One must have a mind of winter

人必须用冬天的心境

To regard the frost and the boughs

去注视冰霜和覆着白雪的

Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

松树的枝桠；

And have been cold a long time

必须冻过很久

To behold the junipers shagged with ice,

才能看到挂满冰的刺柏，

The spruces rough in the distant glitter

和远处一月的阳光里

Of the January sun; and not to think

粗糙的云杉，才能不因为风声

Of any misery in the sound of the wind,

以及这片土地上

In the sound of a few leaves,

叶子的声音，想到

Which is the sound of the land

任何悲惨的际遇，

Full of the same wind

同样的风在同样的

That is blowing in the same bare place

荒凉的地方，也为倾听者

For the listener, who listens in the snow,

而吹，他在雪中倾听，

And, nothing himself, beholds

完全不是他自己，看见

Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

一切，以及一切存在中的空无。
