致橡树 To The Oak Tree

我如果爱你——

If I love you

绝不像攀援的凌霄花，

I won't wind upon you like a trumpet¹ creeper

借你的高枝炫耀自己;

upvalue myself by your height

我如果爱你——

If I love you

绝不学痴情的鸟儿，

I will never follow a spoony bird

为绿荫重复单调的歌曲;

repeating the monotune song for the green shade

也不止像泉源，

not only like a springhead

常年送来清凉的慰籍;

brings you clean coolness whole year long

也不止像险峰,

not only like a steepy peak

增加你的高度，衬托你的威仪。

根，紧握在地下，

our roots melt underneath³

叶，相触在云里。

our leaves merge⁴ in clouds

每一阵风过，

when wind breezes

你有你的铜枝铁干

you have your strong stem and branches

像刀，像剑，

like knives and swords

也像戟，

and like halberds

我有我的红硕花朵，

I have my red ample flowers

像沉重的叹息，

like heavy sighs

又像英勇的火炬，

and heroic torches as well

我们分担寒潮、风雷、霹雳;

we partake cold tide, thunder, storm, firebolt

我们共享雾霭、流岚、虹霓，

together we share brume, flowing mist, rainbow

仿佛永远分离，

as if we separate all the time

却又终身相依，

actually we forever rely on each other

这才是伟大的爱情，

this is great love

坚贞就在这里：
