I Felt the Sunlight

I Felt the Sunlight

Along the long, long corridor
I     go on walking . . .

—Before me there are dazzling windows,
on either side, walls reflecting the light.
The sunlight    and I,
I'm standing with the sunlight.

—Now I remember how intense that sunlight is!
So warm it stops me from taking another step,
so bright I hold my breath.
The light of the whole universe converges here.

—I'm unaware of the existence of anything else.
There is only me, leaning on sunlight,
still for a full ten seconds.
Sometimes, ten seconds
is longer than a quarter of a century.

Finally, I dash down the stairs,
push open the door,
and run in the spring sunlight . . .

我感到了阳光

我从长长的走廊走下去……

－啊，迎面是刺眼的窗子，
两边是反光的墙壁。
阳光，我。
我和阳光站在一起！

－啊，阳光原是这样强烈，
暖的让人凝住了脚步，
亮的让人憋住了呼吸。
全宇宙的人都在这里集聚。

－我不知道还有什么存在，
只有我，靠着阳光。
站了十秒钟。
十秒，有时会长于一个世纪的四分之一。

终于，我冲下楼梯，推开门，
奔走在春天的阳光里……
