在旅途上，我
很幸運也很偶然地
在一個僻靜的鄉間
看到了
一縷炊煙
那是以前常常看到的
現在卻成了一件珍奇
它冉冉地上升
飄飄渺渺地
越飄高越稀薄
終於翳入了天聽
不知其所往
它承載著噴鼻的飯香
它承載著鄉野的原始情味
它承載著與世無爭的悠然
它承載著鄉下人的醇厚
它是屬於僻靜的鄉間的
但是現代科技文明幾乎已霸占了整個世間
它便依循一向的慣性加速向上飄
冉冉地翳入了天聽
越來越稀薄
終於不知其所往
連同鄉間的
飯香、原始情味、悠然和鄉下人的醇厚
唉，終於不知其所往
現在到哪裡可以尋找得到呢？
I Have Seen Kitchen Smoke Hsu ChiChen
En route, I
Am lucky and by an accident
In a secluded village
I have seen
Kitchen smoke
Which was often seen before
But now it is a rarity
The smoke curls upward
Misty and wispy
The higher the thinner
Finally it loses itself into the sky
Nowhere to be seen
It carries nostril-filling fragrance
It carries primitive flavor in the wilderness
It carries an ease free from worldly strife
It carries kindness and lenience of country people
It belongs to the quiet countryside
But modern science and technology has nearly seized the whole world
And it follows the usual inertia to rise upward
Slowly into the boundless sky
Thinner and thinner
Eventually nowhere to be seen
Together with fragrant meals
Primitive flavor, leisure, and kindness of country people
Alas, eventually nowhere to be seen
Now where can be seen?@
