试译《飞鸟集》171-175

１７１

Either you have work or you have not.

When you have to say, "Let us do something", then begins mischief.

劳作或闲适，心专增裨益。

漫无目的时，烦恼悄然至。

１７２

The sunflower blushed to own the nameless flower as her kin.

The sun rose and smiled on it, saying, "Are you well, my darling?"

傲骄向日葵，羞与凡花随。

冉冉朝阳升，微微笑语迎。

１７３

Who drives me forward like fate?

The Myself striding on my back.

何人似命运，驱使我前行？

自我助心力，脊梁跨步横！

１７４

The clouds fill the watercups of the river, hiding themselves in the distant hills.

云水从天至，河流杯漾溢。

深藏山壑里，无处觅踪迹。

１７５

I spill water from my water jar as I walk on my way,

Very little remains for my home.

手持水罐行，水洒几零星。

待到归家后，罐中甚少盛。

注：受网友启发，觉得174与李翱诗句“云在青天水在瓶”有异曲同工之妙。
