One must have a mind of winter
人必須去懷有冬日的心境

To regard the frost
and the boughs
才能去看霜
看那松樹上

Of the pine-trees
crusted with snow
掛滿雪冰的樹枝

And have been cold a long time
人必須長期飽受寒冷

To behold the junipers
shagged with ice
才能欣賞披著冰雪般發絲的杜松

The spruces rough
in the distant glitter
才能領悟遠處粗硬的云杉

Of the January sun;
and not to think
在一月陽光下的閃爍；
他才能不去想

Of any misery
in the sound of the wind
那蘊含于風的呼嘯聲

In the sound of a few leaves
和樹葉的飄零中的那份凄涼

Which is the sound of the land
那是大地的聲音

Full of the same wind
大地刮起同樣的風

That is blowing
in the same bare place
在同一個荒野上吹拂

For the listener,
who listens in the snow
那風為雪中的聆聽者所刮

And, nothing himself, beholds
他自身虛無，
看不見

Nothing that is not there
and the nothing that is
那些不存在的
卻看見存在的虛無
