一種味道

A Certain Smell

Translated by 舒丹丹（Shu Dandan）、李以亮（ Li Yiliang）

Tammy Ho、韓任德（Higginbottom, Brendan Joseph）

高原上的野花

我願意為任何人生養如此眾多的小美女

我願意將我的祖國搬遷到

這裡，在這裡，我願意

做一個永不憤世嫉俗的人

像那條來歷不明的小溪

我願意終日涕淚橫流，以此表達

我真的願意

做一個披頭散髮的老父親

（2003）

Wild Flowers on the Plateau

I would bring up so many prettylittle girls for anyone

I would relocate my motherland

Here, where I would

Never be a cynic

Like the stream of unknown origin

I would shed streams of tears all day long, to express

I surely would

Be an old father with hair disheveled

Translated by Shu Dandan

終結者

你之後我不會再愛別人。不會了，再也不會了

你之後我將安度晚年，重新學習平靜

一條河在你腳踝處拐彎，你知道答案

在哪兒，你知道，所有的浪花必死無疑

曾經潰堤的我也會化成畚箕，鐵鍬，或

你臉頰上的汗水、熱淚

我之後你將成為女人中的女人

多少兒女繞膝，多少星宿雲集

而河水喧嘩，死去的浪花將再度復活

死後如我者，在地底，也將踝骨輕輕挪動

(2005)

Terminator

I will not fall in love with anybody else since loving you, no, never again

After loving you I will spend my remaining years in comfort, relearn to keep calm

A river bends at your ankles, you know where the answer

Lies, you know all the spray is doomed to die away

Collapsing as the dike, Iwill also turn into a dustpan, a spade, or

Sweat and tears on your cheek

After loving me you will become the woman among women

With so many children around the knees, so many stars in the sky

The river in uproar, the dead spindrift reviving

The dead underground, like me, will also shift their ankle bones lightly

Translated by Shu Dandan

如果根莖能說話

如果根莖能說話

它會先說黑暗，再說光明

它會告訴你：黑暗中沒有國家

光明中不分你我

這裡是潮濕的，那裡乾燥

蚯蚓穿過一座孤墳大概需要半生

而螞蟻爬上樹頂只是為了一片葉芽

如果根莖能說話

它會說地下比地上好

死去的母親仍然活著

今年她十一歲了

十一年來我只見過一次她

如果根莖繼續說

它會說到我小時候曾坐在樹下

拿一把鏟子，對著地球

輕輕地挖

(2012)

