style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">为了别人的脚</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">两手绷着青筋</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">一生</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">抚摸过多少双鞋底</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">一针一用力</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">一锥一喘气</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">要把磨过了多少碎石的</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span

feet</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">The blue veins bulge from his hands</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">In his life</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">How many pairs of soles has he held</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">With every stitch, a forceful push</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">With every pant, a cone's thrust</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">To mend shoes worn by countless gravels</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Or trampled through endless muds</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">像医生</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">治好了损伤了皮骨的人们</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">却改变不了人们劳碌的命运</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">他——</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">老鞋匠</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">也不能使道路更平坦</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">于是桌底下</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">像停尸房狼藉着无法补救的破皮</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Just like the doctor</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Who cures people with damaged skin and bones</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">But cannot change their fates of toil</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">He--</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">The old cobbler</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Cannot make roads any flatter</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">So under his table</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Like a morgue, is shattered with irreparable broken leather</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">他老了</span></p><p class="ql-block"

style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">失去了光彩</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">他也是一双快要解体的旧鞋</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">被拖曳在</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">漫长而破烂的</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">生活道路上</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">这老鞋匠！</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">He has grown old</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">With his youth gone</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Just like the tattered leather</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">With its luster faded</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">He is also like a pair of worn-out shoes</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">Dragged along the long and ragged path of life</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20px;">This old cobbler</span></p>
