(此词中文写于汶川地震发生的5月12日晚上12时28分,英文补于6月25日上午11时)
午后二时,噩耗传,震发汶川。
急上网,遍搜网络,有字二三。
守桌旁,心怀忐忒,坐卧难安。
三十春秋,未曾有,大难又出奥运年!
问苍天,众生有何罪?受此难!
夜过半,犹未眠;
人作数,时时添。
恨不能,身临蜀地相挽。
天灾无情人有情,
华夏儿女心相连。
但有信,尽我微薄力,共患难!
English Version
After 2 P.M. in the afternoon,
Came the word that Wenchuan was hit by a terribly heavy earthquake.
I Hurried to searh the internet,
only to find a fews words on that.
Sitting at the computer, I felt unusually fidgety.
We've never experienced such a horror for thirty years.
Why it fell upon us so suddenly just at the advent of Olympics?
I beseeched God to explain,
What wrong has these common people done,
so that they have to face such a disaster?
It's late at night,
but I kept watching the screen.
The dead were counted,
and the number kept growing large.
I only regret that I am so far away from the victims
that I can't give them any help.
The natural disaster is ruthless,
but the descendents of Huaxia have a great affection for their country people.
Once the exact information is given out,
I will try my best to do what I can,
to help ease the life of the compatriots affected by this earthquake.
