With How Sad Steps, O Moon, Thou Climb’st the Skies1

Philip Sydney2

With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb’st the skies,

How silently, and with how wan a face!
What, may it be that e’en in heavenly place
That busy archer his sharp arrows tries?

Sure, if that long-with-love-acquainted eyes

Can judge of love, thou feel’st a lover’s case;
I read it in thy looks; thy languish’d grace,
To me, that feel the like, thy state descries.

Then, e’en of fellowship, O Moon, tell me,

Is constant love deem’d there but want of wit?
Are beauties there as proud as here they be?

Do they above love to be loved, and yet

Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess?
Do they call virtue, there, ungratefulness?

2
Philip Sydney (1554-1586), English courtier, statesman, soldier, and poet. Born into an
aristocratic family and educated to be a statesman and soldier, Sidney served in minor
official posts and turned to literature as an outlet for his energies. The Defence of Poesie
(1595), an urbane and eloquent plea for imaginative literature, introduced the critical ideas of
Renaissance theorists to England. His heroic romance Arcadia, though unfinished, is the
most important work of English prose fiction of the 16th century.

Translation：

多麼悲傷的步履，哦！月亮，你爬到了天上

菲力浦·西德尼

多麼悲傷的步履，哦！月亮，你爬到了天上，
多麼安靜、多麼蒼白的臉！
什麼，天國裏
忙碌的丘比特竟還需用他的利箭？

當然，如果因久愛而熟悉的雙眼
能甄別愛情，那麼你就能感受愛；
從你的神情便知；你壓抑中的優雅，
對我而言，感覺類似，你的狀態告知了我一切。

即便出於友誼，哦！月亮，請你告訴我，
天國裏永恆的愛只因缺少智慧？
那兒的美人如同人間一般孤傲？

他們喜歡被人愛戀，而愛戀者
卻嘲笑他人墜入愛河？
他們是否也把美德叫忘恩負義？

 Lyke as a ship that through the Ocean wyde

(Amoretti 34)1

Edmund Spenser2

Lyke as a ship that through the Ocean wyde,

By conduct of some star doth make her way,
Whenas a storme hath dimd her trusty guyde,
Out of her course doth Wander far astray;

So I whose star, that wont with her bright ray

Me to direct, with cloudes is overcast,
Doe wander now in darknesse and dismay,
Through hidden perils round about me plast.

Yet hope I well, that when this storme is past

My Helice the lodestar of my lyfe
Will shine again, and looke on me at last,
With lovely light to cleare my cloudy grief.

Till then I wander carefull comfortlesse,

In secret sorow and sad pensivenesse.

猶如一隻小船航行在茫茫海洋

（愛情小唱 34）

埃蒙德·斯賓塞

猶如一隻小船航行在茫茫海洋，
依靠某些星辰來為它指引導航，
當風暴把那可靠的航標燈掩藏，
小船會誤入歧途失去它的方向；

我有我的星辰，她是如此明亮，
引我前行，卻被烏雲遮住光芒，
在灰暗和灰心之中我踟躕彷徨，
危機包圍，我穿行於驚濤駭浪。

暴風雨過去，我依然充滿希望，
我的赫利特呀你是我北斗之光，
重新照耀我，閃爍在我的心上，
用你燦爛的光芒洗去我的哀傷。

而我不再憂心忡忡象原先那樣，
不再愁思滿懷也不再黯然神傷。

（李磊 譯）

 Oh Mistress Mine1

William Shakespeare2

Oh mistress mine! where are you roaming?

Oh! Stay and hear; your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.

What is love? ‘Tis not herafter;

Present mirth hath present laughter;
What’s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.

噢，我的愛人

威廉·莎士比亞

我的愛人啊！你在哪兒遊蕩？
噢！駐足聽吧，真愛在唱，
這歌聲悠揚婉轉。
別再遠遊，可愛的甜心，
智者之子無不相信，
漂泊終結于愛人團圓。

愛是什麼？愛不在將來；
今天歡笑只因今天開懷；
未來的一切無法定奪：
延宕中勢必失去很多；
來吧，親吻我，年輕的愛人，
青春易逝，逝者無痕。

 There Is a Garden in Her Face1

Thomas Campion2

There is a garden in her face,

Where roses and white lilies grow,
A heavenly paradise is that place,
Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow.
There cherries grow, which none may buy
Till “Cherry ripe!” themselves do cry.

