作者:Maxim Gorky 马克西姆·高尔基
选自马克西姆·高尔基《The Song of the Hawk》《鹰之歌》——

英文原文
The deep mountain gorge was wrapped in thick shadow.
A small snake coiled itself quietly on the damp cold rock,
gazing lazily at the boundless sea and the vast blue sky.
Suddenly, a strong eagle dropped down from the lofty sky.
Its wings were broken and covered with fresh blood.
It rolled heavily on the rough stone,
lying powerless on the ground,
yet its sharp eyes still burned with unyielding pride.
The curious snake crawled slowly toward the injured eagle,
and whispered doubtfully in a soft voice.
“So you have once soared high in the distant sky?
What real happiness can empty high altitude bring?
There is only fierce wind and endless void up there.
Why do you struggle bravely and risk your precious life?”
The wounded eagle raised its heavy head with great effort.
Though its breath was weak and difficult,
its tone remained firm and fearless.
“I have tasted the supreme joy of free flight.
I have overlooked the magnificent rivers and mountains under my wings.
I have felt the wild wind pounding fiercely against my chest.
I have fought bravely in the bright and vast sky.
To live a worthy life is to struggle bravely and dare to pursue dreams.
Even if I fall and fail in the end,
I have already possessed the glorious experience of soaring freely.”
The dull snake stared blankly at the eagle,
completely unable to understand its noble pursuit.
In its narrow mind,
stable survival on the warm rock was the whole meaning of life.
It was accustomed to crawling cautiously in the dark,
avoiding all risks and living in trivial peace.
The eagle shook its broken wings feebly.
It gathered its last bit of remaining strength,
lifted its body slightly from the hard stone,
and rushed forward toward the steep cliff without hesitation.
It fell rapidly and crashed heavily on the rocks below,
but its heroic cry for freedom echoed endlessly in the quiet gorge.
The snake witnessed the whole scene in silence,
and finally awakened to two completely different lifestyles in the world.
One is crawling in darkness for mere trivial survival,
while the other is fighting bravely for noble dreams,
even at the cost of precious life.
译文
幽深的山谷笼罩在浓重的暗影之中。
一条小蛇静静盘卧在阴冷潮湿的岩石之上,
慵懒地凝望着无垠的大海与辽阔的蓝天。
忽然,一只矫健的雄鹰从高空坠落而下。
它的翅膀折断,浑身浸染着新鲜的血迹。
它在粗糙的岩石上沉重翻滚,
无力地瘫卧在地面,
锐利的眼眸中,却依旧燃烧着不屈的傲骨。
好奇的小蛇缓缓爬向受伤的雄鹰,
轻声低语,满是疑惑。
“原来你也曾在高远的天际翱翔?
空旷的高空究竟能带来什么真正的快乐?
那里只有凛冽的狂风与无尽的虚无。
你为何要奋力抗争,不惜赌上自己宝贵的生命?”
重伤的雄鹰竭力抬起沉重的头颅。
纵使呼吸微弱、气息艰难,
它的语调依旧坚定无畏、铿锵有力。
“我曾体会过自由翱翔的极致快乐。
我曾俯瞰羽翼之下壮阔的山河大地。
我曾感受狂风猛烈撞击胸膛的磅礴力量。
我曾在明朗辽阔的天际勇敢搏击。
活得有价值的人生,
就是勇于拼搏、敢于追梦的一生。
就算最终坠落、落败收场,
我也拥有过凌空翱翔的无上荣光。”
愚钝的小蛇茫然地注视着雄鹰,
完全无法理解它崇高的追求。
在它狭隘的认知里,
安稳蛰伏在温暖的岩石之上,苟活度日,
便是生命的全部意义。
它早已习惯在黑暗中谨慎匍匐,
规避一切风险,安于琐碎平淡的安稳。
雄鹰无力地抖动残破的双翼。
它汇聚起体内最后一丝余力,
从坚硬的岩石上微微起身,
毫不犹豫地向着陡峭的悬崖奋力俯冲。
它急速坠落,重重撞击在下方的岩石之上,
但它追逐自由的英雄呐喊,
在寂静的山谷中久久回荡、生生不息。
小蛇静静目睹了全过程,
最终幡然醒悟:世间存在两种截然不同的人生。
一种是蛰伏黑暗、苟且偷生,只求安稳存活;
另一种是奔赴理想、勇敢抗争,
纵使付出生命的代价,也要追寻崇高的信仰。

💡主旨品读
《鹰之歌》是高尔基极具力量与哲思的经典散文诗。
全文以蛇与鹰的鲜明对比展开叙事,借两种生灵的生存姿态,
诠释了两种完全对立的人生境界与生命价值观。
蛇终生蛰伏地面、安于阴暗温暖的方寸之地,
畏惧风险、贪图安稳,将苟且存活当作人生全部意义,
代表着世间目光狭隘、安于现状、甘于平庸的普通人。
雄鹰驰骋高空、搏击长风,即便身受重伤、濒临死亡,
依旧不曾磨灭对自由的向往、对拼搏的坚守。
它深知,生命的价值从来不在于长久安稳的存活,
而在于勇敢奔赴高远、为理想抗争、活出滚烫的人生。
最终雄鹰以决绝的俯冲,完成生命最后的悲壮绽放。
文章深刻揭示哲理:真正的生命,贵在格局与坚守。
平庸的安稳只会消磨意志,无畏的奋斗方能成就永恒。
肉体的生命终会凋零,但勇敢、崇高、不屈的精神永远不朽。
全文完美适配拒绝平庸、坚守理想、奋斗不息、
逆境风骨、格局决定人生、精神永存等作文主题,
语言激昂铿锵、对比鲜明、哲理深刻,
是极佳的高分作文摘抄与升华素材。
