一个苹果 (劳 山)
小时侯我们在乡下生活，说起来蛮苦，蛮累。
An Apple (Lao Shan)
My childhood was spent in the countryside,
where the life was so bitter and hard, so to
speak now.

in terrible bitterness and hardship, so to

那时侯，我们最爱吃的是苹果。可能是苹果
太贵的缘故，父亲一直舍不得买。
Apples, at that time, were our favorite
liking. It was maybe the dear price that made
our father reluctant to buy one.
Apples, at that time, were to our greatest
liking and it must be their dear prices that
made my father never muster up enough
courage to buy one.
有一天，父亲到台北出差，总算买了一个苹
果回家。
One day, returning from Taipei on a
business trip, he finally managed to bring one
home.
But once a day, after making a business
trip in Taipei, my father, without our
expectation, bought one home.
父亲削好苹果后，切成五等份，给我们兄妹
五人每人一小片。哎！那么薄，那么少。
After peeling the apple, father divided it
into five equal parts, and handed one to each
of us children. Alas! How thin and small each
piece was!
After peeling the apple, my father cut it
into five equal pieces, and handed out to five
of us children. Alas! How thin and small each
piece was!
但是我们却不感多讲。父亲发现我们面有难
色，欲言又止。不由深深地叹了口气……
But none of us dared to speak this out.
Noticing our visible embarrassment with its
meagerness and wavering between questions
and silence, my father involuntarily expelled a
deep sigh…
But none of us dared to speak it out. Noticing our reluctance on our faces, father was
about to say something, but finally heaved a
deep sigh instead…

二十年过去了，我亦已为人母，
开始体会出父亲当时的苦衷。
二十年过去了。
Twenty years have passed.
Twenty years has passed.
Ten years is a long time to wait.
(a period of ten years)
There are 12 months in one year.
A short ten years has brought us to
this point.
An arduous ten years have passed.
二十多年过去了，我亦已为人母，开始体会
出父亲当时的苦衷。
Twenty years have slipped by and I am a
mother now. I started to feel for myself the
sorrow of my father’s then.
More than a score years passed by and I
am a mother now. I begin to understand
father’s difficulty and feelings then.
回想当初，一个苹果分成五片，每个小孩
一片，我们却嫌少嫌薄，而没有考虑到爸爸、
妈妈连一小口也没有尝到！
How I feel regretful to think that we
hated the parts of apple being too small and
thin, ignoring our father and mother who
themselves divided it into five parts without
even one small bite to taste it!
回想当初，一个苹果分成五片，每个小孩

妈妈连一小口也没有尝到！
How regretful I feel now to have hated
the our portion of the apple being too small
and thin without even the slightest thought
of our father and mother who did not even
have just one bite when they sliced it into
five pieces for each of us!
如果，那时侯我们能要求父亲将苹果切成
七片，让爸妈也尝一口，那么就会留下一个多
么美好的甜蜜的回忆呀！
If only we had got our father and mother
to have a taste of the apple by asking father
to divide it into two more parts, not just five,
how happy and sweet memories we would
have now!

么美好的甜蜜的回忆呀！
If only we had asked father to cut it into
seven equal pieces and had made them have
a taste, how happy and sweet the memory
would be now!

我以为世间最可宝贵的就是“今”，最易
丧失的也是“今”。因为他最易丧失，所以更
觉得他可以宝贵。
为甚么“今”最可宝贵呢？最好借哲人耶
曼孙所说的话答这个疑问：“尔若爱千古，尔
当爱现在。昨日不能唤回来，明天还不确实，
尔能确有把握的就是今日。今日一天，当明日
两天。”

The Living Present
Li Dazhao tr. by 张培基
Of all things in the world, I think, the present
is the most precious, and also the most apt to
slip through our fingers. We, therefore, treasure it
all the more because of its transience.
为甚么“今”最可宝贵呢？最好借哲人耶曼孙
所说的话答这个疑问：“尔若爱千古，尔当爱现在。
昨日不能唤回来，明天还不确实， 尔能确有把握的
就是今日。今日一天，当明日两天。”
Why is the present so precious? The following
quotation from philosopher Emerson best serves
for an answer: “Make use of time if you love
eternity; yesterday cannot be recalled; tomorrow
cannot be assured; only today is yours. One
today is worth two tomorrows.”