Those cherries fairly do enclose

Of orient pearl a double row;
Which when her lovely laughter shows,
They look like rosebuds filled with snow,
Yet them nor peer nor prince can buy,
Till “Cherry ripe!” themselves do cry.

Her eyes like angels watch them still;

Her brows like bended bows do stand,
Threatening with piercing frowns to kill
All that attempt with eye or hand
Those sacred cherries to come nigh,
Till “Cherry ripe!” themselves do cry.

她的臉龐是花園

托瑪斯·坎品

她的臉龐是花園，
盛開著百合和玫瑰；
那裏是美妙的天堂，
散發著鮮果宜人的芳香；
櫻桃也在那兒生長，然卻不售不賣，
除非它們自己宣告，“櫻桃熟了！
”

她的雙唇之間，
含著兩排璀璨的珍珠，
當她嫣然一笑，
紅唇皓齒恰似含雪的玫瑰花蕾；
達官貴人也不能收買，
除非它們自己宣告，
“櫻桃熟了！”

她的眼睛像天使靜靜守候，
她的雙眉似彎弓矗立防守，
她犀利的蹙眉警告著：
偷窺和竊取都將自取其辱。
無人能接近那聖潔的櫻桃，
除非它們自己宣告，
“櫻桃熟了！”

 Break of Day1

John Donne2

‘Tis true, ‘tis day; what though it be?

O wilt thou therefore rise from me?
Why should we rise because ‘tis light?
Did we lie down because ‘twas night?
Love, which in spite of darkness brought us hither,
Should in despite of light keep us together.

Light hath no tongue, but is all eye;

If it could speak as well as spy,
This were the worst that it could say,
That being well, I fain would stay,
And that I loved my heart and honor so
That I would not from him, that had them, go.

Must business thee from hence remove?

O, that’s the worst disease of love.
The poor, the foul, the false, love can
Admit, but not the busied man.
He which hath business, and makes love, doth do
Such wrong, as when a married man doth woo.

John Donne（1572-1631）, English poet. Donne was born into a Roman Catholic family. As
the greatest of the English Metaphysical poets, he is noted for his love lyrics, religious verse
and treatises, and sermons. His secular poetry, most written early in his career, is direct,
intense, brilliantly witty, and daringly imaginative. Later his tone darkened with works. His
19 famous Holy Sonnets (written 160713) were published posthumously.

破 曉

約翰·多恩

哦，天亮了，又將如何？
莫非，你要離我而去？
為何天亮必須起床，
為何黑夜才能共眠？
不論晝夜，
愛，理應讓你我相擁廝守。

光亮是失語的窺探者；
它若開口，
便是災難，
如若安好，我將停留。
至高無上的愛情與榮譽
是我永遠的珍愛和堅守。

煩瑣細事應該去除，
那是愛情最大的毒瘤。
愛情理應寬容，
卻不容瑣碎的忙碌。
愛情就是心無旁騖，
否則便是已婚男子偷情求偶。

（宋梅梅 譯）

 The Vision1

Robert Herrick2

Sitting alone (as one forsook)

Close by a Silver-shedding Brook;
With hands held up to love, I wept;
And after sorrowes spent, I slept;
Then in a Vision I did see
A glorious forme appeare to me;
A virgins face she had; her dresse
Was like a sprightly Spartanesse.
A silver bow with green silk strung,
Down from her comely shoulders hung:
And as she stood, the wanton Aire
Dandled the ringlets fo her haire.
Her legs were such Diana shows,
When tuckt up she a hunting goes;
With Buskins shortned to descrie
The happy dawning of her thigh;
Which when I saw, I made accesse
To kisse that tempting nakednesse:
But she forbad me, with a wand
Of Mirtle she had in her hand:
And chiding me, said, Hence, Remove,
Herrick, thou art too coorse to love.

幻景

羅伯特·赫裏克

孤單的我孑然而坐，
身邊銀色的小溪波光閃爍；
伸手示愛，我淚流滿面；
幾度悲傷後，獨自入眠；
夢幻中我真切地看見
一個美妙的身姿嫋嫋出現；
面容貞潔的她衣裾飄飄，
輕快活潑地不期而到。
銀白的弓系著碧綠的絲，
從她美麗的肩膀垂飾。
她站在那兒，頑劣的清風
將她的發卷輕輕撥弄。
狩獵時她卷起了褲管，
那雙腿啊堪比月亮女仙；
縮短的長靴展露出肌膚，
她清秀的大腿悅人如玉；
此情此景我無法抵觸，
欲上前親吻誘人的裸露。
她揮起手中的魔杖，
制止了我的放蕩。
責罵我：赫裏克，滾開，
粗俗的你哪裏懂得愛。

 The Garden of Love1

William Blake2

I went to the Garden of Love，

And saw what I never had seen：
A Chapel was built in the midst，
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut，

And “Thou shalt not” writ over the door；
So I turn’d to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore,

And I saw it was fillèd with graves，

And tomb-stones where flowers should be；
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds，
And binding with briars my joys and desires.

