万一你不来-零零零陆伍(今天你是第六十五次没来)
I had gone a-begging from door to door in the village path, when thy golden chariot appeared in the distance like a gorgeous dream and I wondered who was this King of all kings!
My hopes rose high and methought my evil days were at an end, and I stood waiting for alms to be given unasked and for wealth scattered on all sides in the dust.
The chariot stopped where I stood. Thy glance fell on me and thou camest down with a smile. I felt that the luck of my life had come at last. Then of a sudden thou didst hold out thy right hand and say `What hast thou to give to me?'
Ah, what a kingly jest was it to open thy palm to a beggar to beg! I was confused and stood undecided, and then from my wallet I slowly took out the least little grain of corn and gave it to thee.
But how great my surprise when at the day's end I emptied my bag on the floor to find a least little gram of gold among the poor heap. I bitterly wept and wished that I had had the heart to give thee my all.
我沿街祈祷,远远望去你坐着金辇就像我梦中财神座驾,我想我就要富贵荣华了。
我站在路旁,等待你到来的施舍,就像等待诸侯之主。
我惊呆错愕,你不但没有施舍,反而向我索要。
我犹豫不绝,拿出了最小的玉米粒递给你。
我后悔不已,你换给我一粒金玉米,让我知道“没有舍,就没有得,贫穷与富有只差一步之遥”。
