老年互勉錄    許其正

  2014/1/24大紀元時報文學世界

別去想時間可以倒流
別去想還能在父母面前撒嬌
別去想還能意氣風發地在大太陽下或風雨中跑跳
別去想「假如我再是個大一學生」
別去想那些海市蜃樓的日子
別去想那些被性荷爾蒙鼓動的「愛情」
別去想一生得意事而躊躇滿志
要面對現實
時間過去就過去了，永不再回頭
肢體已在黃昏或近了寒冬
以致這裡衰退那裡酸痛的
心裡是可以長存東昇的朝陽或春暖花開的
應該堅定自己的意志
不要為沉沉暮氣所籠罩
而整日皺眉、低頭、沉吟、苦嘆
後悔以前沒有把握住上好機會
所有病痛、煩惱、悔恨都可用意志驅走
肢體再弱再差，心靈仍可以生龍活虎
現世可以有「小老頭」的存在
為什麼不能有「老青春」的出現？
人生的「第二春」更不用說了
不是常聽說「人生七十才開始」嗎？
且斬斷歲月的羈絆絲縷
抹去它們留下的創痕
前面還有許多美好的光景
等著我們去觀賞、追尋
夕陽是無限好的
不信，且看看那天邊多彩的晚霞吧！
請昂起頭來
以少年的心志為志
舉步向前走！
別徬徨無依！
也別失去信心！
我們有我們的優勢
只要我們有信心，不氣餒
依循生涯計畫，按部就班來
幾十年累積的智慧結晶會為我們領路
不該如流星，在這裡就滑向句點

別去想時間可以倒流
別去想……

Backslapping Words in Old Age　　Hsu ChiCheng

Don’t think time can flow backwards
Don’t think to act in a pettishly charming manner before your parents
Don’t think to run and frolic freely in the sun or winds and rains
Don’t think “if I were a freshman”
Don’t think about days of mirage
Don’t think about the “love” stirred by hormone
Don’t think to enjoy a plain sailing in your life and be puffed up with pride
We shall face up to the reality
When time goes it is gone, never to be back
The limbs are near cold winter at dusk
And there are pains here and there
In the heart there be a morning sun rising or blossoming flowers in spring
We shall be determined of our will
Don’t be enveloped by dusk or gloom
Don’t be frowning, head lowering, sighing, and alasing
Regreting good chances of yore have not been grasped
All pains, worries, regrets can be driven away with a will
No matter how weak the limbs are, the heart can still be full of vigor and vitality
In the world there is the existence of “little old man”
Why cannot we have “old youth”?
Let alone “the second spring” of human beings
It is often said “life begins at seventy”
Just cut off the fetters of years
And erase their traces
Many beautiful scenes are awaiting ahead
For us to find and appreciate
Sublime is the setting sun
If you don’t believe it, just see the colorful clouds on the horizon!
Please raise your head
With the ambition of a youth
Charge forward!
Don’t hesitate!
Don’t lose your heart!
We have our own advantages
So long as we have confidence, and not lose heart
In accordance with our life career, and do things as planned
The crystallization of decades of wisdom will lead our road
And shall not, like a falling star, fall toward the full stop

Don’t think time can flow backwards
Don’t think …
