Fan Jinghua: A Flower Secluded

   A Secluded Flower
How it flashes when I poke the leaves open!
This tiny flower, pinkish and heart-shaped,
Determined enough to show its nakeness before my eyes.
So delicate that I almost will it not to survive the daylight
In the summer's end.
Only in the forest, out of the path, can it be seen, alone.

   隐的花
看它多么耀眼,在我拨开的叶子后。
这朵小花,嫩粉色的心形,
这么娇弱,却坚定地将赤裸展现在我眼前,毫无羞耻。
我几乎宁愿它无法承受日光,
只有在森林,下了小径,才能被我看到,
单独开放,而夏天行将结束。
