3/27英文小文翻譯--老鷹與麻雀

(2021-03-27 04:33:21) 下一個

Before writing this I sat outside drinking hot lemon, thinking about the day ahead. As I sat gazing at the mountains circling around behind the house, I saw an eagle floating around high overhead. Although eagles are fairly common in the mountains in this part of Spain, this is the first time I have seen one fly so obviously over the house.

在寫這些前，我正坐在外麵喝著熱檸檬茶，想未來的日子。當我盯著房後的環山時，我看見一隻老鷹在頭頂盤旋。雖然在此地的西班牙山區，老鷹很常見，這卻是我第一次清晰地看到一隻老鷹在屋頂上空飛翔。

Soon afterwards I sat in the pergola, sheltering from the sun and eating my breakfast. A sparrow flew in and sat on a leg of the pergola and chirped away. For a few minutes I had a ‘conversation’ with the bird who was not concerned that I was so near. I see many sparrows around the house, but they tend to be more wary of me and never have one so directly communicate.

稍後，我坐在一個涼棚下避日吃早餐。一隻麻雀飛進來，坐在涼棚的一柱上，唧唧喳喳了一會，然後飛走。有幾分鍾的時間，我與一隻無視我在它附近的麻雀進行了“交流“。我的房子周邊有許多的麻雀，但是它們都對我保持警惕，沒有一隻與我靠近交流。

I was struck by the closeness of these encounters, realising that there was deep significance here. It is relatively easy to see this but less easy to interpret what is going on. Thinking through what happened and understanding the significance of the two birds I realised that this revelation was, for me multi-layered. To see these layers it is helpful to look into the energetic significance of the two birds.

與這兩名偶遇者的近距離接觸讓我感到震驚，我認識到其背後的深層意義。看到事物容易，解釋其引伸意義相對要難些。想到所發生的事，加之了解這兩種鳥所代表的意義，我認識到了其中的聯係。對我來說，這種聯係是多層麵的。看透這兩種鳥的體能象征，會對看清這幾個層麵有所幫助。

The Eagle

An eagle appears to inspire a person to be courageous and to stretch their limits. It is time for them to reach higher and become more than they believe they are capable of. It is time to look at things from a new, higher perspective, to be patient with the present, and know that the future holds possibilities that they may not yet be able to see. People influenced by eagles are seen as visionaries, people who are seekers and are willing to push the limits of self-discovery and personal freedom. Eagles bring them a sense of courage and a desire to explore and grow. The lesson of the eagle is to take a look from where it sees, to have the courage to relinquish stale and comfortable beliefs, to soar into unknown and new realities, and to continue to expand the view. It is the time to take full responsibility for life. As spiritual awareness increases, the positive and negative effects will become more immediate and have greater force.

鷹可以激發人的勇氧，讓人不斷挑戰自身極限（比如體育界常說的更快更高更強）。讓人們達到更高，超過他們所相信的能力極力。是時候站在更高，更新的角度，更耐心地看待當前。明白現在他們看不到，但卻蘊藏於將來的可能性。會受老鷹影響的人們，被認為是有遠見者。這些人願意去發現，並去拓展自我發現的極限和個人自由。鷹帶給他們勇氧感，讓他們有探索和成長的願望。從鷹身上所學的是：從眼前所見，讓勇氧帶領我們放下那些陳舊，勿需顧慮便可講出的觀念，飛向未知的更新境界，然後繼續拓展視野。是時候審視和考良自己的生活，對自己的一生來負責了。當精神層麵的感知提了，其所產生的積極的，或消極的作用將更直接，也更有力量。

The Sparrow

The small sparrow is one of the most common birds but is often overlooked, its power taken for granted. The sparrow energy is both powerful and productive. Its persistence and integrity shows people that they do not have to be big to make a difference, they do not need to have the biggest and best things in order for their voices to be heard. In the wild, these birds are constantly working collecting food and gathering. They teach people to work for what they want. By accomplishing things that they can be proud of, they will continue to boost their self-esteem and sense of worth. The sparrow is a symbol of protection and communal involvement, as they achieve their power through strength of numbers. The sparrow inspires people to stand up for themselves, but also stresses the importance of compassion and the emphasis on teamwork. Sparrows move, eat, rest, and take part in activities as a group, which can be quite intimidating for a predator, no matter how large and fierce it is.

麻雀雖然平凡普通，但它通常並不被輕視，它的力量眾所周知。它的精力有力亦有效，它的堅持與正直告訴人們：雖然他們個體不大，但他們可以改變現狀；沒有最大最好的東西，他們的聲音同樣能夠被社會聽到。在自然界裏，這些麻雀總是聚在一起，不停地收集食物。它們告訴人們要為自身的所需而工作，通過完成工作，它們可以認識到自身的價值，並為自己感到驕傲。麻雀是保護和參與社區活動的象征，因為當它們可以通過數量積累到力量。麻雀鼓舞人們站起來為他們發聲，同時也強調同情心與團隊精神。麻雀移動，飲食，休息，做活動都是群體行為，這對於捕食者來說這是很有威懾力的，不管它們多強大多凶殘。

Spring Fall on North America on March 20th. After a spring rain, I was pleased by seeing the first cluster of crocus 北美的春天在三月二十到來，一場春雨過後，我的心因一叢紫色的番紅花而歡喜。