愛的花園

威廉·布萊克

我走向愛的花園，
卻見到前所未見：
我曾嬉戲的綠茵地，
一座教堂屹立其間。

只見教堂大門緊關，
“你不可”寫於門前；
因而我轉向愛的花園，
繽紛繁花已不再嬌豔。

我見它盡被墳塋埋填，
墓石又把花叢來侵佔；
黑衣教士正在來回穿，
荊棘縛著我的喜與盼。

 It Is a Beauteous Evening1

William Wordsworth2

It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,

The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration, the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility;
The gentleness of heaven broods o’er the Sea:
Listen! the mighty being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder--everlastingly;
Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,
If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,
Thy nature is not therefore less divine:
Thou liest in Abraham’s bosom all the year,
And worship’st at the Temple’s inner shrine,
God being with thee when we know it not.

天穹俯瞰著大海，柔情蜜意：
聽！這強勁的生命正在蘇醒，
他永恆的搏動正爆發出
雷霆萬鈞的聲音—永不停息；
親愛的孩子！親愛的姑娘！與我同行此地，
倘若莊嚴沉思未能打動你，

你終年躺在亞伯拉罕的懷裏，
在神廟的內殿虔誠拜謁，

 Surprised by Joy1

William Wordsworth

Surprised by joy — impatient as the Wind

I turned to share the transport—Oh! with whom
But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb,
That spot which no vicissitude can find?
Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind—
But how could I forget thee? Through what power,
Even for the least division of an hour,
Have I been so beguiled as to be blind
To my most grievous loss? —That thought's return
Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore,
Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn,
Knowing my heart’s best treasure was no more;
That neither present time, nor years unborn
Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.

愛，不渝的愛，仍舊歷歷在目
什麽力量，能讓我將你忘懷，
哪怕僅僅分秒，
啊！莫非將這悲痛，拋諸腦後
竟可讓我適從？
念及於此，唯生無盡哀慟
摯愛已逝，
餘我一人伶仃寂寞；
只願從今爾後，
心中永存你天使面容。

 Ode Written in the Beginning of the Year 17461

William Collins2

How sleep the brave who sink to rest

By all their country’s wishes blest!
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mold,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy’s feet have ever trod.

By fairy hands their knell is rung,

By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell a weeping hermit there!

范西曾踐踏的草地，
被披上一件美麗的綠衣。

仙女的手敲響了他們的喪鐘，
無影的哀歌為他們奏響；
榮譽走來，一個發白的朝聖者，
祝福包裹他們粘土上的草皮，
自由會片刻前來填補，
一個哭泣隱士的棲居。

 In Progress1

Christina Georgina Rossetti2

Ten years ago it seemed impossible

That she should ever grow so calm as this,
With self-remembrance in her warmest kiss
And dim dried eyes like an exhausted well.
Slow-speaking when she had some fact to tell,
Silent with long-unbroken silences,
Centered in self yet not unpleased to please,
Gravely monotonous like a passing bell.
Mindful of drudging daily common things,
Patient at pastime, patient at her work,
Wearied perhaps but strenuous certainly.
Sometimes I fancy we may one day see
Her head shoot forth seven stars from where they lurk
And her eyes lightnings and her shoulders wings.

Christina Georgina Rossetti(1830-1894), English poet. The youngest child of Gabriele
Rossetti and the sister of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, she found her highest inspiration in her
deep religious faith. The collections Goblin Market (1862) and The Prince’s Progress (1866)
contain most of her finest works. Her best poetry is strong, personal, and unforced; her
success arises from her ability to unite the devotional and the passionate sides of her nature.

