月 升 的 時刻 朗讀 的 詩 moon|rise|possessive particle|time|reading|possessive particle|poem The moment the moon rises, reciting poetry.

我 曾經 在 東部 的 石梯坪 在 一個月 圓 的 晚上 I|once|at|eastern|possessive particle|Shitiping|on|one month|full|possessive particle|night I once recited this poem with many students on a full moon night at the stone steps in the east.

跟 很多 學生 一起 念 這首詩 with|many|students|together|read|this poem But I don't know why,

但是 不 知道 為 什麼 but|not|know|for|why until now.

一直 到 現在 all the way|until|now But until today

包括 剛才 including|just now Including just now

念詩 的 時候 reciting poetry|possessive particle|time When reciting poetry

我 還是 有 一種 心虛 I|still|have|a kind of|guilty conscience I still have a sense of guilt

我 想 心虛 是 I|want|guilty conscience|am I think the sense of guilt is

我 不 知道 詩 在 這個 世界 上 扮演 什麼 角色 I|not|know|poetry|in|this|world|on|plays|what|role I don't know what role poetry plays in this world

如果 到處 是 戰爭 if|everywhere|is|war What if there is war everywhere?

如果 到處 有 饑荒 if|everywhere|there is|famine What if there is famine everywhere?

如果 到處 有人 與 人的 仇恨 與 廝殺 if|everywhere|there are people|and|people's|hatred|and|killing What if there is hatred and slaughter among people everywhere?

那 一首 詩 能夠 挽救 什麼 that|a|poem|can|save|what What can a poem save?

我 不停 地 在 懷疑 自己 所 做 的 這件 事 I|constantly|adverbial particle|at|doubt|myself|particle indicating possession|doing|possessive particle|this|thing I keep doubting what I am doing.

那 當 我 知道 有 十八 分鐘 then|when|I|know|have|eighteen|minutes When I knew there were eighteen minutes

可以 跟 一些 朋友 分享 中秋節 的 夜晚 時候 can|with|some|friends|share|Mid-Autumn Festival|possessive particle|night|time to share the Mid-Autumn Festival night with some friends,

我 在 想 能 不能 一天 二十四小 試 這麼 漫長 I|am|thinking|can|cannot|one day|twenty-four hours|try|so|long I was wondering if I could stretch a day of twenty-four hours so long.

我們 留 十八 分鐘 給 一首 詩 we|leave|eighteen|minutes|for|a|poem Let's leave eighteen minutes for a poem.

我 想 完 以後 覺得 可能 還是 很 奢侈 吧 I|want|to finish|in the future|feel|probably|still|very|luxurious|sentence final particle I thought afterwards that it might still be quite extravagant.

如果 今天 跟 一個 在 職場 的 朋友 忙 得 不得了 if|today|with|a|at|workplace|possessive particle|friend|busy|degree particle|extremely If today I am busy with a friend in the workplace.

說 你 可不可以 每天 留 十八 分鐘 給 一首 詩 say|you|can|every day|leave|eighteen|minutes|for|a|poem I would say, can you spare eighteen minutes every day for a poem?

我 相信 他 也許 還是 會 反駁 我 I|believe|he|maybe|still|will|refute|me I believe he might still argue with me.

我 就 退 了 一步 I|then|step back|past tense marker|one step So I take a step back.

我 想 詩 永遠 都 在 退一步 吧 I|want|poetry|forever|all|in|take a step back|suggestion particle I think poetry is always about taking a step back.

因為 它 沒有 辦法 在 現實 的 世界 裡 跟 任何 的 東西 because|it|has no|way|in|reality|possessive particle|world|inside|with|any|possessive particle|thing Because it has no way to compete with anything in the real world.

去 掙 什麼 東西 go|earn|what|thing To strive for something.

所以 它 只好 退一步 so|it|had no choice but to|take a step back So it has to take a step back.

我 的 退一步 是 想 I|possessive particle|take a step back|is|thought My step back is to think.

那麼 一年 的 三百六十五天 then|one year|possessive particle|three hundred sixty-five days About the three hundred sixty-five days of the year.

