我想那时我找到了答案

I thought I found the answer when

当乌鸦聚集成群，

the blackbirds formed a swarm,

盘旋于空，快速地升向高处，

hovered, lofted off at high speed,

继而转弯，于是整个布阵

veered, became a composition

光影交错。有时十只

of light-dark motion. Sometimes ten

或者二十只，飞离鸦群，好像复调，随后

or twenty flew apart, a counterpoint, then

又与之会合，没入

re-collided with the main-flock, merged

同一种律动。成百的翱翔的生命

into one impulse. One mind among 

心却融在一处，嬉戏

a hundred soaring bodies, played 

于夕阳之下，将夜晚

in twilight, brought night down

引向我们，以粉红，以湛蓝：

onto us, out of pink and blue:

如此喜悦，黑暗可忽略不计。

so elated, darkness hardly mattered.
