【Sunday Morning·II (1923)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Why should she give her bounty to the dead?

        What is divinity if it can come

        Only in silent shadows and in dreams?

        Shall she not find in comforts of the sun,

        In pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else

        In any balm or beauty of the earth,

        Things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?

        Divinity must live within herself:

        Passions of rain, or moods in falling snow;

        Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued

        Elations when the forest blooms; gusty

        Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights;

        All pleasures and all pains, remembering

        The bough of summer and the winter branch.

        These are the measures destined for her soul.

【《星期天早晨·之二》(1923)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            她为何要给逝者做奉献？

            什么样的神性只是出现

            在无声的阴影和静寂的梦乡？

            难道阳光下她找不到信仰，

            刺鼻的水果与翠绿的翅膀，甚至其它

            任何慰藉或世间美好，

            得像天道一样加以珍惜？

            神性必须走进她的生活：

            豪情如雨下，心绪如雪落；

            孤独寂寥中的悲戚，或难抑

            林花盛开时的喜悦；荡漾

            秋夜泥泞道路上的情感；

            所有的快乐和全部的痛苦，怀恋

            夏日的粗枝乃至冬天的枯条。

            这些注定成为衡量她灵魂的准绳。

【注】如今网购物品、在线交易(付款、转账……)、远程工作、视频会议等风起云涌，仿真门诊也早已见怪不怪，可是“虚拟急诊”却超乎我个人的想象力，但没吃过猪肉，难道还未曾见过猪跑？

最近因为陪同突患扁桃腺脓肿的母亲前往宾州阿宾顿“父城”医院打点滴，我才对虚拟急诊有了切身认识。即使身在急诊室现场，你有幸在确定治疗方案时见到医生本人，并且仅此而已，随后除了当班护士护工忙里忙外，急诊科大夫(包括实习生)犹如神龙，见首不见尾，简直形同虚设。因此，如果迫不得已，最好到私人诊所去看具有专业水准的资深医师。
