【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Chang·V (1942)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) On a blue island in a sky-wide water The wild orange trees continued to bloom and to bear, Long after the planter's death. A few limes remained,
Where his house had fallen, three scraggy trees weighted With garbled green. These were the planter's turquoise And his orange blotches, these were his zero green,
A green baked greener in the greenest sun. These were his beaches, his sea-myrtles in White sand, his patter of the long sea-slushes.
There was an island beyond him on which rested, An island to the South, on which rested like A mountain, a pine-apple pungent as Cuban summer.
And là-bas, là-bas, the cool bananas grew, Hung heavily on the great banana tree, Which pierces clouds and bends on half the world.
He thought often of the land from which he came, How that whole country was a melon, pink If seen rightly and yet a possible red.
An unaffected man in a negative light Could not have borne his labor nor have died Sighing that he should leave the banjo’s twang. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《最高虚构笔记——它必要改变·之五》(1942年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 碧蓝的海岛天旷海阔 野橘树持续开花结果， 直到种植园主死后很久。酸橙所剩无几，
房子早已倒塌，三棵东倒西歪的大树渲染了 葱郁凋零。种植园主曾经的绿松色 和橙斑色，还有无绿色，
纯绿的阳光烤得更显憔悴。 曾经的海滩，曾经的香根菊长在 白沙上，拍打着长长的泥岸。
身后远离居住的海岛， 面朝南方，峻拔得堪比 一座大山，刺鼻的菠萝香气，宛似古巴的夏天。
而那边，就是那边，顶好的香蕉长了出来， 沉甸甸垂挂在大蕉叶下， 穿透云层并半弯在地上。
他时常追忆家乡， 乡间多像香瓜，粉色的 若看得透否则可能是红色的。
局外人站在负面的角度 吃不得苦，也死不掉 哀叹他该丢弃班卓琴般鼻腔乡音。 【注】我家紧挨着马夫镇，最招眼目的莫过于曾被征用的海军航空站柳树林联合后备基地(Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove)、现已改为美国武装部队预备役训练基地(Horsham Air Guard Station)。近50年的美苏冷战让马夫镇因驻军而获得丰厚的金融利益，直到2006年裁军部署才彻底导致马夫镇经济转型。 不管怎样，被载入《国家史迹名录》(Natl. Register of Historic Places)的名胜古迹却是如下建筑。
