Night 夜
夜幕已经笼罩着乡间。一轮红月正从树林后面徐徐升起，天上几乎见不到星星。在这苍茫夜色中，寒气与露水降下来了。我坐在敞开的窗前欣赏着这夜色，耳边只听见那夏天的风声。虽然我见不到红色和蓝色的花朵，但是我知道它们在哪儿。远处的草地上，银色的查尔斯河闪闪发光。木桥那边传来了踢嗒踢嗒的马啼声。接着，万物俱寂，只留下夏夜不断的风声。有时，我丝毫辨别不出它究竟是风声，还是邻近的海涛声。村子里的时钟敲起来了，于是我觉得并不孤单。
城市的夜晚是那样的不同啊! 夜深了，人群已经散去。你走到阳台上，躺在凉爽和露水弥漫的夜幕中，仿佛你用它作为外衣裹住了你的身子。阳台下面是栽着树木的人行道，像一条深不可测的黑色的海湾，飘忽的精灵就投入了这漆黑沉静的海湾，拥抱着某个所爱的精灵随波荡漾而去。长长的街道上，街灯依然到处亮着。人们从灯下走过，托拽着各种各样奇形怪状的影子，影子时而缩短，时而伸长，最后消失在黑暗之中；同时，一个新的影子又突然出现在那个行路人的身后，这影子好似风车上的翼板一样，转到他身体的前方去了。公园的铁门当啷一声关上，耳边可以听到脚步声和响亮的说话声；一阵喧闹；一阵酒醉后的吵嚷声；一阵火灾的报警声；接着，寂静如初。于是，城市终于沉睡，我们终于能够看到夜的景色。姗姗来迟的月亮从屋顶后面探出脸来,发觉没有人在欢迎她.月光破碎,东一块,西一块,撒落在各个广场上和各条大街的开阔处---像一块块白色的大理石一样棱角分明.
Night has fallen ver the cuntryside. A red mn was rising slwly behind the trees, and there were hardly any stars in the sky. In this vast night the cld and dew descended. I sat at the pen windw and watched the night, hearing nly the summer wind. Althugh I can't see the red and blue flwers, I knw where they are. The silver Charles River glistened in the distant meadw. Frm the wden bridge came the clattering f hrses. Then everything was silent except the cnstant wind f the summer night. Smetimes I culd nt tell whether it was the wind r the sund f the neighburing sea. The village clck struck, and I felt I was nt alne.
Hw different it is in the city at night! It was late at night and the crwd had dispersed. Yu g ut n the balcny and lie dwn in the cl and dewy night, as if yu cvered yurself with it as a clak. Belw the balcny was the wded walkway, like an unfathmable black bay int which the ethereal spirit plunged and flated away with sme belved spirit in its embrace. The streetlights were still burning everywhere alng the lng street. Peple passed under lamps, dragging shadws f all shapes, nw shrinking, nw lengthening, and then disappearing int the darkness; At the same time, a new shadw suddenly appeared behind the traveller, and passed in frnt f him like the wings f a windmill. The irn gates f the park clattered shut, and ftsteps and lud vices were heard; A hubbub; A drunken brawl; A fire alarm; Then silence returned. S, at last, the city sleeps, and we can see the night. The belated mn peeped ut frm behind the rf and fund n ne t welcme her. The mnlight fell in pieces here and there n the squares and the pen Spaces f the streets - angular as white marble.
Rush 匆匆
Swallws may have gne, but there is a time f return; willw trees may have died back, butthere is a time f regreening; peach blssms may have fallen, but they will blm again. Nw, yu the wise, tell me, why shuld ur days leave us, never t return? - If they had been stlenby smene, wh culd it be? Where culd he hide them? If they had made the escapethemselves, then where culd they stay at the mment?
I dn't knw hw many days I have been given t spend, but I d feel my hands are gettingempty. Taking stck silently, I find that mre than eight thusand days have already slid awayfrm me. Like a drp f water frm the pint f a needle disappearing int the cean, my daysare dripping int the stream f time, sundless, traceless. Already sweat is starting n myfrehead, and tears welling up in my eyes.
Thse that have gne have gne fr gd, thse t cme keep cming; yet in between, hwswift is the shift, in such a rush? When I get up in the mrning, the slanting sun marks itspresence in my small rm in tw r three blngs. The sun has feet, lk, he is treading n, lightly and furtively; and I am caught, blankly, in his revlutin. Thus--the day flws awaythrugh the sink when I wash my hands, wears ff in the bwl when I eat my meal, andpasses away befre my day-dreaming gaze as reflect in silence. I can feel his haste nw, s Ireach ut my hands t hld him back, but he keeps flwing past my withhlding hands. In theevening, as I lie in bed, he strides ver my bdy, glides past my feet, in his agile way. Themment I pen my eyes and meet the sun again, ne whle day has gne. I bury my face inmy hands and heave a sigh. But the new day begins t flash past in the sigh.
What can I d, in this bustling wrld, with my days flying in their escape? Nthing but thesitate, t rush. What have I been ding in that eight-thusand-day rush, apart frmhesitating? Thse bygne days have been dispersed as smke by a light wind, r evapratedas mist by the mrning sun. What traces have I left behind me? Have I ever left behind anygssamer traces at all? I have cme t the wrld, stark naked; am I t g back, in a blink, inthe same stark nakedness? It is nt fair thugh: why shuld I have made such a trip frnthing!
