2021-08-27 National Just Because Day 【The Emperor of Ice-Cream (1922)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) Call the roller of big cigars, The muscular one, and bid him whip In kitchen cups concupiscent curds. Let the wenches dawdle in such dress As they are used to wear and let the boys Bring flowers in last month’s newspapers. Let be the finale of seem. The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
Take from the dresser of deal, Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet On which she embroidered fantails once And spread it so as to cover her face. If her horny feet protrude, they come To show how cold she is, and dumb. Let the lamp affix its beam. The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《冰淇淋皇帝》(1922年)】 異鄉人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 叫來卷雪茄的大漢, 告訴肌肉男,使勁攪拌 廚房杯子裡堅硬的凝乳。 讓野丫頭穿上衣服四下逛盪 像平常打扮的那樣而讓小男生 帶上用舊報紙包好的鮮花。 讓現實取代幻想。 冰淇淋才是獨一無二的皇帝。
從梳妝檯取出東西 抽屜缺了三個玻璃把手,那床單 有她親手繡的扇尾鴿 鋪開床單遮住她的臉。 如果她的腳掌長繭,伸出來 身體冷得通透,已成殭屍。 燈光照在她身上。 冰淇淋才是獨一無二的皇帝。 【注】海港區的南街碼頭既不受西風影響,又免遭勇將之子河(Hudson River)冰凍侵襲,是紐約優良的避風港。