未完

克莉絲蒂娜·喬治娜·羅賽蒂

要她如此沉靜
十年前還似不可能，
滾燙的唇藏著私存的回憶，
混濁乾澀的雙目似枯竭的井眼淒迷。
她的訴說總是緩慢，
她的沉默一如既往，
自顧自地訴說卻不失取悅，
沉重單調如聲聲喪鐘那般。
埋頭於枯燥的體力活兒，
總隱忍著不論是歇息還是勞作，
她或許乏倦，卻必定是勞苦不堪。
有時我會幻想，有一天我們看到
她頭頂隱沒的七星終會閃耀，
雙眼奪目明亮，肩膀插上飛翔的翅膀。

 The Arrow and the Song1

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow2

I shot an arrow into the air,

It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,

It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterwards, in an oak

I found the arrow, still unbroken;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

 I Shall Not Care1

Sara Teasdale2

When I am dead and over me bright April

Shakes out her rain-drenched hair,
Though you should lean above me broken-hearted,

When rain bends down the bough;
And I shall be more silent and cold-hearted
Than you are now.

搖曳出雨浸的絲髪；
君雖肝腸寸斷俯身面前，
我竟漠然無心。

我已安眠如蔥郁密林
當雨把枝條壓彎；
我會更加漠然如石，
遠勝君此情此時。

Upon Meng Haoran’s Leaving for Guangling at Yellow Crane Tower

Li Po

At Yellow Crane Tower my friend waves me good-bye;

In misty and flowery March he leaves for Yangzhou.

The lonely boat sails away as if into the blue sky;

Far into the horizon the endless River doth flow.

Bai Juyi (772-846) was a Chinese poet best known for his ballads and satirical poems. He
held the view that good poetry should be readily understood by the common people and
exemplified it in poems noted for simple diction, natural style, and social content.

The River at Sunset

Bai Juyi

O’er the water the sunset spreads a gleam;

Half of the river is red while half is green.

Most appealing is the September night;

The pearl-like dew shines in the new moon’s light.

Li Shangyin (李商隱, 813-858) was a Chinese poet of the late Tang Dynasty, born in
Henei (now Qinyang, Henan). Along with Li He (李賀, 790-816), he was much admired and
“rediscovered” in the 20th century by the young Chinese writers for the imagist quality of his
poems. He is particularly famous for his tantalizing “no title” poems.

32
Translation：

The Golden Zither

Li Shangyin

The golden zither for no reason has fifty strings,

Along with a peg each reminds me of the early time.

Chuang-tzu gets enchanted in a dawn butterfly dream,

Emperor Wang utters cuckoo’s cry for sorrowful regret.

In the sea mermaids shed pearly tears,

In Mount Lantian the sunlit jade fields outpour mists.

All these got me lost at that time,

Alas! They can never be called back anew.

Yan Shu

I croon a new lyric verse with a cup of wine,

At the old pavilion last year when the clime’s fine.

Vaguely I seem to know the swallow comes again.

Lonely I linger by fragrant path and small garden.

Tipsy in the Shade of Flowers 1

Li Qingzhao

Among light mists and thick clouds I see sadness linger,

Watch the dying ember of incense in the golden censer.

At Mid-autumn and Double Ninth Festival,

Behind the bed curtain, on a jade pillow,

I feel the midnight coolness.

At dusk, I drink by the eastern fences,

While chrysanthemum’s aroma fills my sleeves.

Sorrow is my soul capturing,

The curtain is the west wind rolling,

And the face’s frailer than the flowers yellow.

The Joy of Snowflake

Xu Zhimo

Were I a snowflake,

Gracefully dancing in mid-air,

I would make out my way to go.

Flying, flying, and flying—

Onto the ground as my direction I’ll go.

Heading not to chilly valley,

Nor to the bleak foothill,

Nor to the deserted street for melancholy—

Flying, flying, and flying—

Look, I hold the direction of my own!

Elegantly dancing in the mid-air,

I recognize the dwelling peaceful,

Waiting in the garden for her visiting—

Flying, flying, and flying—

Oh, the plum aroma on her is prevailing!

39
那時我憑藉我的身輕，

盈盈的，沾住了她的衣襟，

貼近她柔波似的心胸——

消溶，消溶，消溶——

I land on her lappet gently,

Close to her chest soft and wavy—

Melting, melting, and melting—

一聲聽從我心底穿過，
忒淒涼，

太薄弱，
是人們的美麗的想像。

Hearing Music in the Deep Night

Lin Huiyin

Again, this must be your fingers,

In the deep night,
Gently playing of profound melancholy.

I can’t stop my flush growing,

In the deep night,
Silently listening to the liveliness of strings.

A melody pierces right through my heart,

So desperate,
I know, but how can I back echo?

Life has predestined what she’s alike,

Too fragile,
Fair is the imagination of human.

