我的远方在哪里？

夜幕降临 华灯初上
窗外的景像
如梦似幻
眼前的这条曼哈顿东河高速
即是“北京人在纽约”中
每集片頭屡屡呈现的景
再配以
那首 “千万次问”主题歌曲
生活
并不只是眼前的苟且
还有音乐、诗和远方
我的远方在哪
思绪似夜空的流星划过苍穹
上有天堂
下有苏杭
她似一颗迷人的明珠
在东方大地闪耀光芒
时刻召唤着
浪迹天涯的北美游子
杭州
名列中国七大故都
景色秀丽
人文荟萃
她是华夏文化的发祥地
是我魂牵梦绕的家乡
这片钟灵毓秀的润土
在西湖之畔
浓妆淡抹的湖景
湖水碧波荡漾
白堤绿莲依偎
柳枝轻拂
苏堤玉带晴虹
六吊拱桥
春天桃花
夏日荷
秋桂飘香
冬放梅
西湖四季
竞艳吐芳
这块生生不息的宝地
在钱江之滨
蜿蜒浩淼的钱塘江水
江边矗立的六和高塔
凭窗临风
听涛看潮
远眺江上的朝霞和余晖
引多少豪客纵情浮想
此等人间美景
每每诱我在梦中
甜蜜地笑醒
仿佛觉得
我的远方并不遥远
因为我用心系着她
游子寄语：
祝愿日夜思念的家乡杭州
永享盛世祥和、太平安康！
Where Is My Distant Hope?
By ZHOU Jie (USA)
Translation by Yuan Haiwang (USA)
Recited by Zhang Shuqin（China)
Street lights are lit as night falls.
The view outside my window
Is like a dream where a wanderer lolls.
This FDR Drive of tremendous fame
Presents scenes like Beijinger in New York,
Episode by episode and frame by frame.
Dubbed in the background theme song
Titled “Ten Million Questions,”
Life seems to be going on.
Life doesn’t have just ignoble existence,
But also music, poetry, and hope in the distance.
Where in the world is my distant hope?
Like meteors across the sky my thoughts lope.
As paradise is the best place up there,
On earth, Suzhou and Hangzhou excel.
Like a charming pearl extremely rare,
She shines bright in the east,
Always beckoning at me,
A wanderer on a North American thoroughfare.
Oh, Hangzhou,
Ranked among China’s Seven Ancient Capitals
Full of scenic beauty aglow,
Teaming with talented hopefuls.
She is the birthplace of Chinese culture;
And the hometown that in my dream doth anchor.
It’s a wondrous land of talents blessed
On the bank of the West Lake lying.
Its view is like a beauty in her best,
Its crystal-clear water rippling,
Against the White Dike lotuses nestling,
Along its banks, willow branches swaying,
O’er the jade-like Su Dike a rainbow hanging,
Like the six-arched bridges.
Peach blossoms bloom in spring;
Lotuses show burst open in summer;
Osmanthus emits fragrance in autumn;
Plums show off their beauty in winter.
The West Lake always has flowers to show,
With the four seasons that come and go.
It is a land of lives thriving forever.
Lying on the bank of the Qian River,
Which into the distance doth wind,
The Liuhe Pagoda leaving behind.
By the wind-brushed window,
I watch and hear the tide below.
Staring into the distance at the afterglow,
My thoughts surge like many a past hero.
Oh, the beauty of this land
Always seduces me into smiling
And waking me up from my dreamland,
Making me feel as if
My hope in the distance was ne’er faraway,
Because I won’t let her from my heart stray.
Message from the wanderer:
I wish my hometown Hangzhou I miss day and night
Long-lasting prosperity and peace without blight!