可不可以 留 十八 分鐘 給 一首 詩 can (I)|leave|eighteen|minutes|for|a|poem Can we leave eighteen minutes for a poem?

最後 我 想 我 還是 退一步 finally|I|think|I|still|take a step back In the end, I think I will still take a step back.

我 在 想 一個 人 的 一生 I|am|thinking|one|person|possessive particle|lifetime I am thinking about a person's lifetime.

有沒有 可能 留 十八 分鐘 給 一首 詩 is there|possibility|leave|eighteen|minutes|for|a|poem Is it possible to leave eighteen minutes for a poem?

僅僅 十八 分鐘 only|eighteen|minutes Just eighteen minutes.

可是 我 想夠 了 but|I|have thought enough|past tense marker But I think it's enough.

如果 記得 那 十八 分鐘 if|remember|that|eighteen|minutes If I remember those eighteen minutes.

曾經 看到 一個 春天 once|saw|a|spring I once saw a spring.

滿山 被 杜鵑花 染紅 掉 the whole mountain|by|azaleas|dyed red|fallen The mountains were dyed red by azaleas.

我 跟 學生 以前 常常 去 I|with|student|before|often|went I used to often go with students.

三月 的 時候 二月 初 其實 就 開始 了 March|possessive particle|time|February|beginning|actually|already|started|past tense marker In March, it actually started in early February.

大概 陽明山 的 杜鵑 probably|Yangmingshan|possessive particle|azalea Probably the azaleas in Yangmingshan.

整個 山 都 紅 了 whole|mountain|all|red|past tense marker The whole mountain turned red.

五月 的 時候 有 一個 地方 是 非常 漂亮 的 May|possessive particle|time|has|a|place|is|very|beautiful|adjectival particle In May, there is a place that is very beautiful.

就是 合歡山 的 北峰 it is|Hehuanshan|possessive particle|North Peak That is the North Peak of Hehuanshan.

它 是 高山 杜鵑 it|is|alpine|rhododendron It is the Rhododendron of high mountains.

大概 看到 幾百 公尺 長 的 approximately|saw|several hundred|meters|long|possessive particle Probably seen a few hundred meters long.

山 的 稜 線 上 全 是 紅顏色 mountain|possessive particle|ridge|line|on|all|is|red color The ridge of the mountain is all red.

我 的 學生 常常 會 用 一些 I|possessive particle|student|often|can|use|some My students often use some.

我 覺得 我 寫 不 出來 的 詩句 去 形容 I feel like I can't write the verses to describe it.

他 說 哇 老師 he|said|wow|teacher He said, 'Wow, teacher.'

那個 山 好像 在 吐血 唷 that|mountain|seems|at|spitting blood|particle indicating surprise or realization That mountain looks like it's spitting blood.

我 寫 不出 這個 句子 I|write|cannot write|this|sentence I can't write this sentence.

我 覺得 那個 句子 太 棒了 I|think|that|sentence|too|awesome I think that sentence is amazing.

因為 我 相信 生命 裡面 有 一個 什麼 東西 because|I|believe|life|inside|has|a|something|thing Because I believe there is something in life.

可以 讓 他 活著 沒有 遺憾 can|let|him|live|without|regrets Can let him live without regrets.

所以 是 那個 血 在 濺 崩 so|is|that|blood|at|splatter|collapse So that blood splattered.

所以 古代 就 有 一個 故事 叫做 杜鵑啼血 so|ancient times|already|had|a|story|called|the cuckoo crying blood So in ancient times, there was a story called the cuckoo crying blood.

是 一個 死去 的 帝王 他 的 魂魄 老是 走 不 掉 is|a|dead|possessive particle|emperor|he|possessive particle|soul|always|leave|not|away It is about a dead emperor whose soul could not leave.

所以 它 變成 了 一個 杜鵑鳥 so|it|became|past tense marker|a|cuckoo So it turned into a cuckoo bird.

不斷 地 叫 不斷 地 叫 Constantly calling, constantly calling.

最後 牠 就 噴出 血 來 finally|it|then|spurted out|blood|come In the end, it spat out blood.

