第五篇 老巷桂香:秋日短暂的相逢

英文原文

Thin golden petals drifted down from the osmanthus trees,

carrying sweet faint fragrance

through the winding old alley.

I walked slowly under the overhanging branches,

breathing in the warm autumn air

that wrapped around every brick and tile.

An elderly woman stood beside a wooden door,

holding a small bamboo basket in her hands,

collecting fallen flowers gently.

She brushed the petals off her sleeve,

and turned her eyes toward me

with a soft and peaceful smile.

She told me she planted these osmanthus trees

together with her sister, decades ago.

When autumn came every year,

they would gather flowers side by side,

and make sweet osmanthus syrup.

Her sister moved far away many years ago,

and seldom had the chance to come back.

But every autumn,

the trees still bloomed as they once did,

pouring out the same sweet scent.

She said she still keeps making the syrup,

even if no longer shared together.

When the wind blows and flowers fall,

she feels her sister is still near,

standing beside her in the fragrant alley.

A light gust swirled more petals in the air,

spinning them down onto the stone pavement.

The sun filtered through the leaves,

casting dappled spots upon the ground.

She put a handful of golden blossoms

into my open palm.

Memories do not need to be held tightly.

They float in scent,

and linger within the quiet old lane.

I walked forward deeper into the alley,

the sweet fragrance following my steps.

Some bonds will never break with distance.

They bloom each year,

hidden in the gentle breath of autumn.

中文翻译

细碎金黄的花瓣从桂树上缓缓飘落,

携着清淡甜香,

漫过蜿蜒幽深的老巷。

我在低垂的枝桠下缓步前行,

呼吸秋日温润的空气,

这气息包裹着巷内每一块砖瓦。

一位老妇人站在木门旁,

手中提着小小的竹篮,

轻轻捡拾地上飘落的花朵。

她拂去衣袖上的花瓣,

抬眼望向我,

露出平和温柔的笑意。

她告诉我,这些桂树,

是数十年前她和妹妹一同栽种。

每到秋日来临,

她们就并肩捡拾桂花,

熬制香甜的桂花蜜浆。

许多年前妹妹远赴他乡,

很少有机会重返故里。

但每一年秋天,

树木依旧如期盛放,

散发出当年一模一样的甜香。

她说她依旧坚持熬制蜜浆,

哪怕再也不能一同分享。

每当风起、花瓣纷飞之时,

她便觉得妹妹还在身旁,

与她一同站在飘香的巷子里。

一阵微风卷起更多花瓣,

盘旋着落在石板路上。

阳光穿过枝叶缝隙,

在地面投下斑驳光影。

她捧起一把金黄的桂花,

放到我摊开的掌心。

回忆不必紧紧攥在手中。

它们随香气飘荡,

久久留存于静谧老巷。

我继续向巷子深处走去,

清甜桂香一路跟随着脚步。

有些情谊不会因距离断裂。

它们年年花开,

藏在秋日轻柔的气息之中。
