路遥 存信念于平凡世界

Lu Yao: Faithful to the Ordinary Word

节选自--《陕西：中华文明的肇始之地》（英文版）P132

The Mu Us Desert, located between Yulin city of Shaanxi province and Ordos city of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is a place marked by stretching dunes, scorching sun and yellow desert reaching to the horizon. As Lu walked aimlessly, he was shocked at the occasional sight of one or two hardy white poplars grimly twisting and stretching toward the sky.

In a sand dune ahead, sparse weeds grew. Lu lay beside a little spark of green in the desert, looking up at the lofty sky and feeling the breeze blowing over his head. His heart was completely tranquil as if he had become one with his surroundings. Humanity, society, country-these grand concepts seemed so light and trivial at that moment. The world seemed to be nothing but Mu Us: countless grains of sand bearing witness to an endless amount of time.

The people of northern Shaanxi had gone through so much struggle and hardship. The desire and faith of the people living there and their unyielding struggles against the cruelty of fate were always present. Lu Yao felt a sense of obligation to record their stories.

译文：

毛乌素沙漠在陕西省榆林市与内蒙古自治区鄂尔多斯市之间，那里沙丘连绵，烈日灼灼，枯黄的沙漠一望无际。路遥在沙漠中漫无目的地走着，偶尔能看到一两株顽强的白杨，扭曲着向天空伸展，沧桑而凄凉，有一种无法言说的震撼。

翻过一个沙丘，前方的沙漠生长着一些稀疏的杂草，路遥躺在沙漠中的这一点点绿色旁，仰望着高远的苍穹，感受着吹过头顶的微风。他感觉自己的心完全宁静了下来，自己仿佛与沙漠融为一体，人类、社会、国家，这些宏大的命题此刻显得苍白而渺小，世界仿佛只剩毛乌素，一颗颗沙粒见证着数不尽的时间。

陕北这片土地承载了太多的挣扎与苦难，生活在这里的人们对生的渴望与信念，在命运中的不屈与挣扎让路遥觉得自己有责任将这些故事记录下来。
