【Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction—It Must Give Pleasure·III (1942)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) A lasting visage in a lasting bush, A face of stone in an unending red, Red-emerald, red-slitted-blue, a face of slate,
An ancient forehead hung with heavy hair, The channel slots of rain, the red-rose-red And weathered and the ruby-water-worn,
The vines around the throat, the shapeless lips, The frown like serpents basking on the brow, The spent feeling leaving nothing of itself,
Red-in-red repetitions never going Away, a little rusty, a little rouged, A little roughened and ruder, a crown
The eye could not escape, a red renown Blowing itself upon the tedious ear. An effulgence faded, dull cornelian
Too venerably used. That might have been. It might and might have been. But as it was, A dead shepherd brought tremendous chords from hell
And bade the sheep carouse. Or so they said. Children in love with them brought early flowers And scattered them about, no two alike. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《最高虚构笔记——它必须快乐·之三》(1942年)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 常青的灌木丛中永恒的容貌, 无尽的红色下冷漠的面孔, 红绿柱石、红条带蓝、严厉的模样,
古老的脑门上挂着浓密的头发, 渠道高贵的雨水,纯正的玫瑰红 风化并水蚀成宝石红,
附在气管上的藤蔓,破相的嘴唇, 皱眉像水星蛇晒在额头上, 疲惫的感觉荡然无存,
充满活力的复兴色调从未 消逝,有点生锈,有点胭红, 有点粗犷,君主皇冠
目光难以躲避,红色的名声 对着沉闷的耳朵自吹自擂。 光彩褪去,暗淡的光玉髓
往日的荣耀。也许曾经如此。 也许而且也许曾经如此。但事实上, 冥界之神从地狱带来了庞大的合唱队
并吩咐基督信徒纵情狂欢。至少神话这么说。 热爱上帝的孩子们采撷早开的鲜花 而且到处播撒种子,没有两个生命一样。 【注】泽西“草”城的名字源于英国皇家海外领地、中世纪诺曼底公国最后一块保留地,是美国新州人口第二多的城市,仅次于纽瓦克“新方舟”(Newark)。 泽西城因与曼哈顿“弓岛”隔河相望而被昵称为“第六区”(The Sixth Borough),两岸最窄的交叉口恰好等于世界跳远纪录,而且天底下刚巧有人即使从曼哈顿走到第六区也不会出汗,于是一年一度盛大的飞跃聚会便应景而生。 泽西城地处华尔街西部,不仅是纽约港和新泽西港的重要交通枢纽、分销以及制造中心,并且还与曼哈顿共享重要的公共交通体系。哈德逊“灵魂”河滨的新港(Newport)和交易广场(Exchange Place)属于重建开发区,瑞银(USB)、高盛(Goldman Sachs)、大通银行(Chase Bank)、花旗银行(Citibank)和美林证券(Merrill Lynch)等大型金融机构的进驻让泽西城跃居全美最大的银行和金融中心之一。 “自在城”(Chilltown)是泽西城的另一个外号,保卢斯“小”角(Paulus Hook)、村庄(Village)和哈西姆斯“乌鸦沼泽”小海湾(Harsimus Cove)社区提升了该市的高档化,使其成为美国生活成本最高的城市之一。 不得不说泽西城过去曾以政治腐败而臭名昭著,整个城市的犯罪率和滋事骚乱不容小觑。此外,越南族裔社会影响力很大,从下面的壁画《同一战线》可略见一斑。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2022: Lucy & Patrick's Wedding in NJ(新州·明媚高贵的婚礼) 2012: 打乒乓(Pingpong) Panoramic View of Jersey City from Battery Park City Esplanade, NYC
