红颜弹指老，刹那芳华 Her best moment being brief, beauty ages in a short while
 作者：程灵素 Author: Cheng lingsu 有的时候，或许流浪已经成为一种习惯。 Sometimes, perhaps vagrancy has become a habit. 柳絮桃花，自在飞莺，恰恰马蹄，浅草闲人，去到江南赶上春； 关外飞雪，天高云远，银树寒霜，红炉沽酒，漠北塞外有豪情。 --在不同的地方，感受生活在别处的况味。 Catins and peachblossoms; agreeably flying orioles; chuck-chuck clops; shallow grass and leisured ones; a trip to catch up with the spring of Jiang Nan. Snowflakes in Guan Wai①; high sky and distant clouds; argent trees and cold frost; drinking wine by red furnace; a picture of lofty sentiments of Sai Wai in Mo Bei. - In different places, one feels the taste of living elsewhere. 人们总是说，江湖儿女，处处是家。但是在我，走遍天涯，寻寻觅觅，只是希望， 能够得到一点他的讯息。 It is always said that, the child of rivers and lakes finds his home everywhere. But for me, wandering hither and thither, searching high and low, is just because of hoping I can get some news of Him.
心头其实早已千遍万遍想过：便是寻到他，却又如何？还不是重添相思，徒增烦恼？他 所以悄然远引，也还不是为了我好？但明知那是镜花水月一场空，我却又不能不想，不 能不找。 In fact I've already thought for tens of thousands of times in mind: So what even if I finally found Him? Wouldn't it add to my lovesickness and sorrows?Isn't it good for me that He went far away quietly?Although I know well that is just like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, yet I can't help missing and seeking. 从来都知道，只要我还爱着像他那样的人，我就还仰望着高贵而完美的灵魂；只要 我还寻找着他的踪迹，我就还听从着自己心的声音。 It always goes without saying to me, that as long as I still love someone like Him, I will still look up to soul of dignity and perfection; as long as I still search for His trail, I will still listen to the voice of my heart. 于是，注定了要浪游四方。 Therefore, a vagrant travel to all corners under the sky is predestined.
喜乐无忧，如花的韶华，总是有一些故事的： 当街金钗沽酒，季布无二诺，侯嬴重一言，杀狗屠鹰，燕赵遗风； 陆家庄比武招亲，鹅黄衣衫，浅浅容颜淡淡妆，一席言谈，一曲《有所思》，教一 对有情人终成眷属。 During my flowerlike glorious youth, there were surely some stroies besi des joy and happiness: Bought wine with a gold hairpin right in the street, like Jibu who had made no second promise, like Houying who never went back on his word, killed dogs and slaughtered hawks, observing the relique of Yan and Zhao. In the martial arts contest for marriage② in Lu Manor, thin looks and simple make-up in light-yellow clothes; a conversation, a melody of "Have something in mind" let two lovers step onto the wedding carpet. 还有呢…… 我曾经连续三个月千里追杀一个土匪，仅仅是因为他无故砍下另一个人的手臂； 我也曾经一次将我身上无价的珠宝当掉，仅仅为了凑两千两银子给一个痴情的男子 作聘礼。 因为我知道，如果他遇到这些人这些事，也会和我一样。 但是所有的这些，却令得传言中的我，化做武林中的一个神话。 都说这是昆仑三圣一生都在寻找的姑娘；武当的开山祖师，听说我出家的消息，终 于也做了道士。某些时候，那句话并没有谬误：女人因为爱她的是什么样的男人而矜贵 。所以到了很多很多年后，仍然有人遥想我当年的风采，念念难忘。只是红颜如花 ，寻不到苦苦寻觅的人，便直教寂寞开放也罢。 More to come... I ever chased continuously to kill a bandit running thousands of li for three months, merely because he cut down another's arm for no sound reason; I also ever pawned all the jewels on me in a single deal, merely in order to pool two thousand taels of silver to give a spoony man as betrothal gifts. For I know that, if He had fallen across these people and these events, He would have acted as I did. But all these made me-in the rumors, become a myth in the martial arts circles. All said that this was the girl Three Kunlun Sages had been seeking all through their lifetime; on hearing the news that I had entered into religion , the initiator of Wudang③ turned Taoist at length. Sometimes, that sentence is no solecism: woman becomes costful for what kind of man that loves her. Therefore till many, many years later, there were still some who reminisced my former charisma, fairly indelible in their mind. However, beauty is like flower. Since I cannot find the one I have been seeking for so hard, thus let loneliness bloom instead.