把 所有 白色 的 花 染紅 to dye|all|white|possessive particle|flowers|red Dyeing all the white flowers red.

那 是 杜鵑花 的 故事 的 來源 that|is|azalea|possessive particle|story|possessive particle|source That is the source of the story of the azalea.

而 我 總 記憶 這個 島嶼 裡 and|I|always|remember|this|island|inside And I always remember this island.

好幾次 春天 的 杜鵑 several times|spring|possessive particle|azalea Several times the azaleas of spring.

我 也 曾經 在 這個 島嶼 比較 高 的 地方 I|also|once|at|this|island|relatively|high|possessive particle|place I have also been in a higher place on this island.

看到 好多 的 河流 往 下流 下去 see|many|possessive particle|rivers|towards|flow|down I saw many rivers flowing down.

我 自己 小時候 住 在 大龍峒 I|myself|childhood|lived|in|Dalongdong When I was a child, I lived in Dalongdong.

它 是 淡水 河邊 的 一段 土地 it|is|freshwater|riverside|possessive particle|a section of|land It is a piece of land by the Tamsui River.

我們 常常 在 淡水河 裡 玩 we|often|at|Tamsui River|inside|play We often play in the Tamsui River.

可是 我 知道 淡水河 but|I|know|Tamsui River But I know the Tamsui River.

大龍峒 的 上面 有 大稻埕 Dalongdong|possessive particle|above|has|Dadaocheng Above Dalongdong is Dadaocheng.

大稻埕 的 上面 有 艋舺 萬華 Dadaocheng|possessive particle|above|has|Bangka|Wanhua Above Dadaocheng is Mengjia Wanhua.

萬華 的 上面 有 新店溪 Wanhua|possessive particle|above|has|Xindian River Above Wanhua is Xindian Creek.

再 上面 有 北勢溪 again|above|there is|Beishi River Above there is Beishi Creek.

所以 這條 河流 從 它 的 發源 上游 一路 下來 so|this|river|from|it|possessive particle|source|upstream|all the way|downstream So this river flows all the way down from its source upstream.

流經 了 一個 城市 flows through|past tense marker|a|city It passes through a city.

現在 我 住 在 它 入海口 的 地方 在 八里 now|I|live|in|it|river mouth|possessive particle|place|in|Bali Now I live at its estuary in Bali.

好像 生命 也 到了 下游 seems|life|also|has arrived|downstream It seems like life has also reached downstream.

可是 我 覺得 生命 在 一個 入海口 的 地方 的 時候 but|I|feel|life|at|a|river estuary|possessive particle|place|possessive particle|time But I think life is at a place where it enters the sea.

其實 有 它 的 遼闊 actually|has|it|possessive particle|vastness In fact, it has its vastness.

經過 北勢溪 新店溪 艋 舺 passing by|Beishi River|Xindian River|boat|small boat Passing through Beishi River, Xindian River, and Bangka.

大稻埕 大龍峒 社子島 一直 到 出海 Dadaocheng|Dalongdong|Shezi Island|straight|to|the sea From Dadaocheng, Dalongdong, to Shazidong, all the way to the sea.

我 相信 它 有 它 一生 的 回憶 I|believe|it|has|it|lifetime|possessive particle|memories I believe it has its memories of a lifetime.

所以 在 剛才 讀給 大家 的 詩裡 so|at|just now|read to|everyone|possessive particle|in the poem So in the poem I just read to everyone

可能 有 一個 春天 的 杜鵑 開放 過 possibly|has|a|spring|possessive particle|azalea|bloom|past action particle there may have been a spring azalea that bloomed

沒有 遺憾 地 開放 過 no|regret|adverbial particle|opened|past tense marker bloomed without regret

曾經 有 千萬條 的 江河 Once there were millions of rivers

去 流向 唯一 的 一個 海洋 go|flow towards|only|possessive particle|one|ocean flowing towards a single ocean

曾經 在 澎湖 的 吉貝 島 once|at|Penghu|possessive particle|Jibei|island Once on Jibei Island in Penghu

那個 吉貝 島 的 沙灘 全部 是 白色 的 沙 that|Giabei|island|possessive particle|beach|all|is|white|possessive particle|sand The beach on Jibei Island was all white sand

貝殼 沙 shell|sand Shell sand

然後 在 一個月 圓的 晚上 then|at|one month|full|night Then on a night of a full moon

等到 月亮 比較 低沉 以後 when|moon|relatively|low|after Wait until the moon is lower

大概 已經 到 凌晨 probably|already|arrive|early morning It is probably already close to midnight.