Unless, one day in dream,

You and I,
Together have the string of hope stirring.

The sweet dream is sending us on road.

Along with the morning glow and the twitter,

As well as your endless sweetness.

Recommendation of English Poets and Poems

J. H. Prynne

J. H. Prynne (1936- ) is one of the leading poets in the English world today. His
insightful exploration of the poeticality of the English language is acclaimed by
the general readers; his innovative writing is imitated by some contemporary
poets; and his advanced poetic thought is praised by the present academia.
Being an encyclopedic scholar, Mr. Prynne understands profoundly the history
of the English literature, especially the history of English versification, and the
development of sciences and philosophy. He keeps his close attention to the
trends of writing poetry around the world. He assimilates the achievements
from different branches of our human knowledge and applies them into his own
writing in an ontological way. His poems need to be interpreted with hard work
of the intelligent readers. Yet, even the common readers are able to appreciate
the beauty of his poetry with intuition. Prynne’s poetry represents the latest
triumph of the English versification for its bold and successful experiments,
such as the poetical deploy of the prosodic structure of the English language,
the organic combination of science into poetry, and the multi-points of view in
the presentation of streams of consciousness.

The poems and translations are selected from Selected Poems by J. H.

Prynne (Sun Yat-sen University Press, 2010), edited by Professor Ou Hong, a
famous scholar in English Poetry in China, also the adviser of Verse Version.

The Ideal Star-Fighter (I)

J. H. Prynne

Now a slight meniscus floats on the moral

pigment of these times, producing
displacement of the body image, the politic
albino. The faded bird droops in his
cage called fear and yet flight into
his pectoral shed makes for comic
hysteria, visible hope converted to the
switchboard of organic providence
at the tiny rate of say 0.25 per cent
“for the earth as a whole”. And why
go on reducing and failing like metal: the
condition is man and the total crop yield
of fear, from the fixation of danger; in
how we are gripped in the dark, the
flashes of where we are. It pays to be
simple, for screaming out, the eye
converts the news image to fear enzyme,
we are immune to disbelief. “If there
is danger there ought to be fear”, trans-
location of the self to focal alert, “but
if fear is an evil why should there be
danger?” The meniscus tilts the
water table, the stable end-product is dark
motion, glints of terror the final inert
residue. Oriental human beings throw off
their leafy canopies, expire; it is
the unpastured sea hungering for calm.

Treatment in the Field

J. H. Prynne

Through the window the sky clears

and in sedate attachment stands the order of battle,
quiet as a colour chart and bathed
by threads of hyaline and gold leaf.
The brietal perfusion makes a controlled
amazement and trustingly we walk there, speak
fluently on that same level of sound;
white murmur ferries the clauses to the true
centre of the sleep forum. The river
glints in harmony, by tribute from the darker
folds of that gutteral landscape which
lie drawn up under our touch. Blue-green to yellow
in memory beyond the gold number: the
tones and sweetness confuse in saline.
We burn by that echo. It is called love like a wren hunt,
crimson ice, basal narcosis. By deep perjury
it is the descent of man. Above him
the dicots flourish their pattern of indefinite growth,
as under cloud now the silent ones “are loath to change
their way of life.” The stress lines con-
verge in finite resonance: is this the orchestral
momentum of seed coat? Our trust selects
the ice cap of the General Staff, rod to
baton to radon seed (snowy hypomania)—thus he
jabs a hysteric wound, H2O2 at top strength.

From Not You (1993)

J. H. Prynne

With an eye turning for entry, most will

gather as others have, from the spicy bed
of a rising vertical trust: enough to clear
line to line clasp essentials, all
the same to claim plus set-off,
to shun this terrible cure. Across clouded
skies the current lies at
crossed living abruptly, outshining
the smart pulse in its sheltered prospect,
not like shoes and food in a clamour of
spent cases by rounding up
to the last place defence.
Each says the same, applying to take
out of this bruised event the frame of provoked
aversion. Ablative child care bleeds tonight!
No grip frightens the one falling
by mild derision, the acts have
been performed in mimic
troop tint delay affront, there
is no default position at true discount
up to innumerably more. Stop the boat
with a plug for floatation; the mothers assemble
at the sorting office, provably liquid he says
in pro tanto extinction. Blind
transfer goes ahead willingly, no fear
tripping the snug instep to a price floor,
gentle planets counting, rates mounting, winding
up to replace a slipped bracelet. Thus in mutual
fond delay the day advances,
yawning astragal with due
race to provision beyond the fixed mark of
break-out liable detachment, laid apart.