40岁那年，在牛家村村头遇到一个说书人。 他说起一个很老的故事：说有两条鱼，生活在大海里，某日，被海水冲到一个浅浅 的水沟，只能相互把自己嘴里的泡沫喂到对方嘴里生存，这就是成语"相濡以沫"的由来 。 但是庄子说，这样的生活并不是最正常最真实也最无奈的，真实的情况是，海水终 于要漫上来，两条鱼也终于要回到属于它们自己的天地，最后，他们，要相忘于江湖。
At the age of 40, I encountered a story-teller at the entrance of Niu Village. He told of a very old story: There once were two fish living in the sea. One day, they were swept into a fleet slot by the seawater, and could only survive by feeding bubbles in their mouth into each other's mouth. This is the origin of the idiom "Moisten each other with spit" ④. But Zhuangzi said, that such life is yet not the most natural, most actual and, most hopeless. The real situation is that the seawater finally brims over, and the two fish are to come back to the world they belong to finally. And, in the end, they forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
那一刻我终于真正明白，与其天涯思君，恋恋不能相舍，莫若相忘于江湖。 江湖之远之大，何处是我归依的故乡？于是，我到了峨眉，终于在那里住下，羁旅 游子，毕竟会有叶落归根那一日。古佛清灯的岁月，从那一刻开始。 那一年，在终南山上捡到一个小婴儿，吹弹得破皮肤，娇弱的笑容。我给她取名， 叫做风陵。我要把这半世武功，都化做记忆，留给风陵，留给她的后人，留给峨眉派女 子。 At that moment I finally truly realized, rather than to miss Him between sky and horizon, rather than to be too reluctant to give up, it's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes being so distant and broad, where is the hometown for me to settle down? Therefore, I went to Mount Emei, finally established myself there. A travelling soul is bound to find his last place to reside one day, after all. From that very moment on, years with ancient joss and still lamp began. In that year, I picked up a little baby on Mount Zhongnan, whose skin was blown to break, with feeble smile. I named her as Fengling. I want to convert my half-lifelong martial skills into memory, and hand it down to Fengling, her later generations and the female disciples of Emei Faction.

60岁的时候，面对梳妆台，看着镜中苍老的容颜，16岁时的记忆仍然鲜明如昨：黑 色沼泽，佻脱的九尾灵狐；十月廿四，城中灿烂的烟花绽放。摆弄手心三枚仍然鲜亮的 金针，回想弹指而去的韶华。似这般如花美眷，逝水流年，哪搭儿闲寻遍。红了的樱桃 ，绿了的芭蕉，那些抛掷的流光，那些匆匆的脚步，那些曾经的等待。 一切都已经释然了吧，少女时代，那个少林寺的大师曾经吟诵的经文："由爱故生忧 ，由爱故生怖；若离于爱者，无忧亦无怖。"，那些贪嗔爱痴，拈花微笑，终于了然于心 。 At the age of 60, when facing the dressing table, watching the aged looks in the mirror, the memories of 16 was as clear as yesterday: Black marsh and nimble nine-tailed holy fox⑤; On October the 24th(lunar calendar), splendid fireworks were displayed in the city. Fiddling with the three gold pins that were still shining in hand, I recalled my youth gone in a flash. Like such flowerlike beauty, with water elapsed and years gone by, in which circle of lifetime could we afford to seek all over? Cherries grew red and Basjooes⑥ grew green, together with, those slung days, those hasty steps and those bygone waitings. Now everything seems to have their reasonable explainations, of which, during my girlish period, recited that hierarch from Shaolin Monastery in his lection:" Love makes sorrow; love makes fear. If one is away form love, no sorrow and no fear will one endure." Those passionate desire, anger and infatuation, picking flowers and smiling, are now finally understood by my heart. 只是有些事，它在心里最底里那个角落，没有办法去怀。 每当听到空中有鸟儿的鸣叫，我都忍不住要仰头看，然而飞得再高的鸟儿也不及那 一只老迈的大鸟，再响亮的叫声，也不够那一声嘶哑的鸣叫。 远游于湖海之间，太多的名侠豪士沾沾地显示剑法，然而在我心中，再眩目的剑也 比不上那把玄铁重剑，再精妙的招式，终究不过是花架子。 But there are things, hiding at the bottom corner of my heart, can never be got rid of. Each time when I hear birds singing in the sky, I can't help looking upwards. But however high the bird flies, it's no peer to that senile large bird; however loud it tweets, it's no better than that single hoarse cry. Travelling between lakes and seas, many a famous swordsman and gallant man denmonstrates his sword skills arrogantly, whereas, in my heart, however glaring the sword might be, it's no match to that heavy Xuantie Sword; however skilful the movements are, they're merely unpractical postures.
到了很老的时候，偶尔我还会想，当时，便我那样的懵懂不知，然而他不是不懂得的吧 ？ 天真无邪的少女，那样的信任和爱重？--他其实全都知道，只是既然没有办法回应 ，那么，便不说也罢。不见也罢，免得徒增烦恼。小孩儿家，能有什么心事，哄上一哄 ，给得一些热闹物事，小儿女情怀，便扔到一边去了。 只是他没有想到，一生是可以很短的，青春在怀恋中，也就过去了。 When I become very, very old, I will still think once in a while: At that time, even if I was that ignorant and dull, but could it be the case that He didn't understand either? That kind of credence and passion from a naive and innocent girl?-In fact he knew too well. But since he could never respond, then, he said nothing. Nor meeting each other, lest simply to add to the sorrows. Only a child, ho w could she have any worry? Given something amusing and certain consolation, she would throw over the childish emotions aside. But He never imagined that a lifetime could be awfully short. Youth was gone unawares in nostalgia.
没有人知道，我的青春，早在16岁那年就已结束--埋在了清风吹叶的华山之巅。 No one knows, my youth had ended up early by the age of 16-and was buried on the summit of Hua Shan, where breeze beats leaves.
