These are amazing: each

这些树令人惊叹：每一株

Joining a neighbor, as though speech

都与邻居接连，仿佛言谈

Were a still performance.

化作一场凝止的表演。

Arranging by chance

因为机缘的安排

To meet as far this morning

你我相遇，犹如这清晨

From the world as agreeing

与尘世游离却依然

With it, you and I

与之切合，恍惚间

Are suddenly what trees try

你我便成为它们

To tell us we are:

试图晓示我们：

That their merely being there

它们存在于此便足以

Means something; that soon

包含蕴意；你我很快

We may touch, love, explain.

便会抚触、相爱、释怀。

And glad not to have invented

令人欣慰的是如此的亲和

Such comeliness, we are surrounded:

并非虚妄，我们正置身其间：

A silence already filled with noises,

一种静寂已充满声响，

A canvas on which emerges

一张帆布已然浮现

A chorus of smiles, a winter morning.

彼此应和的笑容、一个冬晨。

Placed in a puzzling light, and moving,

置于一片迷离的光中，移动，

Our days put on such reticence

我们的日子披着这般缄默，

These accents seem their own defense.

这些音色似乎是它们自足的辩护。
