Rice Grains Hsu ChiCheng

I often see
The ants carrying rice grains
One ant, two ants, three ants …
Swarms of ants

How toilsome!
They make the utmost effort

Rice grains are hard to find
Rice grains are heavy
Carrying, ants
With their small bodies
With their tiny feet
We seem to see them dripping all over with sweat
Seem to hear them breathing like an ox
Sometimes they contend for rice grains
Fall down or are hurt or are caught with a disease or they die

How toilsome!
Even if the load is an overburden
They have to be burdened
Which is fated!

中文原詩如后:

     飯粒    許其正

經常看見

螞蟻搬著飯粒

一隻螞蟻，兩隻螞蟻……

成群的螞蟻

搬得好辛苦呀！

他們使出了全身心力

飯粒難尋

飯粒沉重

搬著，螞蟻

用小小的身子扛

用小小的腳走路

似乎可以看到他們全身汗流浹背

似乎可以聽到他們氣喘如牛

有時還為之爭鬥

摔倒，受傷，生病，死亡

搬得好辛苦呀！

即使不勝負荷

他們還是非搬不可

是命定的呀！
