The Other Side of Fear恐惧的另一边

作者：陈国雄

Why is it

Things we want the most

Are on the other side of fear

为什么

我们最想要的

在恐惧的另一边？

A ship is safe

In calm harbor

When it never ventures out

一艘并不冒险

躺在平静港口的船

很安全。

When it does

A ship cannot begin sailing

With yesterday's wind

一艘船都做不到。

昨夜的风启航

Must we leave yesterday behind

Before setting out to sea

Leaving all things familiar

出海前

我们要把昨天扔到脑后。

扔掉所有熟悉的东西吗？

Are we ready to tack or come about

When a storm is visible

Or when sailing off course

当看到暴风雨或航行偏离航线时。

我们准备好面对困难了吗？

How many of us dare to sail

The other side of fear

我们中有多少人敢航行？

恐惧的另一边？