Pearls That Were (1999)

J. H. Prynne

Over the ferny leaf-blades lying close to the bank and now deeper
green from the dry weather a network of bright gossamer threads,
woven close together and catching the slant evening sun so as to
shimmer with a soft, trembling brilliancy; we both remarked on it ...

On the blush cheek making, to one

making to the one, a stealing
tear, of blushing as every age
betrays the sight, alone.

By light, ask and mellow reflected

then show to hope again
doubt yet believing, request the lost,
the blush to shine.

Concerns starting bright and oft

soft yielding, blush shining,
charm to hand, around the wound
her finest charm glowing.

So Orpheus tamed the wild beasts

for long night comes down
moving naked, over the wound,
the gem from the crown.

Translation：

是——珍珠，是

蒲齡恩

緊靠河岸的是蕨類一樣的葉子，因為乾燥的天氣而綠得深沉。葉
子上方，是緊緊地織在一起的蛛網薄紗。薄紗在斜陽下溫柔地顫
抖著閃光。我們倆都注意到了……

潮紅的面頰上，一個人
為那個人製造，一粒偷來的
淚珠，不比任何時代遜色
獨自，和這景致不和。

憑著陽光，追尋、醞釀、思索
接著又燃燒希望
在懷疑之中信任，要求失去的，
潮紅般閃光。

關懷來了，常常
滑向溫柔，紅紅地閃耀，
手染上魅力，傷口周圍
她最美妙的魅力在燃燒。

如此，奧菲士馴服了野獸
漫漫的長夜來臨
赤身行進，傷口上方，
從皇冠摘下的寶石。

垃圾收集（2004）

蒲齡恩

光亮照耀著坑裏的鞋底，這是通過扶手罩上
高雅的易貨貿易，呈馬鐙形貿易
無數的身體擠在一起，數也數不清。伸出魔爪
當然是為了石油換食品。肉體受監禁，先
設置好軌道火箭，貪婪把巨額
利潤的投資工具安放在那裏。安放
在那裏就會使你立即心滿
意足或大發橫財，新奴隸開辦連鎖店
搞招募，擺出他們想要的翻騰姿勢，
我們扇幾個耳光，偷竊偷竊。網路影視掠奪者
捆綁在高聳的柱子上，頭朝地面，興高采烈的
炸藥像一頭舞動的狗熊剝去
精明的性愛虐待狂，網頁污染。承認賣完了
自我輸入，是的強姦是的村莊武裝直升機
還有暴徒螺旋槳般粗壯的生殖器，進行種子實驗
造出孿生兄弟。
同性戀癖的男性肢體
一批又一批筋疲力盡地堆放在那裏，壯觀的場面
孕育著惡臭，甜蜜的腐朽崇拜著平靜
或秩序。是我們他們在做，然而現在
各個乾淨的角落都充滿了罪惡，抗拒
善良的騙子隱藏在權力的運動衫背後，
聳聳肩看腰身合不合適運動，踹門而入。
繼續，做吧，我們要拍下所有的靚影，家庭
電影持續不斷地上演，而他們是我們幹的，
通過眼睛滔天罪行滲透出來。重新制定
價值誠信，戰爭換石油，石油換食品，食品換
性騷擾謙讓的拒絕毀滅卑鄙的跛行
這聖潔的華麗偽裝。到處丟滿了小十字架，
你的和我的就湊合著在客廳秘密雞奸
賣到“自己動手”有一個國家。

應春花已不顧一切地敞開胸苞

林馥娜

春鼓尚未敲響

應春花已不顧一切地敞開胸苞

以乍現的綾綃映紅雪山與天邊

而雲杉仍在水邊照影

仿佛等待湖心突來的“咚”響

高原的日子

幽微似水，猶如湖面波瀾不興

春天，就是悄無聲息的山環水抱

風撫衰草，榮枯無礙季節的恩澤

72
Translation：

Winter Jasmine Strips Her Buds Boldly

Lin Funa

Spring drum doesn’t echo yet

Winter Jasmine strips her buds boldly
Like damask silk spreading first red onto snow mountain and horizon

Spruce’s still looking into water mirror

As if she’s waiting for the sudden “crack” from the heart of the lake

Days on Plateau
Like waveless lake, quiet and wispy

Spring’s just silent water cuddled with mountains

Wind’s comforting withered grass, vicissitude doesn’t influence season’s bestowing

