【Dancing】

Margaret Atwood (1939—)

            It was my father taught my mother

            how to dance.

            I never knew that.

            I thought it was the other way.

            Ballroom was their style,

            a graceful twirling,

            curved arms and fancy footwork,

            a green-eyed radio.

            There is always more than you know.

            There are always boxes

            put away in the cellar,

            worn shoes and cherished pictures,

            notes you find later,

            sheet music you can’t play.

            A woman came on Wednesdays

            with tapes of waltzes.

            She tried to make him shuffle

            around the floor with her.

            She said it would be good for him.

            He didn’t want to.

【《舞蹈》】

珍珠•阿特伍德(1939生—)

                是我父亲教母亲

                如何跳舞的。

                我从来也不知情。

                我以为恰恰相反。

                舞厅是他们的风格，

                优美的旋转，

                弯曲的手臂和花式舞步，

                一台绿眼睛的收音机。

                总有你不知道的事情。

                总会有个盒子

                存放在地窖里，

                穿坏的鞋子和珍贵的图片，

                以及你后来发现的便条，

                你不能演奏的乐谱。

                星期三有位女士

                带来一些圆舞曲磁带。

                她试图与他

                慢舞一曲。

                她说，这对他好有好处。

                他却不愿意。

Come live with me and be my love 

请来跟我同往，与我相恋，

And we will all the pleasures prove, 

我们将把所有的欢乐尝遍

That Valleys, groves, hills, and fields, 

在秀峰幽谷，清溪碧野，

Woods, or steepy mountain yields. 还有绵延起伏的群山之间。

And we will sit upon the Rocks, 我们将坐在山岩上

Seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks, 

看牧童喂他可爱的羔羊，

By shallow Rivers to whose falls 

在浅浅的小溪旁，对着流水的清

Melodious birds sing Madrigals.

鸟儿们婉转地把情歌唱。
