06 Believe in the Future

06相信未来

When cobwebs relentlessly clog my stove
When its dying smoke sighs for poverty
I will stubbornly dig out the disappointing ash
And write with beautiful snowflakes: Believe in the Future
当蜘蛛网无情地查封了我的炉台
当灰烬的余烟叹息着贫困的悲哀
我依然固执地铺平失望的灰烬
用美丽的雪花写下：相信未来
When my overripe grapes melt into late autumn dew
When my fresh flower lies in another's arms
I will stubbornly write on the bleak earth
With a dry frozen vine: Believe in the Future
当我的紫葡萄化为深秋的露水
当我的鲜花依偎在别人的情怀
我依然固执地用凝霜的枯藤
在凄凉的大地上写下：相信未来
I point to the waves billowing in the distance
I want to be the sea that holds the sun in its palm
Take hold of the beautiful warm pen of the dawn
And write with a child-like hand: Believe in the Future
我要用手指那涌向天边的排浪
我要用手掌那托住太阳的大海
摇曳着曙光那枝温暖漂亮的笔杆
用孩子的笔体写下：相信未来
The reason why I believe so resolutely in the future is:
I believe in the eyes of the people of the future
Their eyelashes that can brush away the ash of history
Their pupils that can see through the texts of time
我之所以坚定地相信未来
是我相信未来人们的眼睛
她有拨开历史风尘的睫毛
她有看透岁月篇章的瞳孔
It doesn't matter whether people shed contrite tears
For our rotten flesh, or our hesitancy, or the bitterness of our failure
Whether they view us with sneers or deep-felt sympathy
Or scornful smiles or pungent satire
不管人们对于我们腐烂的皮肉
那些迷途的惆怅、失败的苦痛
是寄予感动的热泪、深切的同情
还是给以轻蔑的微笑、辛辣的嘲讽
I firmly believe that people will judge our spines
And our endless explorations, losses, failures and successes
With an enthusiastic, objective and fair evaluation
Yes, I await their judgement anxiously
我坚信人们对于我们的脊骨
那无数次的探索、迷途、失败和成功
一定会给予热情、客观、公正的评定
是的，我焦急地等待着他们的评定
Friends, please let us believe in the future
Believe in our unbending striving
Believe in our youth that can conquer death
Believe in the Future: believe in Life.
朋友，坚定地相信未来吧
相信不屈不挠的努力
相信战胜死亡的年轻
相信未来、热爱生命
背景知识：
食指（1948-），原名郭路生，被称为新诗潮诗歌第一人。20岁时写的名作《相信未来》、《海洋三部曲》、《这是四点零八分的北京》等以手抄本的形式在社会上广为流传。这首诗构思巧妙。前三节写我是怎样“相信未来”的，后三节写为什么要“相信未来”，最后一节呼唤人们带着对未来的信念去努力，去热爱，去生活。用语质朴，而思想深刻；性格鲜明，又令人折服。全诗以语言的时间艺术，与中国画式的空间艺术相结合，实现了诗人所反复讲述的“我的诗是一面窗户，是窗含西岭千秋雪”的艺术。通读该诗，虽然我们感受更多的是压抑是痛苦，但从诗人那压抑和痛苦的吟哦中，读者能真切地感受到诗人那撼人心魂的信念——无时不在渴望和憧憬着光明的未来，并为理想和光明而奋斗挣扎着。
