中翻英--山民

山民
     --韩东
小时候，他问父亲
山的那边是什么
父亲说 是山
那边的那边呢
山。还是山
他不作声了，看着远方
山第一次使他这样疲倦
他想，这辈子是走不出这里的群山了
海是有的，但十分遥远
他只能活几十年
所以没等他走到那里
就会死在半路上
死在山中
他觉得应该带上老婆一起上路
老婆会给他生一个儿子
到他死的时候
儿子就长大了
........
他不再想了
儿子使他很疲倦
他只是遗憾
他的祖先没有像他一样想过
不然，看到海的就是他了




Villagers in hills

When young, he asked father
“What’s there over the hills?”
Replied, “Hills.”
“What about there over there?”
“Hills still.”
He got silent, staring in a distance
So tired the hills made him

He thought it impossible to go out
Of the hills here in his life long
There might be sea, but rather far
Only several decades could he live
So he would die on half way on hills
Before he reached there

He thought he should had set off with his wife
A wife to bear a child
Then his son would grow up
When he died
……

No longer had he thought
So tired also his son made him
He simply regretted that
His ancestors never thought like him
Or else it ought to be him to
See the sea

“Hills still.”
He got silent, staring in a distance
So tired the hills made him

to See the sea

it ought to be him to
See the sea

Of the hills here in his life long
There might be sea, but rather far
Only several decades could he live
