩文坛骄子卡里·纪伯伦作为哲理诗人和杰出画家,同时,他又是阿拉伯现代小说和艺术散文的主要奠基人,二十世纪阿拉伯新文学道路的开拓者之一。《沙与沫》与泰戈尔的《飞鸟集》可称双璧,二者都以简短而寓意隽永的诗句,一点一滴地深入读者的心灵。
Sand and Foam(excerpt)
I am forever walking upon these shores,between the sand and the foam.The high tide will erase my footprints,and the wind will blow away the foam.But the sea and the shore will remain forever.
It was but yesterday I thought myself a fragment quivering without rhythm in the sphere of life.Now I know that I am the sphere,and all life in rhythmic fragments moves within me.
Remembrance is a form of meeting.
Forgetfulness is a form of freedom.
My house says to me,“Do not leave me,for here dwells your past.”
And the road says to me,“Come and follow me,for I am your future.”
And I say to both my house and the road,“I have no past,nor have I a future.If I stay here,there is a going in my staying;and if I go there is a staying in my going.Only love and death will change all things.”
Strange,the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.
Seven times have I despised my soul:
The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height.
The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled.
The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy,and she chose the easy.
The fourth time when she committed a wrong,and comforted herself that others also commit wrong.
The fifth time when she forbore for weakness,and attributed her patience to strength.
The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face,and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
《沙与沫》(节选)
我永远走在这些岸上,在沙与沫之间。涨潮会抹掉我的足迹,海风会吹去这泡沫。可是海和岸,却永远存在。
仅仅就在昨天,我觉得自己只是一块碎片,在生命的苍穹中毫无节奏地颤动着。如今我知道自己就是那苍穹,一切生命都是节奏分明的碎片,在我内心律动。
追忆是一种会面。
遗忘是一种自由。
我的房子对我说:“不要离开我,这儿住着你的过去。”
路对我说:“跟我来吧,我是你的未来。”
我对房子和路说:“我没有过去,也没有未来。如果我留在这儿,我的留中有去;如果我去那儿,我的去中有留。唯有爱和死亡才能改变一切。”
真怪,渴望某些欢乐,正是我痛苦的一部分。
我曾七次鄙视自己的灵魂。
第一次是看见她在可以升华时却故作谦卑。
第二次是看见她在跛子前瘸着腿走。
第三次是在当她在难和易之间选择了易。
第四次是当她犯了过失,却以别人也有过失来自慰。
第五次是当她容忍软弱,并将忍耐视为坚强。
第六次是当她鄙视一张丑脸,却不知那正是她自己的面具之一。

参考范文: Good_morning,everyone!
I_feel_greatly_honored_to_speak_here.What_I'd_like_to_introduce_to_you_is
niangao,which is one of the most popular and typical dishes eaten during the Spring Festival.Niangao is a kind of rice pudding and it can be roasted,fried,or steamed.As the name suggests,niangao symbolizes abundance,wealth and prosperity for both the family and the country.
In Chinese New Year,eating niangao,people may think of “Nian”.Then what is “Nian”?Nian was originally the name of a beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.But Nian was frightened of red color and cracker sound.So our ancestors would put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors,and set off firecrackers to scare away Nian.Today we still keep these traditions,feeling the red color and the cracker sound add to the excitement and atmosphere of the celebration.
