《小燕鸥》的笔记-旅行 - 旅行

也许，鸟儿终究是鸟儿，不管在地球的哪个角落。我想，星星总归是星星，纵使已经坠落到大地。
Perhaps a bird could be a bird no matter where he was stationed about the planet. If a star fell to the ground, I reasoned, then it is still a star.
我从不放弃在天空中醒来的希望，尽管我生活在陆地上。
I never give up the hope that I would awaken to the skies, even though I lived on land.
……要是不去寻思你想要的东西，你就很难得到它。
However, I surmised, it is exceedingly difficult to get what you want if you put it out of your mind.
真正的友谊，是一株慢慢长大的花。
True friendship is a flower of very slow growing.
我必须毫不犹豫地叙述这件事，以便把所有的问题公开出来。假如他因为我的弱点或坦诚而不愿跟我交往，那就随他的便吧。
I wanted to make this admission right away so that all things were out in the open, and if he were to reject me for this weakness or my honesty,then so be it.
我不知道，你想看见的东西，究竟是已经消失，还是仍然在那里，只是失去了踪迹。……有的东西，也许并没有彻底丢失，只是被放错了地方而已。
I wondered if what you see disappears or is still there, but invisible?
……Perhaps it wans't lost so much as misplaced.
我想，也许幽灵蟹希望我能够发现，等待与浪费时光的差别，以及等待与向时光学习的差别。
It occurred to me that perhaps the ghost crab had intended that I discover the difference between waiting and wasting time, and waiting and learning from time.
假如鸟儿看不出来，他的羽毛和翅膀有多么重要和美丽，他就真的不能够飞行。
A bird really cannot fly if he cannot see that his feathers and wings are truly worthy and magnificent.
我知道，我们会再次相遇。
I knew we would meet again.
