許其正：尊重這份寧靜
雖然太陽還沒起床
它先遣的晨曦們
已將時間和空間
浸泡得相當透亮了
——在我到達的時候
多麼寧靜！寧靜得
我不敢把腳步踩得太重
因為這寧靜就是
那汪一無漣漪的潭面
誰丟下一塊小石子
都會予以破壞掉
這不僅是我
連四周的青山們
青山上的綠樹們
綠樹上的鳥兒們
以及閒步的晨風們
都是如此小心翼翼
為尊重這份寧靜
甚至當我離去時
要向住在這裏的
梭羅和陶淵明們道的再見
我也沒說出口
Respect the Tranquility Here Hsu ChiCheng
—Morning Tour to Carp Pool on June 10th, 2002
Though the sun has not yet got up
The first sun rays sent by it in advance
Have immersed transparent and bright
The time and the space
— When I finally arrive
What tranquility! So tranquil
That I dare not stamp my feet
Because tranquility is
Surface of the pool free from any ripples
Any little stone thrown by anybody
Is going to destroy its tranquility
This is not only me
Even green hills all around
And green trees atop green hills
And birds in green trees
And strolling morning breezes
Are all so scrupulous
To respect the tranquility here
Even when I am to depart
I do not open my mouth
To bid adieu to hermits here
Like Thoreau and Tao Yuanming＠
