Digging
Seamus Heaney
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests; as snug as a gun.
Under my window a clean rasping sound
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:
My father, digging. I look down
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
Where he was digging.
The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft
Against the inside knee was levered firmly.
He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep
To scatter new potatoes that we picked
Loving their cool hardness in our hands.
By God, the old man could handle a spade,
Just like his old man.
My grandfather could cut more turf in a day
Than any other man on Toner's bog.
Once I carried him milk in a bottle
Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up
To drink it, then fell to right away
Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods
Over his shoulder, digging down and down
For the good turf. Digging.
The cold smell of potato mold, the squelch and slap
Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
Through living roots awaken in my head.
But I've no spade to follow men like them.
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests.
I'll dig with it.
挖掘
在我手指和大拇指中間
一支粗壯的筆躺着，舒適自在像一支槍。
我的窗下，一個清晰而粗厲的響聲
鐵鏟切進了礫石累累的土地：
我爹在挖土。我向下望
看到花坪間他正使勁的臀部
彎下去，伸上來，二十年來
穿過白薯壟有節奏地俯仰着，
他在挖土。
粗劣的靴子踩在鐵鏟上，長柄
貼着膝頭的內側有力地撬動，
他把表面一層厚土連根掀起，
把鐵鏟發亮的一邊深深埋下去，
使新薯四散，我們撿在手中，
愛它們又涼又硬的味兒。
說真的，這老頭子使鐵鏟的巧勁
就像他那老頭子一樣。
我爺爺的土納的泥沼地
一天挖的泥炭比誰個都多。
有一次我給他送去一瓶牛奶，
用紙團鬆鬆地塞住瓶口。他直起腰喝了，馬上又幹開了，
利索地把泥炭截短，切開，把土.
撩過肩，爲找好泥炭，
一直向下，向下挖掘。
白薯地的冷氣，潮溼泥炭地的
咯吱聲、咕咕聲，鐵鏟切進活薯根的短促聲響
在我頭腦中迴盪。
但我可沒有鐵鏟像他們那樣去幹。
在我手指和大拇指中間
那支粗壯的筆躺着。
我要用它去挖掘。
Whatever You Say, Say Nothing
"Religion's never mentioned here", of course.
"You know them by their eyes," and hold your tongue.
"One side's as bad as the other," never worse.
Christ, it's near time that some small leak was sprung
In the great dykes the Dutchman made
To dam the dangerous tide that followed Seamus.
Yet for all this art and sedentary trade
I am incapable. The famous
Northern reticence, the tight gag of place
And times: yes, yes. Of the "wee six" I sing
Where to be saved you only must save face
And whatever you say, you say nothing.
Smoke-signals are loud-mouthed compared with us:
Manoeuvrings to find out name and school,
Subtle discrimination by addresses
With hardly an exception to the rule
That Norman, Ken and Sidney signalled Prod
And Seamus (call me Sean) was sure-fire Pape.
O land of password, handgrip, wink and nod,
Of open minds as open as a trap,
Where tongues lie coiled, as under flames lie wicks,
Where half of us, as in a wooden horse
Were cabin'd and confined like wily Greeks,
Besieged within the siege, whispering morse.
Never Give Up Hope 永遠別放棄希望
Life doesn't always give us the joys we want.
生活並非總是如你所願。
We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way.
希望有時會落空，夢想有時會破滅，我們不能一切隨心所願。
But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
但別放棄希望，因爲事物並非一成不變;不同時間，不同場合，你會呈現不同的面貌。
Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind.
處處留心你身邊的美吧--自然中的，別人中的，你自己的--請相信，美來自朋友、家庭乃至全人類的融融愛意。
You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.
一個微笑，援助之手，關心的舉止，友善的世界，無不傳達着愛。愛無所不在，如果你有尋找的話。
Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience, and understanding.
奉獻愛心吧，從中你會發現生活的力量，感受生活帶來的幸福快樂，學會忍耐和理解。
Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.
相信人性本善。記住，愛心和希望能化解一切憤怒和沮喪。
Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.
哪怕生活中揮之不去的不快和困難將你重重包圍，讓你力不從心，但你仍可以盡力而爲。累積點滴努力，最終你將扭轉乾坤。
