词根
林木
带根的词，像树
露出的部分不断向天空外延，枝繁叶茂
栖息着意指飞翔的鸟，不时在诗里鸣叫
隐藏的意涵越来越向下深入
直到听见有人指出——黑暗的根部
Roots
poem by Lin Mu, translated by Qing Wei
Words with roots, make up what is like a tree
The exposed parts keep stretching skyward, and in the flourishing leaves and branches
Perch the birds implying flying that sing poetic songs from time to time
The connotations go deeper and deeper
Until somebody is heard to indicate — the dark roots
