No Way Out

《无路可逃》

by: Xiangyang(向阳)

tr: Rhapsodia（晚枫）

When the wind comes, the wings lose their direction

风来的时候，翅膀丢失了方向

The journey without a track is an extensive space

没有轨迹的行程是宽广的空间

This real intervention makes those abstract words

这真实的介入，让那些抽象的词

In one’s eyes, more lively than a blade

在一个人的眼里，比刀锋还要生动

That more lively than a blade is still the spider. It never gets tired

比刀锋生动的还有蜘蛛。蜘蛛不知疲倦

Weaving its whole life into a net like a fisherman sitting in silence

将一生织进一张网，就像渔人坐于静寂

Believing unyieldingly a fish will come to the hook. No one plays the part of the bait

坚守一条鱼的上钩。没有谁扮演钓钩上的诱饵

To keep a life appointment. A fish is only

奔赴一个生命的约定，鱼只是

Angling for itself with its own hankering as bait

用自己的渴求垂钓自己

On the road where the wind must go pass, the spider

在风必经的路口，蜘蛛

A sage no one has ever cracked

这无人破解的智者

Lurks in its reign making new frontiers and territories

蛰伏自己的领地开疆拓土

Setting up the catching trap, while knitting the finale of love

设下捕获的陷阱，也编织爱情的结局

Such is the final destination, be it sadly beautiful, solemn

这就是最终的归宿了，无论是凄美、悲壮

Or satisfactory. A fish is born to bite the bait, a moth dance for a fire

还是完满。鱼为咬钩而生，飞蛾为火而蹈

Do I have any reason for not giving up all the struggles

而我有什么理由不放弃挣扎

And bog down into your cobweb, since I’m doomed to have no way out?

塌陷你的蛛网，我注定无路可逃
