《VO 導讀》：印度詩哲泰戈爾出生於加爾各答顯貴家族，天資聰穎，8 歲起開始寫詩，12 歲創作劇本，青少年時代即不斷發表詩作，後赴英倫深造，曾以英譯《吉檀迦利》榮獲諾貝爾文學獎。1916 年發表的《漂鳥集》，以短詩談東方哲思對生命的禮讚，一首首輕巧如漂鳥。
- 夏天的漂鳥，來到我窗前歌唱，又飛走了。而秋天的黃葉，無歌歡唱，輕嘆一聲，飄落在地。
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs,
f lutter and fall there with a sigh.
- 無論你有工作，還是賦閒也好。當你一說：「讓我們做點事吧！」麻煩便開始出現了。
Either you have work or you have not.
When you have to say, “ Let us do something, ”
then begins mischief.
- 當人類只是動物時，比動物還不如。
Man is worse than an animal
when he is an animal.
- 我的心呀，從世界的運轉中去尋找你的美吧，一如船擁有風與水的助力那般
Find your beauty, my heart,
from the world’s movement,
like the boat that has the grace of the wind and the water.
- 眼睛不以視力為傲，卻以所戴的眼鏡自豪。
The eyes are not proud of their sight
but of their eyeglasses.
