The Thorn Birds(荆棘鸟)
——Colleen McCullough
科琳·麦卡洛
The bird with the thorn in its breast,it follows an immutable law;it is driven by it knows not what to impale itself,and die singing.
鸟儿胸前带着棘刺，它遵循着一个不可改变的法则，他被不知其名的东西刺穿身体，被驱赶着，歌唱者死去。
At the very instant the thorn enters thereis no awareness in it of the dying to come;it simply sings and sings until thereis not he life left to utter another note.
在那荆棘刺进的一瞬，它没有意识到死之将临。它只是唱着，唱着，知道生命耗尽，再也唱不出一个音符。
But we,when we put the thorns inour breasts,we know.We understand.And still we do it.Still we do it.
但是，当我们把棘刺扎进胸膛时，我们是知道的。我们是明明白白的。然而，我们却依然要这样做。我们依然把棘刺扎进胸膛。
