【After the Power Failure】 Dan MU (1918—1977) The sun was fine, but it was down. I turned on the light and went on working as before, Thinking to have driven out the night, And offering private thanks to civilization. Suddenly, darkness triumphed, And the good old world went out. But I took courage and lit my small candle. The room thus lit, I continued working, Without losing heart, but longing twice as much for the sun.
Next day, I awoke to brilliant daylight, Found my candle still standing on the desk. I examined it: the wax was spent, And tears ran down on either side. I knew then how many gusts of wind it had Survived that one night. Gratefully I put it aside, Paying silent tribute to this miniature graveyard. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《停電之後》】 穆旦(1936生—1977卒) 太陽最好，但是它下沉了， 擰開電燈，工作照常進行。 我們還以為從此驅走夜， 暗暗感謝我們的文明。 可是突然，黑暗擊敗一切， 美好的世界從此消失滅蹤。 但我點起小小的蠟燭， 把我的室內又照得通明： 繼續工作也毫不氣餒， 只是對太陽加倍地憧憬。
次日睜開眼，白日更輝煌， 小小的燭台還擺在桌上。 我細看它，不但耗盡了油， 而且殘留的淚掛在兩旁： 這是我才想起，原來一夜間， 有許多陣風都要它抵擋。 於是我感激地把它拿開， 默念這可敬的小小墳場。 【注】擁有800多年悠久歷史的南鑼鼓巷形似魚骨，787米/2,582英尺長的主幹道居中，兩側各有8條平行胡同，快餐裹夾元時四合院，現代氣息瀰漫古代韻味，據說這是中國唯一一個仍然完整保留胡同棋盤式布局的傳統住宅區。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2018: Beijing—Olympic Bird Nest, China(北京奧運會鳥巢)