(Trans. Zhang Guangkui)

73
莫蘭迪的瓶子

林馥娜

有的瓶子已倒下

灌滿生活的泥水

地站著，充塞虛無的傲氣

還有一些不斷掏空

不斷補白的瓶子

以 45 度的傾斜

拒絕圓滿的

空洞

而在時間的眼裏，這些

不過是一群

既不醜陋，也不美麗的靜物

74
Translation：

Morandi’s Bottle

Lin Funa

Some of the bottles fell down

Filled up with life’s muddy water

SomE
of
them
straight
Stand, cRammed with pretentious arrogance

Some others allow ceaseless flowing-in

And flowing-out
But always tilt at a 45 degrees’ angle
Refusing satisfied
Inanition

While in the eyes of time, they are

No more than the still lives in Nature
Not ugly, nor lovely

(Trans. Zhang Guangkui)

75
在賈梅士的雕像前

林馥娜

猶如鮭魚溯水，逆流益勇
被放逐的生命，無懼風浪的浩劫

在你蟄伏的洞穴
鴿靈紛紛振翅，越過遮天的假菩提

勇於孤獨的先行者
猶如刺穿黑暗的光芒，使途經之地生輝

“大海舉起白色的燈盞”
照見四百年後的來者

他們來自大國，也來自邊地
深知命運的轉盤並不受控於自我

傳染病般的恐懼，奪去的不止是眼睛
許多人大師般地睜一隻眼閉一隻眼，押上生存的價值

而靈魂的自我放逐者，如何以孤身突進的勇氣
把一張沒有箭的弓，拉得越來越滿

76
Translation：

Before the Statue of Cames

Lin Funa

Like a trout swimming against the stream, harder but braver

As a life exiled, you dread no storm or billow

In the cavern where you hibernate

Spirits of pigeons flutter, and soar high across the closed canopy of Mock Bodh tree

You are a pioneer who enjoys loneliness

And like a light piercing into darkness, light each inch of land you ever stepped on

“The sea holds up white light”

Illuminating people coming from four hundred years later

They are from great powers, or fronteira

They know well the cycle of fate is not under their own control

Fear, like infectious disease, deprives not only eyes

Many people, like masters closing one eye, mortgage the value of living

But the self-exile of spirit, with all guts of struggling alone

Pulls an arrowless bow, fuller and fuller

(Trans. Zhang Guangkui)

77
我帶著遼闊的悲喜

林馥娜

我把所有的人都看成另一個我。所有的我
行走著迥異的人生與相同的世道

有一個我遭遇暴雨
就有一個我邂逅晴天

這龐大又純粹的我，就像一首詩
快樂是一個詞，悲傷也是一個詞

每天，我用我的矛試驗我的盾
以精神的遠遊行刺麻木的肉身

我帶著遼闊的悲喜和一無所礙的心靈
帶著無處不在的束縛與自由

在一隅之地聞驚雷
于萬頃紛亂入清幽

而我，只是萬物中最卑微的一員
不過是荼蘼的一縷經絡，大千世界中的一粒幼沙

78
Translation：

I Bring Along With Worldly Grief and Joy

Lin Funa

I see every one as another me, every me

Experiencing disparate lives in the same universe

One me runs up against rainstorm

And another me runs into sunshine

The giant and pure me, is just like a poem

Joy is a word, and grief is also

Everyday, I poke my shield with my spear

I prick my numb body with traveling spirit

I bring along with worldly grief and joy as well as unimpeded soul
With omnipresent fetter and freedom

I feel the thunder in the tiny pocket of land

And seclude to tranquility in the chaotic world

Me, however, is just the humblest one of all creatures

A puny pistil in a blossoming flower, a grain of sand in the vast universe

(Trans. Tang Yaqi)

79
他人的痛苦

林馥娜

今夜的天空沒有星星
只有雲絮滾滾壓來
在黎明到來之前
她突然很想聽炮仗的聲音
一種淋漓的爆裂

她聽到了。她聽到
周圍有驚叫聲、嘈雜的人聲、熟悉的氣味
他喚她回來，他前所未有的哭

一些黑色的綢帶纏住她
一些綠色的枝蔓牽引她
愛麗爾縹緲的精靈之歌在迴響

她遁著聲音往回望
儘管伸手不見五指,坐起來是多麼困難
儘管走一步多麼維艱，裙裾磕絆

人們四散而去，包括他
她沒有停下來，她一直走回她站立的陽臺
臉上有大理石的微笑

另一個女人，目睹了整個過程
她把手揮了揮，神和鬼都不知道
她不拂落塵
她伸手擦去北斗星的七顆眼淚
她臉上帶著大理石的微笑，縱身一跳

80
Translation：

Others’ Agony

Lin Funa

Tonight, the sky appears no stars

With clouds only rolling and crashing
Before the break of dawn
She wants to hear the sound of firecracker suddenly
The crack of unbridled

