【Human Arrangement (1947)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Place-bound and time-bound in evening rain

        And bound by a sound which does not change,

        Except that it begins and ends,

        Begins again and ends again—

        Rain without change within or from

        Without. In this place and in this time

        And in this sound, which do not change,

        In which the rain is all one thing,

        In the sky, an imagined, wooden chair

        Is the clear-point of an edifice,

        Forced up from nothing, evening's chair,

        Blue-strutted curule, true–unreal,

        The centre of transformations that

        Transform for transformation's self,

        In a glitter that is a life, a gold

        That is a being, a will, a fate.

【《人為安排》(1947)】

異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

                暮雨中限於地點時間

                以及毫無變化的聲音，

                除了開始又結束，

                還是開始又結束——

                雨由表及里 

                毫無變化。此地此時

                此聲，毫無變化，

                下雨都是一回事，

                空中想象的木椅

                是大廈的亮點，

                從無到有，晚會的背座，

                藍柱貴人之凳，真實而虛幻，

                轉換的中心

                改變轉換者的自我，

                生命之光中，金色

                就是存在、意志、命運。
