避bì雷léi针zhēn
The Lighting Rod
作者：斧子 Axe我wǒ在zài期qī待dài着zhe什shén么me？难nán道dào雷léi电diàn真zhēn的de会huì来lái？我wǒ焦jiāo灼zhuó地de等děng待dài起qǐ风fēng，等děng待dài乌wū云yún滚gǔn滚gǔn，等děng待dài那nà最zuì危wēi险xiǎn而ér又yòu最zuì辉huī煌huáng的de一yí瞬shùn。What am I looking forward to? Will the thunder and lightning come? I am anxiously waiting for the wind, for the black clouds, for the most dangerous and glorious moment.
真zhēn想xiǎng快kuài点diǎn儿er度dù过guò这zhè等děng待dài再zài等děng待dài的de岁suì月yuè。I can only hope the years of waiting will pass quickly.让ràng我wǒ成chéng为wéi水shuǐ吧ba，可kě以yǐ不bù停tíng地de变biàn换huàn自zì己jǐ，成chéng为wéi冰bīng，或huò者zhě蒸zhēng汽qì，或huò者zhě云yún朵duǒ，或huò者zhě江jiāng、湖hú、海hǎi......为wèi什shén么me我wǒ要yào定dìng型xíng成chéng这zhè可kě怜lián的de避bì雷léi针zhēn？为wèi什shén么me我wǒ的de使shǐ命mìng里lǐ尽jìn是shì日rì复fù一yí日rì的de等děng待dài？I want to be water, which can transform itself all the time and become ice, or steam, or clouds, or rivers, lakes,seas...Why should I be the lighting rod? Why is my destiny all about waiting?
让ràng我wǒ成chéng为wéi火huǒ吧ba，要yào就jiù轰hōng轰hōng烈liè烈liè大dà烧shāo一yī场chǎng，烧shāo透tòu，烧shāo净jìng，然rán后hòu就jiù成chéng灰huī，冷lěng冷lěng的de没méi有yǒu感gǎn觉jué。漫màn长cháng的de等děng待dài，使shǐ人rén麻má木mù，使shǐ人rén淡dàn漠mò，使shǐ人rén活huó着zhe就jiù像xiàng已yǐ经jīng死sǐ去qù一yí样yàng。那nà不bù如rú就jiù选xuǎn择zé死sǐ，争zhēng取qǔ早zǎo日rì复fù生shēng，争zhēng取qǔ涅niè槃pán。I want to be fire. I'll burn through, burn clean, and eventually become ash with no feeling at all. The long wait makes people numb, and indifferent. It makes people live as if they were dead. In that case, death is the best choice for rebirth and nirvana.
为wèi什shén么me我wǒ是shì避bì雷léi针zhēn的de后hòu代dài？Why am I the offspring of the lighting rod?难nán道dào我wǒ还hái要yào一yī动dòng不bu动dòng站zhàn在zài这zhè里lǐ，看kàn着zhe自zì己jǐ生shēng锈xiù，看kàn着zhe自zì己jǐ慢màn慢màn死sǐ亡wáng？难nán道dào我wǒ真zhēn的de已yǐ别bié无wú选xuǎn择zé？Will I stand here and watch myself rust and die? Do I have any choice?
