上帝对幼儿园的孩子是仁慈的
对上学的要差一些。
而成年人，他丝毫不怜悯他们。

他不再管他们，
有时，他们必须匍匐
在滚烫的沙子里
向救护站爬去，
他们身上一直在流血。

也许对真正的恋人
他会怜悯，同情，
并提供庇荫，
像一棵树，遮掩着公园里睡在长凳上的某个人。

也许连我们都应该把母亲留下的
最后几枚善良的硬币
递给他们，

为了使他们的幸福会保护我们
在现在和其它的日子里。

God Has Pity On Kindergarten Children

God has pity on kindergarten children,

He pities school children — less.
But adults he pities not at all.

He abandons them,
And sometimes they have to crawl on all fours
In the scorching sand
To reach the dressing station,
Streaming with blood.

But perhaps
He will have pity on those who love truly
And take care of them
And shade them
Like a tree over the sleeper on the public bench.

Perhaps even we will spend on them
Our last pennies of kindness
Inherited from mother,

So that their own happiness will protect us
Now and on other days.

Yehuda Amichai
