契机
The Turning Point
其实什么叫
Actually what is
先知先觉
Prescience and prophet
默坐了多少岁数
Silently sitting for how many years
越研究越不成学究
Meticulous study does not make a gerund-grinder
正当面壁一片漆黑
When it is stark darkness
世间混沌还是混沌时
And there is chaos beyond chaos
骤然响起似远似近一声
There comes a cry of the baby which seems at once
婴啼
Far and near
混沌初开
The chaos is clearing off
初生初啼初知初觉
Initial birth and initial cry and initial knowledge and initial awareness
万物中
Among all things on the earth
另一精灵蠕蠕活动
Another spirit is moving and wriggling
来到这个世界
Which comes into the world
很科学
Quite scientifically
点燃
To enkindle
无限生机
Boundless vital force
呵 这声富有潜藏生命力
O the initial cry full of latent
初啼
Vital force
竟比自己枯坐尽流光
Is more prescient and prophetic
还先知先觉
Than sitting to while away the years
茫然中
Absently and blankly
我 方知方觉
I come to know and realize
由来如此
It is originally so