接近 凌晨 的 時候 close to|early morning|possessive particle|time Around the time close to midnight.

滿天 的 繁星 亮 起來 the whole sky|possessive particle|countless stars|bright|lit up The sky is filled with bright stars.

那個 學生會 抓著 你 大叫 that|student council|grabbing|you|shouting That student council member grabs you and shouts.

那 他 這次 沒有 講 吐血 then|he|this time|did not|say|spit blood This time, he didn't mention spitting blood.

他 找不到 句子 He|cannot find|sentence He can't find the words.

他 就 熱淚盈眶 He|then|tears welling up in his eyes He is filled with tears.

我 很 喜歡 看 學生 熱淚盈眶 的 樣子 I|very|like|watching|student|with tears in their eyes|possessive particle|appearance I really like to see students filled with tears.

因為 我 覺得 他 看到 詩了 because|I|think|he|saw|the poem Because I think he has seen poetry.

那 他 會 記得 他 生命 裡 有過 十八 分鐘 then|he|will|remember|he|life|in|had|eighteen|minutes Then he will remember that he had eighteen minutes in his life.

也許 是 在 合歡山 的 北峰 maybe|is|at|Hehuanshan|possessive particle|North Peak Maybe it is on the northern peak of Hehuanshan.

也許 是 在 吉貝 的 海邊 maybe|is|at|Jibei|possessive particle|beach Maybe it is by the seaside of Jibei.

那 同樣 地 我 想 then|similarly|adverbial particle|I|want Similarly, I think.

曾經 在 九百多年 前 今天 的 晚上 有 一個 詩人 once|at|over nine hundred years|ago|today|possessive particle|evening|there was|a|poet Once, over nine hundred years ago, on this evening, there was a poet.

明月 幾時 有 bright moon|when|has When will the bright moon appear?

把酒 問 青天 raise a glass of wine|ask|blue sky Pouring wine, I ask the blue sky.

不知 天上 宮闕 今夕 是 何年 do not know|in the sky|palaces|tonight|is|what year I do not know what year it is tonight in the heavenly palace.

他 在 問 月亮 He|is|asking|the moon He is asking the moon.

他 想要 回到 他 天上 的 故鄉 去 he|wants|return to|his|in the sky|possessive particle|hometown|to go He wants to return to his hometown in the sky.

蘇東坡 大家 太 熟悉 他 的 水調歌頭 Su Dongpo|everyone|too|familiar with|he|possessive particle|Water Melody Su Dongpo, everyone is too familiar with his 'Water Melody'.

他 最後 所說 的 是 he|finally|what he said|possessive particle|is What he said in the end was

月 有 陰晴圓缺 moon|has|phases of the moon The moon has its phases of fullness and emptiness

人 有 悲歡離合 people|have|joys and sorrows separations and reunions People have their joys and sorrows, separations and reunions

我 在 中學 的 教科書 裡 讀 到 的 時候 I|at|middle school|possessive particle|textbook|inside|read|to|past action particle|when When I read this in my middle school textbook

忽然 發現 suddenly|realized I suddenly realized

如果 一個 文化 一個 民俗 這麼 渴望 圓 這個 東西 if|a|culture|a|custom|so|desires|to be complete|this|thing If a culture, a folk custom, longs for this thing called roundness.

大概 一月 十五 正月 十五 approximately|January|fifteenth|lunar January|fifteenth Probably January 15, the fifteenth day of the first month.

要過 元宵節 是 上元節 to celebrate|Lantern Festival|is|Shangyuan Festival To celebrate the Lantern Festival is to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival.

對 圓 的 渴望 towards|circle|possessive particle|desire The longing for roundness.

