你可见过一朵苍白的云
       这朵云流干眼泪，空了心
       变得很轻很轻
       它飘在山腰，撑着一棵树
       它浮在水面，挂起一叶帆

       人们没有见过它淌泪
       泪水以风的形态在飞
       或被咕咚咕咚地咽下
       它越来越轻
       如一头轻盈的麋鹿没入丛林

       我遇见一朵空心的云
       偶尔也停下来，呆如木鸡
       放纵泪，雨一样的飘
       和沉甸甸的期待遁入天空
       或在海底世界等待来生

               Encounting a cloud 
                    --By Hong Gan

        you can see a cloud going pale，
        with tears drained up , heart empty，
        which becomes very, very light.
        It floats on the hillside, supporting a tree.
        It floats on the sea and hangs a sail.

        Never have people seen it shed tears.
        In the form of wind may tears fly,
        or be gulped down.
        It gets lighter and lighter,
        like a sprightly elk jumping into the woods.

       I met a hollow cloud,
       which occasionally stopped, dumb as a wooden chicken.
       It indulged in tears, like rain drops falling,
       disppearing with strong anticipation into the sky,
       or into the underwater world,waiting for the next life.
