Getting Lost When Climbing a Mountain     Hsu ChiCheng

That year, I got lost when climbing a mountain

Then I was young
And like mountaineering very much
That day, as I climbed towards the top
I got lost
It did not happen before
I wondered why I got lost on the half way!

That moment, a heavy fog shrouded the mountain
It was winter, very cold
I kept shuddering
And my sight grew dim
I only felt, ahead were
A series of massive mountain ranges
Groves close to each other
Difficulties appearing one by one
All seemed endless
I wandered about
But could not find my way
Blocked everywhere
Without any help
I was terror-stricken, almost cries

It seemed
That I had no way to choose
Yet I didn’t give up
After pondering over for a while
I tried what I could
And use my brains
To have find the way
Finally, I had got out
Of that nightmare
And embracing lightness again…

附中文原詩如后:

     登山迷路記    許其正

那年，曾經在爬山途中迷路

那已是多年前的事了

那時，我還年輕，喜歡爬山

那天，爬著，爬著

不知為什麼

竟然在途中迷路了

那可是從來沒有過的事！

那時，霧好濃，又加上

是冬天，寒氣逼人

視線是模糊又模糊

人因害怕加寒冷，不住發抖

感覺上，前面是

一個山頭接一個山頭

一片樹林接一片樹林

一個困難接一個困難

彷彿無止無盡

我左衝右突

卻處處受阻

不是碰上山就是碰上樹

在這毫無救援境遇下

真是膽戰心驚，欲哭無淚

那已幾乎無路可走

但是，我不放棄

其實也不容放棄

經過多方思考，百般試探

全身力氣幾乎用盡

所有方法也幾乎想盡

畢竟有心鐵石可穿

吃盡辛苦必得甜果

我終於走出了那個惡夢

歡欣地重新擁抱了光明……
