刚才，你还站在

这个公园的树枝上

本能地咕咕而鸣

不意一个顽童

拿着弹弓瞄准你射击

好在他没打准

你一惊，扑翅疾飞而去

难怪你疾飞而去呀

人们都说得很好听

他们要维护自然生态

他们要保护动物

他们要和万物和平共处

却不择手段

戕害他们以外的动物

为满足他们的口欲

为满足他们的支配欲

为满足他们的权力欲

做出不仁不义的事

好在那顽童没打准

好在他不是用鸟枪

你侥幸逃过了一劫

别认为只对你和你的同类

他们对世间万物也都如此

甚至对他们的同类也不放过

真叫人痛心疾首！

斑鸠呀，你飞吧

飞得越远越好

最好是深山里

最好是没有人类的地方

只是哪里去找这样的地方呢？

哪里有这种净土呢？

愿你能找到，在那里

安心过自由自在的日子

O, Turtledove, Fly Away　 Hsu ChiCheng

Just now, you are standing

On the branches of this garden

Cooing instinctively

Unexpectedly a naughty boy

Shoots at you with a sling

Luckily he misses the target

Startled, you flap and fly away

No wonder you fly away

All people are sweet of words

Claiming to protect natural ecology

Claiming to protect birds and animals

Claiming to get along peacefully with all things under heaven

But they resort to fair means or foul

To harm and hurt other birds or animals

To satisfy their taste and appetite

To satisfy their lust of domination

To satisfy their desire for power

They do wicked things

Lucky the boy misses his target

Lucky the boy is not using a shotgun

And you escape the fire

But don’t think they only treat you and yours like so

They treat everything in the world alike

Even their sisters and brothers

How regrettable and lamentable!

O, turtledove, fly away

Away from here

Best into the deep mountain

Where there is no human trace

But where to find such a secluded place?

Where can we find such a pure land?

Still I hope you can find it, where

You can live a life free from care and caution@
