一个人要有冬天的心脏

One must have a mind of winter

才能注视霜冻和粗枝

To regard the frost and the boughs

在披戴了雪的松树上；

Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

要经受过漫长的冷

And have been cold a long time

才能看见刺柏因冰渣蓬乱，

To behold the junipers shagged with ice,

远远的闪光里云杉粗粝

The spruces rough in the distant glitter

在一月的日照下；才能不想起

Of the January sun; and not to think

有任何的悲惨在风的声音里，

Of any misery in the sound of the wind,

几片叶的声音里，

In the sound of a few leaves,

那大地的声音

Which is the sound of the land

充满了一样的风

Full of the same wind

吹着一样荒凉的所在

That is blowing in the same bare place

只因听者在雪中听，

For the listener, who listens in the snow,

而虚无自己，看见这

And, nothing himself, beholds

不存在的虚无和存在的虚无。

Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
