尺度

樊功生

心里都有一把尺子

只是  你的心大

能装下一把大的尺子

光洁又平滑

你让人腰杆挺直

却不衡量高低

为路人指正方向

但不测远近

在你眼里

这些是善良的人

有前程的人

值得尊重的人

你爱所有人

没有区分... 

而我的尺子

又窄又短

上面刻满了道道

是限度 标准

容不下半点丑恶

也怀疑种种善良... 

是幼稚

还是缺乏格局？

那又怎样

谁让我的空间如此狭隘？

Measure

By Ken Fan

There's a ruler in everyone's heart,

Only your heart is larger, 

That could lodge a long ruler,

Clean and smooth. 

You let others stand tall, 

Yet never measure there heights. 

You guide other's path, 

Yet not concerned about their goals. 

In your eyes,

They are all kind folks,

The ones with future,

The ones worthy of respect.

You love'em all,

With no distinction.

But my ruler,

Is short and narrow, 

With all kinds of carved marks, 

That are limits and standards.

They couldn't tolerate any ugliness,

And would doubt benevolence of any kind.

Is it just childishness, 

Or lack of any understanding? 

Yet so what? 

We are born to be petty, aren't we?