七月 十五 中元節 July|15|Ghost Festival July 15, the Zhongyuan Festival.

要 到 水裡 去 放水 燈 want|to|in the water|go|release water|light Go to the water to release the lanterns.

召喚 所有 沒有 主人 的 亡魂 回來 summon|all|without|master|possessive particle|souls|return Summon all the souls without masters to return.

跟 我們 共享 人間 的 歡樂 with|us|share|human world|possessive particle|joy Share the joys of the human world with us.

還有 中秋 also have|Mid-Autumn Festival And the Mid-Autumn Festival.

是 一年 月亮 最圓 的 時刻 is|year|moon|fullest|possessive particle|moment Is the time when the moon is fullest in a year.

他 對 圓 的 渴望 he|towards|circle|possessive particle|desire His desire for the round.

我 忽然 在 蘇東坡 的 詩裡 I|suddenly|in|Su Dongpo|possessive particle|in the poem I suddenly found it in Su Dongpo's poetry.

說 月 有 陰晴圓缺 say|moon|has|phases of the moon It says the moon has its phases of fullness and emptiness.

才 知道 圓的 渴望 only|know|round|desire Only then did I realize that the desire for roundness.

是 因為 太多太多 殘缺 is|because|too many|deficiencies Is because of too many imperfections.

我們 是 懷抱 著 許許多多 人生 的 殘缺 we|are|embrace|continuous aspect marker|many|life|possessive particle|imperfections We embrace many imperfections of life.

去 渴望 有 一天 它 好圓 go|desire|have|one day|it|very round We long for a day when it is perfectly round.

所以 我 記得 小時候 吃飯 的 桌子 是圓 的 So I remember that the dining table when I was a child was round.

有 一次 在 巴黎 有 一個 法國 的 作家 問 我 there is|once|in|Paris|there is|a|French|possessive particle|writer|asked|me Once in Paris, a French writer asked me.

她 因為 研究 文 化學 的 比較 She|because|study|language|chemistry|possessive particle|comparison She was studying comparative cultural studies.

那個 Julia Christopher that|Julia|Christopher That Julia Christopher

她 問 我 說 She|asked|me|said She asked me

為什麼 你們 的 桌子 都 是 圓的 why|you (plural)|possessive particle|table|all|are|round Why are all your tables round?

她 當時 剛好 從 東方 回去 She|at that time|just|from|the East|returned She had just returned from the East at that time.

我 從來沒 想過 這個 問題 I|never|thought about|this|question I had never thought about this question.

我 覺得 本來 就是 圓的 I|think|originally|is just|round I think it is originally round.

可是 當然 在 巴黎 的話 but|of course|in|Paris|if But of course, in Paris,

多半 是 方 的 或者 長方 的 mostly|is|square|possessive particle|or|rectangle|possessive particle most of them are square or rectangular.

圓的 是 比較 少 round|is|relatively|few Round ones are relatively few.

我們 才 知道 圓 在 某 一個 文化 裡 we|only then|know|circle|in|a certain|one|culture|inside We only know that roundness exists in a certain culture.

它 是 對於 殘缺 的 對抗 it|is|towards|deficiency|possessive particle|resistance It is a resistance against imperfection.

它 多麼 渴望 用 這個 圓的 渴望 it|how|desires|to use|this|round|desire How it longs to use this round desire.

即使 它 很 短 即使 它 只有 十八 分鐘 Even if it is very short, even if it is only eighteen minutes.

它 用 這 十八 分鐘 It|used|this|eighteen|minutes It uses these eighteen minutes.

去 對抗 所有 的 苦難 跟 殘缺 go|against|all|possessive particle|suffering|and|imperfections To resist all suffering and imperfection.