She heard. She heard

The scream, the noisy voice, the familiar smells around
He beckons her back; he cries more fiercely than ever

Some black ribbons entangle her

Some green tendrils drag her
Ariel’s ethereal song of fairy keeps echoing

She looks back where sounds come

However dark, however hard to sit up
However tough of every step stumbled by dress

People disperse, he included

She does not stop, stepping forward to the balcony she’s standing on
Hanging marbled smile on face

Another woman, having the whole process witnessed

She waves, unaware even to God nor ghosts
She whisks not falling dust
She stretches out, shedding seven tears of the Big Dipper
She wears marbled smile, leaping up to jump down

(Trans. Tang Yaqi)

81
夢裏踏歌

林馥娜

她不知道自己能成為這樣的自己

只有勞作，沒有理想

踏水而舞、淩波而歌的自由，只是偶爾的夢想

每天，拖著麻木的身體

穿過大半個城市

心裏滾動著世俗的欲望和自強的躁動

每晚，在身邊沉沉的鼾聲與嬰兒香氣的擁抱中

安然入睡，就像飄在水床上

忘了骨頭的酸痛

夢裏，在深情的顧盼中

她踏歌起舞，白羽舒張

於無瀾的水面，擊起漣漪陣陣

82
Translation：

Dance to Songs in Dream

Lin Funa

Insensibly, she turned into such a person

Only work and empty ideals
Freedom of treading water to dance, riding waves to sing
Is just in dream occasional scene

Everyday, dragging the numb body

Across more than half a city
Worldly lust and restless self-reliance are in heart rolling

Every night, drowning in heavy snoring and sweet hug of baby

Composedly she falls asleep,
As if floating on water bed, oblivious of sore bones

In dream, in the affectionate anticipation

She dances to songs, arms stretching
On the tranquil water, gentle ripples wrinkling

(Trans. Tang Yaqi)

83
世界的倒影

林馥娜

一隻雛魚鷹嘴裏叨著一條小魚

它們圓睜的眼，就像彼此的鏡像

濕漉漉的清澈

兩隻緊抓著葦杆的長腳

撐起水裏的天空

它們打量著彼此及對方的世界

仿佛僵持著

想不通是要將對方舉起還是放下

天上的水渦和水裏的雲朵也屏住了呼吸

84
Translation：

Mirrored Image of the World

Lin Funa

A younger osprey pecks a little fish in her beak

Their rounded eyes seem mutual mirror
Wet and limpid
Clutching the weed
Two gracile claws prop up space from the water
In a stalemate
They measure each other
As if hesitating to lift up or lay down
As if mirrored puddles and clouds hold their breath
Tranquil and quiet

(Trans. Zhao Gu)

85
沒有寸田的留守

林馥娜

吾鄉吾土
我們飄泊的靈魂
將於何處落腳

舊草垛邊，熟睡的孩子滿身泥土
仿佛一堆拱起的麥子
讓人忍不住要匍匐掬起

老婦在夕陽下
重建可供反芻的過往
鄉村已失去它的雞犬相聞與作物拔節的萌動

青壯年如決閘之水，擁擠、推搡著
跌入時代的漩渦
工業戰線上的流水兵，在鐵打的營盤上疲憊轉戰

沒有寸田的留守
只剩下銹蝕的鐮刀和空蕩的屋頂
任穀雨的天水，如豆子沙沙濺落、流逝

86
Translation：

No Soil for Survival

Lin Funa

My country, my land
Where will be the soil
For my wandering soul!

By ancient haystack, the dirt on sleeping child

Like a humping pile of wheat
Draws ones to bend down for a scoop

At the sunset, the elder gran

Rebuilds the ruminant
The country has lost dogs’ barking and crop’s earing

The youth like, roaming flood

Crowding, pushing, falls into vortex of city
Workers exhaust to toil on indifferent assembly line

No soil for survival

Only rotten sickles and empty roofs left
Away dashes the rainfall in Grain Rain like beans and peas.

(Trans. Zhao Gu)
