Poem: We’ve All Been Exposed

By Sarah Bourns

詩一首：我們都被病毒暴露了

作者：Sarah Bourns

We’ve all been exposed.

Not necessarily to the virus

(maybe…who even knows).

We’ve all been exposed BY the virus.

病毒面前所有人暴露无遗

你我也许未曾接触到它

（或许吧……谁知道呢？）

却被它打得无所遁形

Corona is exposing us.

Exposing our weak sides.

Exposing our dark sides.

Exposing what normally lays far beneath the surface of our souls,

hidden by the invisible masks we wear.

Now exposed by the paper masks we can’t hide far enough behind.

病毒在宣告我们的无力（脆弱）

我们的阴暗

我们平日无形的面具下灵魂深处的真相

口罩遮得住脸庞我们却无处隐藏

Corona is exposing our addiction to comfort.

Our obsession with control.

Our compulsion to hoard.

Our protection of self.

病毒暴露了我们对安舒的上瘾

对掌控欲的痴迷

对囤积的冲动

对自我的保护

Corona is peeling back our layers.

Tearing down our walls.

Revealing our illusions.

Leveling our best-laid plans.

病毒在剥离我们的伪装

拆毁我们的围墙

揭露我们的幻象

打乱计划的完美

Corona is exposing the gods we worship:

Our health 

Our hurry

Our sense of security.

Our favorite lies 

Our secret lusts

Our misplaced trust.

病毒暴露了我们心里的众神在何方

我们要健康

我们在奔忙

我们建立安全网

我们热切的虚谎

我们隐秘的欲望

我们的信心放错了地方

Corona is calling everything into question:
What is the church without a building?

What is my worth without an income?

How do we plan without certainty?

How do we love despite risk?

病毒迫使我们思忖

没了建筑，教会是什么

没了收入，你我价值何在

没了把握，如何计划

风险环绕，如何爱人

Corona is exposing me.
My mindless numbing

My endless scrolling

My careless words

My fragile nerves.

病毒在宣告

我麻木莽撞

我反复无常

我信口雌黄

我脆弱易伤

We’ve all been exposed.
Our junk laid bare.

Our fears made known.

The band-aid torn.

The masquerade done.

我们大白于天下了！

垃圾箱见了底

恐惧暴露无遗

撕下无用的邦迪

褪下舞会的假面

So what now?

What’s left?

Clean hands

Clear eyes

Tender hearts.

我们该何去何从

被暴露后我们还剩下什么

干净的双手

明亮的眼睛

温柔的心肠

What Corona reveals, 

God can heal.

Come Lord Jesus.

Have mercy on us.

病毒揭开了上帝医治的篇章

主耶稣啊，我愿你来

怜悯我们
