本周分享一首来自泰戈尔的诗——家庭
我独自在横跨过田野的路上走着,夕阳像一个守财奴似的,正藏起它的最后的金子。
I paced alone on the road across the field while the sunset was hiding its last gold like a miser.
白昼更加深沉的没入黑暗之中,那已经收割了的孤寂的田野,默默地躺在那里。天空里突然升起了一个男孩子的尖锐的歌声。他穿过看不见的黑暗,留下他的歌声的辙痕跨过黄昏的静谧。
The daylight sank deeper and deeper into the darkness, and the widowed land, whose harvest had been reaped, lay silent. Suddenly a boy's shrill voice rose into the sky. He traversed the dark unseen, leaving the track of his song across the hush of the evening.
他的乡村的家坐落在荒凉的边上,在甘蔗田的后面,躲藏在香蕉树、瘦长的槟榔树、椰子树和深绿色的贾克果树的阴影里。
His village home lay there at the end of the waste land, beyond the sugar-cane field, hidden among the shadows of the banana and the slender areca plam, the cocoa-nut and the dark green jack-fruit trees.
我在星光下独自走着的路上停留了一会,我看见黑沉沉的大地展开在我的面前,用她的手臂拥抱着无数量的家庭。在那些家庭里有摇篮和床铺,母亲们的心和夜晚的灯,还有年轻轻的生命,他们满心欢乐,却浑然不知这样的欢乐对于世界的价值。
I stopped for a moment in my lonely way under the starlight, and saw spread before me the darkened earth surrounding with her arms countless homes furnished with cardles and beds, mother's hearts and evening lamps, and young lives glad with a gladness that knows nothing of its value for the world.

人最重要的莫过于家庭,无数的家庭构成了整个世界,这首诗描写了大地陷入黑暗后的场景,一个男孩的歌声穿过孤寂的田野,在黑暗中留下了条辙痕,给无尽的黑暗带来一丝光明。而在辽阔的大地上,有着无量数的家庭,家中有摇篮和床铺、有母亲的心和夜晚的灯、有年轻的生命...这些象征着新生、温暖、光明、希望的东西为人们驱散夜晚的黑暗和寒冷,给人们以希望,也给这个世界以希望。
想起我读大学时,一天傍晚,坐在回学校的公车上。突然感慨:“有家,真幸福!”现在读到这首诗,更加明白了家庭的意义,家庭是这个世界的希望。
