父亲死前只给我留下了月亮
“我死后，你还会有月亮”
他说完不久真的上了天堂
但我至今还听到他在对我讲
“我的孩子，我给你的月亮
并不能让你远离痛苦、疯狂和死亡
但你一定要走出去，挺起胸膛
因为快乐老爸给你留下了月亮”
All my father left me was the moon
“when I am dead, it’s yours.” He said
And all too soon his will was read
But he continued speaking from the grave:
“it will not save you, this moon I gave you
from sadness, human madness, life and death.
But step outside into the night and take a breath.
And while you do, for what it is worth,
That happy man up there who got away from earth
Will smile at you"

后注：新西兰历史最悠久的华人报约应该是《华页》了，老板苏文德先生是我的朋友，他时不时与我分享他见到的好东西。前几天他打电话给我，与我分享他看到的一幅澳大利亚诗人兼画家Leuig的作品（如果没听错的话），说是父亲节快到了。我家里当时没有网，他就发到我的邮箱里，今天打开一看，真的挺感人。尝试着作了以上翻译。现在澳纽两地作中英文学交流的学者同仁不少，但我个人觉得中译英难度远比英译中要大很多。
