The Monster's Enemy
魔鬼的天敌
作者:Nina Zhan / 娇娇 / 12岁
We have fallen in the clutches,
The clutches full of virus;
As he sits high from above,
Watching prey to fall;
Into the trap he has made,
我们掉入了陷阱
陷阱里弥漫着病毒
它高高地坐在上方
看着猎物掉入它的陷阱
Again and again he waves his wand;
To cast viruses on unfortunate souls,
Watching more death and sadness spread;
它一次又一次地挥动魔棒
将病毒抛向不幸的灵魂,
看着更多的死亡和悲伤蔓延
As our story of woe was written,
We were the prey of this despair;
当我们的伤感故事
被记录下来的时候
我们是魔爪下绝望的牺牲品
We didn't flinch once in this mortal battle,
In this raging virus, we were fearless;
Our brave words did not falter or silence,
“There will be a peaceful day beyond this night;”
在这殊死的战斗中,我们没有退缩
在这肆虐的病毒里,我们无所畏惧
我们勇敢的话语,没有动摇也从未沉默
“今夜之后,会有一个平静的日子。”
And then he found,
That we had built a fortress with our souls;
That our unity lit a flame of peace,
于是它发现
我们用灵魂筑起一座堡垒
我们用团结燃起一道烈焰
And then he found;
He belittles the meaning of life,
Our perseverance is his greatest enemy
于是它发现
它浅薄了生命的意义
我们的毅力是它最大的天敌
在与冠状病毒抗争期间,即便我们身处世界不同地区,我仍然希望我们作为一个整体,能够点燃和平与希望之光。
我相信,心怀信念之光,我们才可以团结一致,因为这是战胜人类所有危险的关键。
During the Covid 19 pandemic we have been going through, I still hope that we together as one, can ignite a light of peace and of hope, and even though we are in different sections of the world.
I think we can be united as one with this light of faith, because that is the key to combating all dangers of mankind.
