我从网上读到“生死不离”，我流泪，我感动。我的好友申慧辉，她是北大英语专业毕业的研究生，曾任职于中国社会科学院，研究现当代英美戏剧，著名翻译家、文学评论家，也是哈佛大学的访问学者。我请她把这首诗翻译成了英语。她在短短的两天内译了出来，她非常谦虚，给我的email是这么写的：


Here is the translation of the poem.
Sorry to be so late.
My son George might have it read out at the UBC students' meeting, and Fanfan, I hope can help post it to those websites for more poeple to read.
Structurally, I did some editing to the poem, but I tried my best to keep everything as original as it should. You can find that I did not leave out any important line, only joining the two-line stanza with two repeating lines, and leave out a few repetitious lines.
I do hope Huang Canran （注：黄灿然----香港著名诗人，青年诗歌翻译家，很骄傲地说一声，他是凡凡的好友）or any other could improve the translation.

我把慧辉的译诗张贴于网站，希望所有访问外文媒体的网友能够张贴、宣传这首诗。

在此，也附上中文版。



Nothing Shall Separate Us
--Dedicated to the victims in Sichuan Earthquake
Poet: Wang Pingjiu
Translator: Shen Huihui


Nothing can separate us even when your dream stumbles
Life shall go on though the sky’s lost its splendors
In your dream you stand up free
In my blood deeply runs your plea.

Nothing will ever separate us, by seconds we wait for your news
Life shall go on, together we share this belief and pray
You fill my heart though I’ve lost your sight
Trace of your life is now my guiding light.

I shall find you no matter where you’re trapped
Life will go on for love shall conquer all
I shall find you no matter where you’re trapped
Hand holding onto hand till love unites us all.

Nothing can separate us, the world is holding its breath
Endurance defies tears, love is the ever-lasting myth.
Rainbows will appear after bitter storms
Fearless endeavor shall prove devoted hearts

I shall find you no matter where you are
Mountains can be moved for love conquers all
I shall find you no matter where you are
Fix the sky if cracked for love conquers all

I shall find you no matter where you are
Life will go on for love conquers all
A slight hope for you shall keep me searching
My arms shall pave the way for your home-coming

I shall find you no matter where you are
Life matters most and love shall conquer all
I shall find you no matter where you are
Hand holding on to hand till love unites us all!


生死不离
作者 王平久

生死不离，你的梦落在哪里。
想着生活继续，天空失去了美丽，
你却等待梦在明天站起。
你的呼喊刻在我的血液里

生死不离，我数秒等你的消息。
相信生命不息，与你祈祷一起呼吸
我看不到你却牵挂在心里，
你的目光是我全部的意义！

无论你在哪里，我都要找到你。
血脉能创造奇迹，生命是意义
无论你在哪里，我都要找到你。
手拉着手，生死不离

生死不离，全世界都被沉寂
痛苦也不哭泣，爱是你的传奇，
彩虹在风雨后渐渐升起。
我的努力看到爱的力气！
无论你在哪里，我都要找到你！
血脉能创造奇迹，大山毅然举起
无论你在哪里，我都要找到你。
天裂了，去缝起
------------------------
你一丝希望是我的全部意义
搭起我的手筑成你回家的路基！！！

无论你在哪里，我都要找到你。
血脉能创造奇迹，生命是命题
无论你在哪里，我都要找到你。
手拉着手，生死不离
--------------------------
无论你在哪里，我都要找到你！
血脉能创造奇迹，大山毅然举起
无论你在哪里，我都要找到你。
天裂了，去缝起
手拉着手，生死不离！！！

Hi there

My profession is not English. My English is far from good. The only reason I'm using English to reply is that I'm at work and no Chinese input method was installed. I read a lot of very touching poem in Chinese about the earth quake and wanted to share some of them with my coworkers. This poem is one of them. Thanks very much to translate it into English.

I have a very strong feeling when I read the Chinese version; however, I don't when I read the English version. One of the possible reason is that too many "Shall" were used in the poem which not reveal the firm belief of those people. The belief of they can find their relatives/friends, the belief of they can save their relatives/friends, the belief of they will never seperate, AND THE BELIEF OF THEY CAN FIX THE CRACK ON THE SKY! I thought "will" may stronger or better than "shall" in this aspect. for some stronger sentense, we can even remove the "will".

My 2cents

回复楼上的TNND 网友，这首译诗，当然不能说尽善尽美，译者很谦虚，她说她不是诗人，音韵方面可以考虑再求流畅。昨夜，我把诗歌发给了香港的诗人，他答应会修改此诗，也欢迎读者提出意见。谢谢你的点评。
