没有风的日子
就是好日子
放之四海而皆准
无论在惠灵顿
还是耶路撒冷
无论是国王、总理
还是平民百姓
大家都需要 风平浪静
一年四季
人们苟苟营营
你拥我挤
无端地制造许多风波
许多
残败和凋零
一年
只有这么一天
人们突然想起
没有风多好
没有无孔不入的惊悚
多么舒坦
此时此刻，每一滴星光
每一瓣浪花
都属于你
每一团云中的梦
每一缕亲切的笑容
都触手可及
一年又一年的圣诞
将一个又一个
狂躁不安的日子
变得异常宁静
异常温馨

In Good Time of Eased Wind and Calmed Waves
by Chengwen Li
Translated by ©H.L.Glennie
The windless time
Is good time
A universally accepted claim
Whether in Wellington
Or in Jarusalem
Whether it's a king, prime minister
Or the commons
All needs a break from raging storm
Year after year, throughout four seasons
People are shamelessly busy with ethereal pursuits.
Crowd after crowd
People churn out many turmoils with no apparent reasons
Hence many
Decays and ruins
Each year
Only with such a day
People suddenly recall
How nice it can be when wind is off
A time with no horror penetrating everywhere
How comforting it is
In such a moment, when each starlit glint
Each flowering wave
All belong to you
The dreams in each mass of clouds
Each trace of warm smiles
All become reachable with our hands
Christmas year over year
Transforms one after another
Restless and maniac day
Into remarkably serene time
With sweetly warm atmosphere.
