【The Man with the Blue Guitar·X (1937)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Raise the reddest columns. Toll a bell

        And clap the hollows full of tin.

        Throw papers in the streets, the wills

        Of the dead, majestic in their seals.

        And the beautiful trombones-behold

        The approach of him whom none believes,

        Whom all believe that all believe,

        A pagan in a varnished car.

        Roll a drum upon the blue guitar.

        Lean from the steeple. Cry aloud,

        "Here am I, my adversary, that

        Confront you, hoo-ing the slick trombones,

        Yet with a petty misery

        At heart, a petty misery,

        Ever the prelude to your end,

        The touch that topples men and rock."

【《弹蓝色吉他的人》之十(1937年)】

异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

              举起最红的柱子。敲钟

              并拍打锡罐来填充游行空隙。

              将纸片扔到街上，遗愿

              于逝者，威严的印章。

              那漂亮的长号——看呵

              没人相信好汉的处事，

              谁都相信愿意相信的，

              异议者乘着凯旋战车。

              蓝色吉他上金鼓齐鸣。

              尖塔倾斜。 哭声大作，

              “来吧，我的对手，

              面对你，光滑的长号呼啸，

              天地渐起惆怅

              内心深处，那一丝痛苦，

              永远是你终结的序曲，

              一下子让俊杰及岩石崩溃。”
