【The Answer】

Dao BEI (1949—)

    Baseness is the secret knock of the base

    Integrity is the epitaph of the noble

    Look how the gilded sky drifts full of

    The inverted crooked reflections of the dead

    The ice age has passed,

    So why are there icicles everywhere?

    The Cape of Good Hope has been discovered

    Why do a thousand sails contend for the Dead Sea?

    I came into this world

    Carrying only paper, rope, a silhouette

    To speak aloud before the trial

    A voice that has already been judged

    I tell you, world

    I—do—not—believe!

    If a thousand challengers lie trampled beneath your feet

    Count me as number one thousand and one.

    I don't believe the sky is blue

    I don't believe in thunder's echoes

    I don't believe that dreams are false

    I don't believe in death without retribution

    If the sea is destined to breach the dykes

    Let all the water of bitterness flow into my heart

    If the land is destined to rise up

    Let humanity choose a new summit for existence again.

    A new turning point and flickering stars

    Embroidered now across the unobstructed heavens

    These are the pictographs of five thousand years

    These are the staring eyes of future generations.

【《回答》】

北岛(1949生—)

                卑鄙是卑鄙者的通行证，

                高尚是高尚者的墓志铭。 

                看吧，在那镀金的天空中，

                飘满了死者弯曲的倒影。

                冰川纪过去了，

                为什么到处都是冰凌？

                好望角发现了，

                为什么死海里千帆相竞？

                我来到这个世界上，

                只带着纸、绳索和身影，

                为了在审判之前，

                宣读那些被判决的声音：

                告诉你吧，世界，

                我——不——相——信！

                纵使你脚下有一千名挑战者，

                那就把我算做第一千零一名。 

                我不相信天是蓝的；

                我不相信雷的回声；

                我不相信梦是假的；

                我不相信死无报应。

                如果海洋注定要决堤，

                让所有的苦水注入我心中；

                如果陆地注定要上升，

                就让人类重新选择生存的峰顶。

                新的转机和闪闪的星斗，

                正在缀满没有遮拦的天空，

                那是五千年的象形文字，

                那是未来人们凝视的眼睛。
