At the peak, you glance back

在山頂上，當你回首

and finally collapse.

你一下子累垮了——

This great height amazes,

這罕有的高度使你暗自吃驚

the trail upward a long stream,

走過的路像一條漫長的河

yourself, your heart’s blood,

你，源頭，感到心血流空

the freshet.

你朝下看，一直看進記憶深處

You gaze down through deep memory.

山坡上空然跑滿了羚羊

On the slope, out of nowhere, clambering antelopes.

你祈禱牠們抵達山頂

You hope they reach the summit

但很快，牠們就消失在陰影中

but they slip into shadow.

像一隻握有秘密的手

Like a hand bearing a secret

在你眼前忽地一晃

flashed once before your eyes,

這些羚羊，頃刻間

they melt

又回歸虛無

into emptiness.

你走過的路，在黃昏中

This road you walked, like a river

像一條河，閃閃發光

at evening, gleams with trembled light.
