Please Call Me by My True Names/ Thich Nhat Hanh
Don't say that I will depart tomorrow --別說明日我將離去，
even today I am still arriving.因為今天我依舊前來。
Look deeply: every second I am arriving請深入觀察我：我分分秒秒都前來，
to be a bud on a Spring branch,作春天枝頭上的一朵蓓蕾，
to be a tiny bird, with still-fragile wings,作一隻羽翼未豐的雛鳥，
learning to sing in my new nest,在新巢中學習引吭高唱，
to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower,作花蕊中的一條毛毛蟲，
to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.作埋身岩壁的一顆寶石。
I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry,我依舊前來，為了要歡笑，為了要哭泣，
to fear and to hope.為了要害怕，為了要期望。
The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death
of all that is alive.我心臟的律動
就是一切眾生的生與死。
I am the mayfly metamorphosing
on the surface of the river.我是河面上蛻變的蜉蝣，
And I am the bird
that swoops down to swallow the mayfly.我也是在大地春回及時前來掠食蜉蝣的鳥。
I am the frog swimming happily
in the clear water of a pond.我是悠游於清澈池塘的青蛙，
And I am the grass-snake
that silently feeds itself on the frog.我也是悄悄前近吞食青蛙的草蛇。
I am the child in Uganda,我是烏干達的小孩，
all skin and bones,my legs as thin as bamboo sticks.全身只剩皮包骨，雙腿細如竹竿
And I am the arms merchant,我也是軍火販子，
selling deadly weapons to Uganda.出售致命武器給烏干達。
I am the twelve-year-old girl,
refugee on a small boat,我是小船上那名十二歲的難民少女，
who throws herself into the ocean
after being raped by a sea pirate.被一個海盜強暴後，跳海自盡；
And I am the pirate,我也是那個海盜，
my heart not yet capable
of seeing and loving.我的心還被矇蔽，無法愛人。
I am a member of the politburo,
with plenty of power in my hands.我是最高決策當局的一員，大權在握；
And I am the man who has to pay
his "debt of blood" to my people我也是必須償還人民「血債」的人，
dying slowly in a forced-labor camp.在勞改營裡緩慢地死去。
My joy is like Spring, so warm我的喜悅像春天－ 如此溫暖，
it makes flowers bloom all over the Earth.讓世間百花盛開；
My pain is like a river of tears,我的痛苦如淚河－
so vast it fills the four oceans.如此氾濫，讓四海滿溢。
Please call me by my true names,請以種種真實之名呼喚我，
so I can hear all my cries and my laughter at once,我才能同時聽見我所有的哭泣與歡笑，
so I can see that my joy and pain are one.我才能看到我的喜悅與痛苦是一體。
Please call me by my true names,請以種種真實之名呼喚我，
so I can wake up,我才能覺醒，
and so the door of my heart
can be left open,也才能讓我的心門敞開，
the door of compassion.那正是慈悲之門。
