Believe in the Future
by Shi Zhi
When cobwebs relentlessly clog my stove,
When its dying smoke sighs for poverty,
I will stubbornly ①dig out the disappointing ashes,
And write with beautiful snowflakes: Believe in the Future.
When my overripe grapes melt into late autumn dew,
When my fresh flower lies in another’s arms,
I will stubbornly write on the bleak earth,
With a dry frozen vine: Believe in the Future.
I ②point to the waves billowing in the distance,
I want to be the sea that holds the sun in its palm,
Take hold of the beautiful warm pen of the dawn,
And write with a child-like hand: Believe in the Future.
The reason why I believe so resolutely in the future is:
I believe in the eyes of the future’s people,
Their eyelashes that can brush away the ash of history,
Their pupils that can see through the texts of time.
③It doesn’t matter whether people shed contrite tears,
For our rotten flesh, or our hesitancy, or the bitterness of our failure,
Whether they view us with sneers or deep-felt sympathy,
Or scornful smiles or pungent satire.
I firmly believe that people will judge our spines,
And our endless explorations, losses, failures and successes,
With an enthusiastic, objective and fair evaluation.
Yes, I await their judgement anxiously
Friends, please let us believe in the future
Believe in our unbending striving
Believe in our youth that can conquer death
Believe in the Future: believe in Life.

译文:
相信未来
当蜘蛛网无情地查封了我的炉台,
当灰烬的余烟叹息着贫困的悲哀,
我依然固执地铺平失望的灰烬,
用美丽的雪花写下: 相信未来。
当我的紫葡萄化为深秋的露水,
当我的鲜花依偎在别人的情怀,
我依然固执地用凝霜的枯藤,
在凄凉的大地上写下: 相信未来。
我要用手指那涌向天边的排浪,
我要用手掌那托起太阳的大海,
摇曳着曙光那支温暖漂亮的笔杆,
用孩子的笔体写下: 相信未来。
我之所以坚定地相信未来,
是我相信未来人们的眼睛,
她有拨开历史风尘的睫毛,
她有看透岁月篇章的瞳孔。
不管人们对于我们腐烂的皮肉,
那些迷途的惆怅、失败的苦痛,
是寄予感动的热泪、深切的同情,
还是给以轻蔑的微笑、辛辣的嘲讽。
我坚信人们对于我们的脊骨,
那无数次的探索、迷途、失败和成功,
一定会给予热情、客观、公正的评定。
是的, 我焦急地等待着他们的评定。
朋友, 坚定地相信未来吧,
相信不屈不挠的努力,
相信战胜死亡的年轻,
相信未来, 热爱生命。
