泰戈尔诗歌精选 (40)吉檀迦利35
35.Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
35.在那里,心是无畏的,头也抬得高昂;
Where knowledge is free;
在那里,知识是自由的;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
在那里,世界还没有被狭小的家国的墙隔成片段;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
在那里,话是从真理的深处说出;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
在那里,不懈的努力向着“完美”伸臂;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
在那里,理智的清泉没有沉没在积习的荒漠之中;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—Into that heaven of freedom,my Father, let my country awake.
在那里,心灵是受你的指引,走向那不断放宽的思想与行为--进入那自由的天国,我的父呵,让我的国家觉醒起来罢。
