雨雪心情

雨雪時候的心情 作者：冰心 （請點擊欣賞文章來源：《美語世界》 麗娃）

寒暑表降到冰點下十八度的時候，我們也是在廊下睡覺。每夜最熟識的就是天上的星辰了。也不過是點點閃爍的光明，而相看慣了，偶然不見，也有些想望與無聊。

連夜雨雪，一點星光都看不見。荷和我擁衾對坐，在廊子的兩角，遙遙談話。

荷指著說：“你看維納斯（Venus）升起來了！”我抬頭望時，卻是山路轉折處的路燈。我怡然一笑，也指著對山的一星燈火說：“那邊是丘比特（Jupiter）呢！”

愈指愈多。鬆林中射來零亂的風燈，都成了滿天星宿。真的，雪花隙裏，看不出來天空和森林的界限，將繁燈當作繁星，簡直是抵得過。

一念至誠的將假作真，燈光似乎都從地上飄起。這幻成的星光，都不移動，不必半夜夢醒時，再去追尋他們的位置。

於是雨雪寂寞之夜，也有了慰安了。

Stars on a Snowy Night  翻譯：美語世界 麗娃 （請點擊欣賞翻譯來源：《美語世界》 麗娃）

The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but I still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence left me loneliness and emptiness.

It had been snowing all night, not a single star in sight. My roommate and I, each wrapped in a quilt, were seating far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting.

She exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus is rising!” I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp around the bend in a mountain path. I smiled and pointed to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain:“It’s Jupiter over there!”

More and more lights came into sight as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created a star-studded sky. With snowlakes flying in the sky, it was hard to tell the sky from the forest. The numerous lamp-lights were shinning like stars now.

Completely lost in the dreamland, it seemed to me that all the lamplights were floating from the ground. With the shinning stars still hanging overhead, there was no need to trace their positions when I woke up from my dreams at night.

I could find consolation even on a lonely snowy night.

Bing Xin's Philosophy of Life and Legacy

Bingxin was known and respected for her philosophy of love, perseverance, integrity, and optimism. She was full of rich and beautiful emotions with love, as summarized in her life motto and quotation "Love makes everything possible", and she was also really perseverant in her writing career, continuing to write even if she was sick during her old years and saying, "Life begins at eighty".
Her writings, enriched with her life philosophy, are among the most insightful and beautiful in Chinese literature. People praised and loved Bingxin for her deep love and optimism, and on her memorial people paid the last respects with thousands of red roses, Bingxin's favorite flower. To this day, people in China (which include lots of children) still remember Bingxin affectionately.

Bing Xin's Life and Literary Career

Bingxin was born into patriotic family in Fuzhou, Fujian, but moved to the coastal port city of Yantai, Shandong, with her family when she was four. Such a move had a crucial influence on Bingxin's personality and philosophy of love and beauty, as the vastness and beauty of the sea greatly expanded and refined young Bingxin's mind and heart.
It was also in Yantai Bingxin first began to read the classics of Chinese literature, such as Romance of Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, when she was just seven. In 1913, Bingxin moved to Beijing.
The May Fourth Movement in 1919 inspired and elevated Bingxin's patriotism to new high levels, starting her writing career as she wrote for a school newspaper at Yanjing University where she was enrolled as a student and published her first novel. Bingxin graduated from Yanjing University in 1923 with a Bachelor's Degree, and went to the United States to study at Wellesley College, earning a Master's Degree at Wellesley in literature in 1926.
She then returned to Yanjing University to teach until 1936. In 1929, she married Wu Wenzao, an anthropologist and her good friend when they were studying in the United States. Together, Bingxin and her husband visited the different intellectual circles around the world, communicating with other intellectuals such as Virginia Woolf. Later in her life, Bingxin taught in Japan for a short period and stimulated more cultural communications between China and the other parts of the world as a traveling Chinese writer.
In literature, Bingxin founded the "Bingxin Style" as a new literary style. She contributed a lot to children's literature in China (her writings were even incorporated into children's textbooks), and also undertook various translation tasks, including the translation of the works of the great literary figure Rabindranath Tagore. Bingxin's literary career was a really prolific and productive one, and she wrote a wide range of works----prose, poetry, novels, reflections, etc. Her career spaned more than seven decades in length, from 1919 to the 1990s.