Yu the wise, tell me, why shuld ur days leave us, never t return？
也许燕子已经飞去,却终有归来之时;也许柳树已经枯槁,却终有再绿的一天;也许桃花已经凋零,但是它们终会再开花;现在,聪明的你,请告诉我,为什么我们的日子总会离我们远去,不再回头?如果他们被一个人藏起来了,那他会是谁?他能把日子藏在哪儿?如果如果它们逃脱了束缚,那么此时他们又在哪里?
我不知道自己曾被赐予了多少时间,可我却真真切切的感觉两手越来越空.默默的盘算着我所拥有的时光.我发觉八千多天的日子已经从我身边溜走.我的日子缓缓汇入了时间的河流,就像针尖上的一滴水消失在无垠的大海,无声无息.无影无踪.不知不觉,汗水挂上了我的前额,泪水溢满了我的眼眶.
已经远去的早已奔赴美好的前程,将要到来的继续着前行的脚步,然而,这其间的转换为何如此之快,如此行色匆匆?当我起床时,阳光斜射入在我的小屋,留下斑驳的痕迹以证明它的存在.阳光有脚丫,瞧,它正踩着轻盈的步伐偷偷前行着,而我呢,茫然看着它的轮转,就这样,在我洗手时,日子在我洗手的水槽里流走.当我吃饭时,日子在我吃饭的碗里流走,当我作白日梦深深思索时,它在我的凝望里默默离去.现在我分明感觉到了它的急速,于是我伸出手想把它拉回,但它却依然从我紧握的双手里流走.夜里,我躺在床上,它敏捷地跨过我的身体,滑过我的双脚。当我睁开双眼再次见到阳光时,一天已经过去了.我掩住了脸,深深的叹了口气.在这叹气之中,新的日子又一闪而过了.
在这个喧闹的世界里,面对时间的流逝,我能做什么?不是犹豫,就是奋起直追.而在这已经消失的八千多的日子中,除了犹豫不决,我还做过什么?这些过去的时光已经像烟雾般被一阵轻风吹散,或是像雨露般被清晨的阳光照耀到蒸发.我曾经留下了什么踪迹?我留下了任何细微的踪迹了吗?我赤裸裸来到这世界,是否转眼间也将赤裸裸地回去?不公平的是:为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊?
聪明的你,告诉我,为什么我们的日子总是离我们远去,却不再回头?
Address by Engels
"On the 14th f March, at a quarter t three in the afternn, the greatest living thinker ceasedt think. He had been left alne fr scarcely tw minutes, and when we came back we fundhim in his armchair, peacefully gne t sleep-but frever.
"An immeasurable lss has been sustained bth by the militant prletariat f Eurpe andAmerica, and by histrical science, in the death f this man. The gap that has been left by thedeparture f this mighty spirit will sn enugh make itself felt.
"Just as Darwin discvered the law f develpment f rganic nature, s Marx discvered thelaw f develpment f human histry: the simple fact, hithert cncealed by an vergrwthf idelgy, that mankind must first f all eat, drink, have shelter and clthing, befre it canpursue plitics, science, art, religin, etc.; that therefre the prductin f the immediatematerial means f subsistence and cnsequently the degree f ecnmic develpmentattained by a given peple r during a given epch frm the fundatin upn which the stateinstitutins, the legal cnceptins, art, and even the ideas n religin, f the peplecncerned have been evlved, and in the light f which they must, therefre, be explained, instead f vice versa, as had hithert been the case.
"But that is nt all. Marx als discvered the special law f mtin gverning the present-daycapitalist mde f prductin and the burgeis sciety that this mde f prductin hascreated. The discvery f surplus value suddenly threw light n the prblem, in trying t slvewhich all previus investigatins, f bth burgeis ecnmists and scialist critics, had beengrping in the dark.
"Tw such discveries wuld be enugh fr ne lifetime. Happy the man t whm it is grantedt make even ne such discvery. But in every single field which Marx investigated -- and heinvestigated very many fields, nne f them superficially -- in every field, even in that fmathematics, he made independent discveries.
恩格斯的地址
“3月14日下午差一刻，当时最伟大的思想家停止了思考。他一个人待着还不到两分钟，等我们回来时，就发现他躺在扶手椅里，安静地睡着了——不过是永远地睡着了。
“这个人的死对欧洲和美洲的好斗的无产阶级和历史科学都造成了不可估量的损失。这一伟大精神的离去所留下的缺口很快就会显现出来。
“就像达尔文发现有机自然的发展规律,因此,马克思发现了人类历史的发展规律:一个简单的事实,迄今为止被意识形态的过度生长,人类必须首先吃,喝,避难所和服装,才能从事政治、科学、艺术、宗教等等;因此直接的物质生活资料的生产,因此经济发展的程度达到给定的人或在给定的时代国家机构的基础形式,法律观念、艺术,甚至是宗教上的想法,有关人的进化,因此，它们必须根据这一点加以解释，而不是象迄今为止的情况那样，反之亦然。
“但这还不是全部。马克思还发现了支配现代资本主义生产方式和这种生产方式所创造的资产阶级社会的特殊运动规律。剩余价值的发现使以前资产阶级经济学家和社会主义批评家的所有研究都是在黑暗中摸索的问题突然明朗起来。
一个人一生中有两项这样的发现就足够了。哪怕是有一项这样的发现，那人也会感到幸福。但是在马克思研究的每一个领域——他研究的领域非常多，而且不是肤浅的——在每一个领域，甚至在数学领域，他都有独立的发现。
