无心剑中译泰戈尔《飞鸟集》
无心剑按：翻译《飞鸟集》，灌注了我的热情。一向喜欢泰戈尔的作品，而翻译需要字斟句酌，因此，想借此机会，更深地体味他文字的风韵。在我眼里，翻译是与文字的一种亲密接触，心灵也为此轻轻感动。我清楚，自己的译文，也难免错漏，敬请读者批评指正。
《飞鸟集》是印度诗人泰戈尔创作的诗集，它包括325首清丽的无标题小诗，首次出版于1916年。这些诗的基本题材多为极其常见事物，不外乎小草、落叶、飞鸟、星辰、河流等等。
由于诗人忠实于自己的思想，具有敏锐洞察自然、社会的能力和一支善于表达心曲的妙笔，这些形似只言片语的小诗就蕴涵了丰富的思想、深奥的哲理，表现出一种清新明快、优美隽永的风格。 《飞鸟集》在世界各地被译为多种文字版本 ，对于中国的“小诗运动”的产生与发展具有推动作用。
《飞鸟集》中表现了深层的精神追求——爱与和谐的宇宙终极原则或神，描绘自然万物的灵（神）性相通，有机一体，展现人与自然、爱与神的亲密无间、交互融溶，歌赞生命的自由、平等、博爱-从而生成了丰富隽永的人生哲理。在这里神、自然、人与爱的界限己经模糊不清了，诗人追求人与神的合一、爱与神的关系、以及神与自然的统一，渴望与神“完全合一的形象显现”，也就是要达到有限生命与无限生命的统一，就是要达到人的最高的理想境界。为此，诗中揭示，人必须完善自己的人格，要在“思想中摒除虚伪”，要驱走心中“一切的丑恶”，并且只能在“爱”中，在“爱的服务”中与神结合。诗人在诗篇中表达了人生的奉献与人生意义的追求，使诗篇充满着生机。
