《客栈》-鲁米

摘自：《客栈》

人生好比一个客栈

This being human is a guest house,

每个早晨都有旅客前来

Enery morning a new arrvial,

有愉悦的、有悲伤的、也有卑劣刻薄的旅客

A joy,adepression,a meanness,

在某些瞬然的片刻就如意外的旅客翩然到访

Some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

 

 

欢迎并热情招待他们每一个

Welcome and entertain them all,

即使他们是一群恐怖的悲伤情绪

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,

狂暴的破坏你的房子，将你的房内家具一扫而空

Who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,

也是如上宾的招待他们

Still,treat each guest honorabl,

因为他可能带来某些崭新的欢悦

He may be clearing you out ,

涤净你的心灵

for some new delight.

 

 

无论来的是灰暗的念头、羞愧的情绪或是邪恶的想法

The dark thought ,theshame,the malice,

都要在门口笑脸相迎

meet them at the door laughing,

欢迎他们进入你的内心

And invite them in.

对任何访客都要心存感恩

Be grateful for whoever comes

因为他们每一位都是上天派来的向导

Because each has been sent as guide from beyond.
