大写的中国
作者:碑林路人
当我用纤细的笔墨勾勒你的样子
当我用蹩脚的方言诵读你的名字
当一首首赞美的诗篇涌出我的笔端
我多想说,
我是如此地爱你,我的祖国
When I outline your appearance
with fine brush and ink,
When I read your name
in a broken dialect,
When a poem of praise comes
out of my pen,
I want to say how much I love you,
my motherland!
我的祖国是大写的中国
是大片肥沃的土地,
开出鲜艳的花朵
我的祖国是骄傲的中国
是千年文化的滋养,
结出文明的硕果
My motherland is a great China.
It is a large fertile land with bright flowers.
My motherland is a proud China.
It is nourished by the millennium culture
and bears the fruits of splendid civilization.
我的书页里,
夹着祖国最悠远的诗歌
那是唐诗宋词
和元曲里最经典的韵仄
我的书桌上,
摆着祖国最厚重的宣墨
那是大篆、小楷、汉隶、
行草龙飞凤舞的集合
In my pages, you can find the oldest poems
of my motherland--
the most classical rhyme and oblique tone
in Tang poems, Song verses and Yuan music.
On my desk,
you can find the most profound rice paper
and Chinese ink of my motherland--
a wonderful collection of art of Chinese calligraphy,
lively and vigorous, like flying dragons
and dancing phoenixes.
我的祖国,
是三月里鸟语花香的南国
她有着 无尽的稻田,
无尽的湖泊
她是青砖黛瓦、是雕梁画栋
是每一个院落里
都生长着诗意的中国
My motherland is the southern country
of twittering birds and sweet flowers in March.
It has endless rice fields and boundless lakes.
It is the black tile and brick,
the carved beam, and the painted tower.
It is the poetic charm of China
growing in every courtyard.
我的祖国,
是十月里大雪纷飞的北国
她有着无边的森林,无边的沼泽
她是秦砖汉瓦、是茶马古道
是每一个山峦都刻着刚毅的
顶天立地的中国
My motherland is the northern country
braving heavy snows in October.
It has never-ending forests and marshes.
It is the Qin brick,
the Han tile, and the ancient Tea Horse Road.
It is the indomitable spirit of China
carved in every mountain and every hill.
我的祖国,
是黄河冲积的平原上
一首 气势磅礴的歌
我的祖国,
是长江流过的城市里
一条蜿蜒曲折的河
当我用温情的手掌抚摸我的祖国
我看见大写的笔划从我心中划过
My motherland is a triumphant song
on the Yellow River Plain.
My motherland is the winding
Yangtze River flowing through the cities.
When I touch my motherland with tender hands,
I see the strokes of Chinese characters
streak across my heart.
我的祖国,是用汉字堆砌的中国
是上下五千年文化熏染的中国
我的祖国,是挥毫泼墨的中国
是写意的花鸟、工笔的山河
祖国,你是绣篮里五彩的丝线
你是父亲刚劲的笔触最后的回峰
你是一笔一划写就的方块字
是横平竖直汇聚在一起的中国风
My motherland is the land piled up
with Chinese characters.
It is the land blessed with 5000 years of culture.
My motherland is the land painted
on the traditional Chinese painting
with flowers and birds, mountains and rivers.
My motherland!
You're the colorful silk thread
in the embroidered basket.
You're the last stroke of my father's
vigorous brushwork.
You're the square Chinese characters
stroke by stroke.
You're the Chinese style
united by horizontal and vertical lines
我的大写的中国啊
我用仰望的姿势翻开你的诗篇
你的每一座山峰
都是一个放大的汉字
它们在我的生命里生根
在我的血液里长大
我的大写的中国
Oh, my great China!
I look up to read you like reading a poem.
Every mountain in your arms
is a magnified Chinese character.
It takes root in my life,
And grows up in my blood.
China, my great China!