If a Root Can Speak

If a root can speak

It will speak of darkness first, then light

It will tell you there is no country in darkness

No distinction between you and me in light

Here moist, there dry

An earthworm spends half a life to pass through a lonely tomb

While an ant climbs to the treetop only for a leaf bud

If a root can speak

It will say underground is better than the earth

The dead mother still lives

She is eleven this year

I only saw her once for eleven years

If the root keeps on speaking

It will speak of the boy I once sitting under the tree

Carrying a shovel, dug the earth

Gently

Translated by Shu Dandan

冬青樹

我在冬青樹上睡了一宿

那年我五歲

被父親趕上了冬青樹

我抱著樹榦唱了一會兒歌

夜鳥在竹林里振翅

我安靜的時候它們也安靜了下來

我們都安靜的時候

只有月亮在天上奔走

只有媽媽倚著門框在哭

（2013）

Holly

I slept on a holly overnight

When I was five

Driven by my father onto the holly

I hugged the trunk and sang a while

Birds flapping in the bamboo grove at night

When I calmed down, they calmed down too

We were all in silence

Only the moon walking in the sky

Only mother leaning against the doorframe and weeping

Translated by Shu Dandan

彩虹出現的時候

松樹洗過之後松針是明亮的

河流渾濁，像一截短褲

路在翻山

而山在爬坡

畫眉在溝渠邊鳴叫

卷尾鳥在電線杆上應和

松樹林的這邊是松樹

松樹林的那邊除了松樹

還有一群站在弧光里的人

他們仰著頭

他們身後的牲畜也仰著頭

（2013）

When the Rainbow Appears

After the pine trees are showered, the pine needles are bright

The muddy river flows, like a length of shorts

The road tramping over the mountain

While the mountain is climbing

A throstle twittering by the ditch

A drongo responding on the telephone pole

On one side of the pine forest were pine trees

On the other side a crowd of people standing in arc light

Besides the pine trees

They tilt their heads skyward

The livestock behind them tilt their heads likewise

我見過糖紙後面的小女孩

有一雙甜蜜的大眼睛

我注意到這兩顆糖：真誠和純潔

我為那些坐在陽光里吃糖的

孩子而欣慰，她們的甜蜜

是全人類的甜蜜

是對一切勞動的總結

肯定，和讚美

鑲嵌在生命中，像

星星深陷於我們崇拜的浩空

像歲月流盡我們的汗水，只留下

生活的原汁

我注意到糖紙後面的小女孩

在夢中長大成人

在甜蜜波及到的夢中

認識喜悅

認清甘蔗林里的親人

認定糖紙上蜜蜂憩落的花蕊，就是

我們的故居

我在糖紙上寫下你的名字：小女孩

並幻想一首終極的詩歌

替我生養全人類最美麗的女嬰

(1990)

Confetti

I see a little girl

who has two sweet eyes,

I see these two pieces

of candies:

The genuine and pure ones

I am relieved

to see the children

sharing candies in the sunshine

and their sweetness

is a summary of human labour as a whole,

which deserves high praises

and affirmation

They are inlaid in our lives

like stars

set in the high sky

We have sweated blood,

only resulting in

being capable of enjoying

that primary juice of life

I see the little girl behind confetti

grown up in her dreaming

recognizing

the Happiness in her honey dreamland

and her beloved in the fields of sugarcane

and the buds on the confetti

upon which the honeybees might rest

are our former residence

I write down your name on the confetti,

my beloved girl

dreaming of a poem of eternity

that can give birth to the one,

the most beautiful infant

for the whole kind of human beings

Translated by Li Yiliang

我們推

我過去問一個農民：

「你的祖國在哪兒？」

我過去聽他呻吟

他呻吟的時候，我過去

幫他推磨子

磨子轉過去，又重新

轉回來。我問他：

「你是否想過這個問題？」

一個農民，我想讓他放棄推磨

卻又不知道

這之後他該如何變谷為米

磨盤轉動

連石頭也學會了咬牙切齒

連我也變得心冷似鐵

Why We Grind

I went to ask a peasant,

"Where is your fatherland?"

I was used to hearing his groan.

While him groaning,I got close to him,

helping him with grinding his grains

While the grinder rotating back and forth

I raised him such a question,

"Had you ever thought of it?"

But a peasant as he was.I ever thought

helping him abandon his grinder,

only to find not knowning

how to make grains into rice

Grinder always turns.

No one could stop its full rotation.

Even stones have learnt to gnash its teeth,

Even I have become as iron-hearted as the grinderstone.

Translated by Li Yiliang

夏日一幕

蛙鳴過後應該是蟬鳴

應該是知了讓樹林安靜

抬頭望去

滿眼儘是連體胎兒

桃子和桃子，和桃子

酸與甜……

更遠的地方

麥田黃，竹葉青

烏雲翻過山了

烏雲在山坡上滾

池塘里浮出若干張嘴

應該是魚吻

又輕柔又絕望

像夢中曾經的事

應該是石頭落下了

而不是暴雨將至

走親戚的人迎面碰上了親戚

（2013）

A Summer Scene

Must be the cicadascalling after the frogs

They know to returnthe forest to quietude

Looking out

All you can see areconjoined twins:

