舒婷《致橡树》英文版

　　To The Oak
　　Shu ting

　　If I love you
　　I won't wind upon you like a trumpet creeper
　　upvalue myself by your height
　　If I love you
　　I will never follow a spoony bird
　　repeating the monotone song for the green shade
　　not only like a springhead
　　brings you clean coolness whole year long
　　not only like a steepy peak
　　enhances your height, sets off your straightness
　　even sunshine
　　and spring rain
　　No, all these are not enough!
　　I must be a ceiba by your side
　　as a tree standing together with you
　　our roots melt underneath
　　our leaves merge in clouds
　　when wind breezes
　　we greet each other
　　but no one
　　can understand our peculiar words
　　you have your strong stem and branches
　　like knives and swords
　　and like halberds
　　I have my red ample flowers
　　like heavy sighs
　　and heroic torches as well
　　we partake cold tide,thunder storm,firebolt
　　together we share brume,flowing mist,rainbow
　　as if we separate all the time
　　actually we forever rely on each other
　　this is great love
　　loyalty lives here
　　Love
　　not only your giant body
　　but also the position you stand，the earth under your feet
