请平安归来

作者：俞心樵

又将远行，请提醒自己

出门之前，请收拾好行李

请带好护照、身份证和银行卡

请带上开启秘密的钥匙

请带上书，不必带多

带上一两本，足够了

行万里路，行不通了

这是不可能的

读万卷书，读成个废物

这是完全可能的

无论到了哪里

如果碰到好人，必须面带笑容

还有好人么？有吧？应该有

如果碰到坏人，就直接杀了

可以这样么？当然！不可以

出门之前，请许如下几愿

愿所过之桥决不坍塌

愿所搭之船决不沉没

愿所坐高铁决不脱轨

愿所乘航班决不失联

亲爱的，亲爱的，请平安归来

Come Back Safe, My Dear!

               Author: Yu Xinqiao; Translator: Sam Gao

Remind yourself before you set out yet again:

Before you leave, please pack your luggage well,

Please bring your passport, ID card and bank cards,

Please take the key that guards the secret of your heart,

Please bring some books, not too many though.

One or two is enough.

A traverse of ten thousand leagues won’t do,

That’s way too impossible.

Reading ten thousand books will only turn you into an idiot,

That is perfectly likely and possible.

Wherever you go,

Do put up smiles on your face when you run into good folks.

Are there good folks yet on earth? Are there? I bet.

If you run into bad guys, just kill them direct

But can we kill them directly? Of course No!

Before you depart, may you pray so:

May all bridges you cross won’t collapse,

May all boats you take never leak or sink,

May the trains never derail,

May all flights always fly safe.

My dear, do return sound and safe!
