我登上了長城，讓雙腳
踩踏在真真實實的階梯上
再怎麼用力踩踏都踏踏實實
不再有以往只看圖片
那種夢般疑真似幻的感覺

我登上了長城，讓視線
逡巡在叢山萬壑的風景上
再怎麼張目逡巡都蒼茫曠遠
不再有以往只看畫面
那種豆般渺小的視野

我登上了長城，讓心靈
搜尋在百折千迴的傳說裡
再怎麼盡心搜尋都窵窵遠遠
難以親眼目睹它們
那栩栩如生的感人情節

我登上了長城，讓身子
前移在兩牆之間的階梯上
再怎麼繼續前移都彷彿無止無盡
難以窮盡它們
那萬里長遠跋涉……

On the Great Wall　 Hsu chiCheng

I’m on the great wall now
My feet are stepping on the real ladders
I feel rather relieved even though stepping furiously
And the dreamlike sense of watching it in pictures
Has disappeared

I’m now on the Great Wall
I’m sweeping my eyes over the boundless mountains
The mountains are so large and high
Not so tiny as
What I have seen in pictures

I’m now on the Great Wall
My soul is seeking in lots and lots of legendary stories
These stories are very moving
But their plots aren’t so lifelike
As what I have seen with my own eyes

I’m now on the Great Wall
L let my body moving ahead closely between the walls
As my body is moving ahead
I come to know its long trek from
The ancient time is endless @
