《 上帝的手掌》

《 The Palm Of God 》

──解读非洲荒原的仙人掌

──Explaining the palm in the African wilderness

上帝发怒的时候

When God is angering

手臂上金针般竖起的汗毛

His fine arm hairs are standing up just like golden needdles

就应该是这个样子

That is what we look at

无语的上帝沉默着

To say nothing, God is silent

充满张力的利刺

The sharp piercers with full tensile force

昭示一种尊严

Proclaiming a kind of dignity

因为人类无休止的掠夺

Due to human endless predations

导致了肥美非洲的日渐苍凉

Causing luxuriant Africa to be desolate day by day

上苍意识到了泥捏的人类

Heaven felt that the clay pinched mankind

是那样的贪得无厌

Being so inordinately greedy

因而才在这片

Then in this

渐渐荒芜下去的土地上

Gradually being desolate land

举起了奋怒的拳头

Raising his angry fist

上帝发怒时

When God is angrying

其实就是这个样子

That is what you see so

充满张力的拳头林立荒漠

Fists with full tensile force are raising everywhere in the desert

自以为是的你我

Opinionated you and me

难道还没有觉醒 

Having not awakenned yet
