【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Give Pleasure·I (1942)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

         To sing jubilas at exact, accustomed times,

         To be crested and wear the mane of a multitude

         And so, as part, to exult with its great throat,

         To speak of joy and to sing of it, borne on

         The shoulders of joyous men, to feel the heart

         That is the common, the bravest fundament,

         This is a facile exercise. Jerome 

         Begat the tubas and the fire-wind strings,

         The golden fingers picking dark-blue air:

         For companies of voices moving there,

         To find of sound the bleakest ancestor,

         To find of light a music issuing

         Whereon it falls in more than sensual mode.

         But the difficultest rigor is forthwith,

         On the image of what we see, to catch from that

         Irrational moment its unreasoning,

         As when the sun comes rising, when the sea

         Clears deeply, when the moon hangs on the wall

         Of heaven-haven. These are not things transformed.

         Yet we are shaken by them as if they were.

         We reason about them with a later reason.

【《最高虚构笔记——它必须快乐·之一》(1942年)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            在节假日期间纵情歌唱，

            头戴救世主冠冕并身披雄狮威严

            就这样，如置其中，放开喉咙欢呼，

            让歌声诠释喜悦，成为

            快乐之辈的责任，感悟心灵

            平凡、无畏的源泉，

            这才是轻松的演练。圣徒

            引领小号和烈风琴弦，

            金色的手指拨动深蓝色的空气：

            对于植入的声部伴唱，

            要藉祖先素歌吟咏挖掘旋律，

            凭借音乐寻找光明

            远远超越感官模式。

            但最困难的严谨迫在眉睫，

            我们眼中的印象，得从

            非理性的时刻捕捉不合理性，

            随着太阳升起，当海水

            清澈见底，当月亮挂在

            天堂的墙头。这些并非转变的东西。

            我们却为世易时移而动摇。

            再找适宜的理由为自己辩解。
