2024-01-20 Take a Walk Outdoors Day 【The Brave Man (1936)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) The sun, that brave man, Comes through boughs that lie in wait, That brave man.
Green and gloomy eyes In dark forms of the grass Run away.
The good stars, Pale helms and spiky spurs, Run away.
Fears of my bed, Fears of life and fears of death, Run away.
That brave man comes up From below and walks without meditation, That brave man. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《勇敢的人》(1936)】 華萊士·史蒂文斯“異鄉人·花環”(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 太陽,那位勇敢的人, 從靜候的枝椏升起, 那位勇敢的人。
暗綠沉鬱的雙眼 在草叢的黑暗中 消逝而去。
美好的星辰, 蒼白的頭盔還有尖利的靴刺, 消逝而去。
故鄉的畏懼, 生命的畏懼還有死亡的畏懼, 消逝而去。
那位勇敢的人挺身 而起,毫不猶豫, 那位勇敢的人。 【注】今年冬季,天氣暖和得有失賓西法尼亞“山林”州大費城“兄弟之愛”地區常態。十二月都快過完了,院子裡的草還綠着,天氣預報里說的雪,總是繞着我們走。鄰居們見面都嘀咕:這哪像冬天? 直到元旦過後,寒流才終於姍姍來遲,一夜之間,恢復了千里冰封、萬里雪飄的本來面目。半個多月間,雨淞裹住了樹枝,濕雪壓彎了松枝,干雪又給一切覆上一層輕盈的白。推開窗望去,觸目的儘是龍鍾臘月的一片蕭索——可這蕭索,偏又美得讓人挪不開眼。
居家歡度寒假的紐約仔已是大三生,在春季返校前,終於迎來了大顯身手的好時機。他套上厚棉衣,抓起鐵杴,衝進雪地里。一鏟一鏟,雪被堆成小山;一帚一帚,車道露出黝黑的柏油。他鏟得滿頭大汗,卻笑得像個孩子。這場遲來的雪,像是冬天送給他的臨別禮物。 等他下周返校,雪大概也化了。但這幾天,有雪,有家,有他。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2017: Second Marking Period of Eighth Grade(初三第二學制) 2011: 熱議《華裔母親何以更優越》(Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior) 2009: 樂高生化戰士(Bionicles)