Peach and paech,andpeach

Sour and sweet…

Further away

Yellow wheatfields,green bamboo leaves

Storm clouds crossedthe mountains

Storm clouds tumbleddown the slopes

Some mouths surfacein the pond

They are fishes』kisses

Tender,butsimultaneously despairing

As though it』s adream sequence

It must be thestones crumbling down

Instead of an approachingrainstorm

People vistingrelatives find themselves facing them head-on

Translated by Tammy Ho

廢園所見

南瓜藤爬到處暑後就不肯再往前走了

肥厚的葉片上長滿了白毛

這朵南瓜花快蔫了

那朵正在興頭上

南瓜舉著拳頭

誓言今生又白活了

而我又看見了童年時的那一幕

如此真切卻不真實

——父親用竹竿撩起藤蔓搭在樹枝上

南瓜後來就變成了燈籠——

如此明亮幾近恍惚

（2012）

Seen In a Disused Courtyard

Pumpkin vines refuseto press on after August

White hairs grow onfat leaves

This pumpkin floweris about to wither

That one is goingstrong

Pumpkin raises itsfists

Swears about yetanother wasted life

And I,onceagain,remember a childhood scene

Vivid,thoughfictional

--Father hanging thevines branches with a stick

The pumpkins grewinto lanterns

So bright and soambiguous

Translated by Tammy Ho

雨夾雪

春雷響了三聲

冷雨下了一夜

好幾次我走到窗前看那些

慌張的雪片

以為它們是世上最無足輕重的人

那樣飄過，斜著身體

觸地即死

它們也有改變現實的願望，也有

無力改變的悲戚

如同你我認識這麼久了

仍然需要一道又一道閃電

才能看清彼此的處境

（2013）

Rain Turned Snow

Three rolls of Spring thunder

One night of cold rain

I』ve often walk to the window to watch those

Flustered snowflakes

Thinking of them as the world』s most insignificantpeople

Drifting around, crooked bodies

land and die

They desire to change fact, but

mourn for a lack of strength to change

Like us, knowing each other for this long

but still needing flash after flash oflightning

to be able to see where we stand

Translated by 韓任德

（Higginbottom,Brendan Joseph）

對她說

我想過你

但更多的時候我在想自己

人時過半

多有傷感

若有感激，緣於奇蹟

我想過擺脫

這時而空虛時而虛無的生活

又妥協於安穩、慣性的美德

我想過你也會這樣

日復一日

一邊否定自己

一邊讚美自己

最終適應了沒有彼此的人生

(2014)

Say to her

I』ve thought of you

But most of the time I think of myself

Life half lived

Bearing sorrows

If there』s any gratitude, that』d be a miracle

I』ve thought of cutting loose

Now, and when hollow and empty life

Again compromises for stability, revolvingmorals

I thought you could be like this too

Day after day

Negating oneself

Praising oneself

Finally adjusting to life without one another

初生嬰兒的味道

純肉體的味道

是火中取栗的味道

勇敢者的遊戲帶來了黑暗中的薪火

我抱過你，像抱著

人世間全部的喜悅和悲傷

我用盡了全部的力氣

因為不知輕重

我親吻你，帶著人世間的濁氣

再也沒有比我們相遇更加悲哀的事了

(2014)

A Certain Smell

The smell of a newborn

The smell of simple flesh

Is the smell of chestnut retrieved from thefire

Heroes game, and pass the torch in darkness

I』ve held you, it was like

Holding all the world』s happiness and sorrow

I exerted all of my energy

Because I』m ignorant

I kissed you, imparting the world』s hecticessence

There will be nothing sadder than our firstmeeting

一百年來，漢語新詩的發展與外國詩歌及其翻譯的影響密不可分，但雙方的互動也始終存在不對等的問題。隨著中國當代文學的崛起，當代漢語詩歌期待在更廣闊的語境中發聲，同世界文學達成愈加豐富的交流與對話。

為進一步繁榮新時代詩歌，推動漢語詩歌走向世界，激勵本土詩人們創作出具有世界影響力的優秀作品，中國詩歌網與美國華盛頓PATHSHARERS BOOKS（出版有季刊21st Century Chinese Poetry）合作開展漢詩英譯活動。《詩刊》每期刊登的詩作及中國詩歌網「每日好詩」中的佳作，將有機會被譯成英語，刊於21st Century Chinese Poetry，並在中國詩歌網做專題展示。