戰爭 太 多 war|too|much Too much war

戰亂 太 多 war|too|much Too much chaos

流亡 太 多 exile|too|many Too much exile

它 特別 懂得 圓的 渴望 it|especially|understands|round|desire It particularly understands the desire for wholeness

特別 期待 那個 圓的 渴望 especially|looking forward to|that|round|desire Especially looking forward to that desire for wholeness

所以 我 想 我們 剛才 所說 到 的 so|I|think|we|just now|what was said|about|past tense particle So I think what we just talked about

花 的 開放 月 的 圓 flower|possessive particle|blooming|moon|possessive particle|round the blooming of flowers and the fullness of the moon

很 容易 被 嘲笑 風花雪月 very|easily|by|laughed at|frivolous things is easily mocked as romantic and fanciful

所以 大家 對 詩 其實 有時候 會 有 一種 害怕 so|everyone|towards|poetry|actually|sometimes|will|have|a kind of|fear So sometimes people actually have a kind of fear towards poetry

那個 害怕 是 它 會 不會 落入 到 這麼 不 現實 的 虛無飄渺 的 世界 that|fear|is|it|will|will not|fall into|into|so|not|reality|possessive particle|ethereal|possessive particle|world That fear is whether it will fall into such an unrealistic and ethereal world.

可是 我 想當然 不是 but|I|obviously|am not But I certainly do not want to.

它 在 苦難 裡 安慰 了 好多好多 的 人 it|in|suffering|inside|comforted|past tense marker|many many|possessive particle|people It has comforted so many people in suffering.

那 剛 才 朱平 所 解釋 的 同理 心 這個 字 that|just|now|Zhu Ping|(particle indicating action completed)|explained|(possessive particle)|similar reasoning|heart|this|character What Zhu Ping just explained about empathy.

我 相信 愛是 喜悅 可以 分享 I|believe|love is|joy|can|share I believe love is joy that can be shared.

我 相信 愛是 苦難 可以 分擔 I|believe|love is|suffering|can|share I believe love is suffering that can be shared.

所以 它 可以 在 不同 的 文化 裡 得到 一樣 的 共鳴 so|it|can|in|different|(possessive particle)|culture|inside|receive|the same|(possessive particle)|resonance So it can resonate the same way in different cultures.

我們 所說 到 的 詩 可能 是 剛才 說 的 內容 we|said|to|possessive particle|poem|might|is|just now|said|possessive particle|content The poetry we are talking about may be the content mentioned earlier.

可是 當然 我們 在 文學 裡 我們 會 覺得 but|of course|we|in|literature|inside|we|will|feel However, of course, in literature, we feel that.

詩 並 不 只 把 文字 放在 一起 poetry|and|not|only|(a preposition)|words|placed|together Poetry does not just put words together.

表達 一個 意思 express|one|meaning It expresses a meaning.

大部份 文化 的 詩 最早 most|culture|possessive particle|poetry|earliest Most of the poetry of culture was not written down at first.

都 不是 用 文字 書寫 用 眼睛 去 看 的 all|not|using|written language|writing|using|eyes|to|see|particle indicating past action It was not meant to be read with the eyes.

其實 是 用 語言 去 朗誦 用 耳朵 去 聽 的 actually|is|using|language|to|recite|using|ears|to|listen|particle indicating completed action In fact, it was recited with language and listened to with the ears.

荷馬 的 史詩 希臘 的 史詩 Homer's epics, the Greek epics,

是 拿 著 樂器 彈唱 的 were performed with musical instruments.

印度 的 摩訶 婆羅 多 羅摩衍那 India|possessive particle|Maha|Brahma|great|Ramayana The Mahabharata of India

可以 無止 無盡 地 八萬 句 這樣 唱 一直 唱 下去 can|without stopping|endless|adverbial particle|eighty thousand|sentences|like this|sing|continuously|sing|go on Can be sung endlessly in eighty thousand verses like this

中國 的 詩經 是 不 識字 的 種田 的 男女 China|possessive particle|Book of Songs|is|not|literate|possessive particle|farming|possessive particle|men and women The Book of Songs in China is sung by illiterate men and women working in the fields

唱出來 的 Sung out

關關雎 鳩 在 河 之 洲 The sound of the ospreys|dove|at|river|possessive particle|islet The ospreys are calling on the river islet

等到 整理 成 文字 是 非常 晚 的 事情 by the time|organizing|into|text|is|very|late|possessive particle|thing By the time it is organized into text, it is very late.
