结绳记事（胥璧宁英译）

挽起来

挽住所有过往

昏花的不只是眼

还有记忆

会打断会终止

时间流过驿路

风事一站，心事一站

父亲的晴雨天空

母亲的盈缩土地

和我眉眼闪逝的光斑

全都挽结

还童时看得见

瞽目后摸得着

注：结绳记事，文字发明前人们在一条绳子上打结备忘。上古时期中国和秘鲁印第安人皆有此习惯，近代一些没有文字的民族仍然结绳记载信息。

Tying the knot

Author/Ye Muyun

All of them are tied up

Best days of my past

Sight could be dim

Memories could be mixed and gone

Time flows by

May stop for the wind, or stop for the heart

Father's sunny and rainy sky

Mother's fertile and barren land

And the flickering light in my eyes

All of them are tied up

I could see it when I was a child

I could feel it after I went blind

Note: A knotted rope was used to remember things before the invention of writing. In ancient times, Chinese and Peruvian Indians used to do this. And in modern times, some non-written peoples still tie knots to record information.
