残酷的爱（中英对照） 残酷的爱The Cruel Love 作者：侍英卫 By Shi Ying Wei 翻译：付文中 寒冬，又一场暴风雪侵袭了整个世界。一只雄鹰，翱翔在茫茫雪原上，只为一个目标：食物。 这只强壮的鹰，用它那双敏锐的眼睛搜寻着，可是，映入眼帘的，只有一望无际的雪。 气温骤降，雄鹰原本厚实的羽毛现在显得如此单薄，它无助而又无望地长啸一声，降落在峭壁上。 In the severe winter, another snowstorm attacked the whole world. Soaring above the boundless snowfield, a male eagle was for only one aim: the food. This strong eagle hunted for the food with his keen eyes, but what jumped into his view was just the endless snow.

One baby eagle made a feeble cry, which the other one even couldn’t make. 在雌鹰的身旁，有一只死兔，是十天前大雪尚未封山时雄鹰的猎物，而现在，这只维持了鹰一家四口十天生命的猎物，已变成一副被掏空了血肉的骨架。短暂的一天，仿佛漫长的一生，还不见雄鹰回来，雌鹰明显感觉到一只小鹰蜷缩在自己微温的翅羽下慢慢变得冰凉。 Nearby the female eagle there was a dead rabbit, which became the prey of the male eagle before the mountain was covered with the snow. Now this prey, which sustained the family of four for ten days, had turned into a skeleton from which all the blood and flesh was taken out. At the end of that short day, which seemed like a long life, the female eagle still couldn’t see her husband come back, obviously feeling that one baby eagle, who scrunched up unde
