点评:We had such a good time that I wrote a poem about our experience.
Martha Brae
(Trelawny Parish, Jamaica)
Drifting down the Martha Brae,
My birthday raft, adorned today
With leaves and flowers looking great
Humroy is captain, I'm first mate.
Leaping off the raft, we fly
My water-loving child and I.
Humroy poles the raft nearby,
Watching with a captain’s eye
Humroy sings a patois song
We listen as we swim along
John Crows perch in trumpet trees
Jamaica sun and river breeze
Cool, clear waters, we float and sway
As stress and worry drift away
Bamboo groves and singing birds
Shouting life, no need for words.
A huge thanks to our captain Humroy who was so kind, friendly and knowledable about the trees, plants, birds, and anything else connected to the river. It was one of the most peaceful experiences I have ever had!
翻译:我们玩得开心极了,以至于我为这段经历写了一首诗。
玛莎·布雷
(牙买加,特雷劳尼教区)
顺着玛莎·布雷河漂流而下,
这是我生日那天乘坐的木筏,今天它被
树叶与鲜花装点得格外美丽。
休姆罗伊是船长,我则是大副。
我和那个喜欢水的孩子从木筏上跃下,
尽情嬉戏。休姆罗伊则在近处用篙子撑着木筏,
以船长的目光注视着我们。
休姆罗伊唱起牙买加方言歌谣,
我们边游泳边聆听。
乌鸦栖息在喇叭花树上,
牙买加的阳光与河风令人心旷神怡。
凉爽宜人。清澈的河水中,我们随波漂浮、轻轻摇曳;
烦恼与焦虑也随之渐渐消散。
竹林葱郁,鸟鸣悦耳;
生命之声如此响亮,无需言语来表达。
非常感谢我们的船长Humroy——他亲切友善,对河边的树木、植物、鸟类以及一切与河流相关的事物都了如指掌。这真是我经历过的最宁静、最惬意的体验啊!
