台阶

樊功生

是的

有了你

才能上去

又 亏了你

才能下

安然着地... 

踩着你上去的

没有谁感激你

都在盯着更高的楼台... 

踏着你下来的

顾不上打招呼

便消声匿迹了... 

你默默蹲在那里

看着面色凝重的人们

忙着上 

慌着下

仿佛

在见证一个大时代... 

Stairs

By Ken Fan

Yes,

Only because of you,

We could move up.

And also because of you,

We could come down,

Safely.

Those who stepped on you on the way up

Never thanked you,

Only staring at even higher platforms...

Those who descended over you

Never say hello to you, 

And vanished instantly...

You stay there quietly, 

And watch all those concerned faces, 

Up and

Down,

As if witnessing a grand era...
