【The Wind Shifts (1917)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        This is how the wind shifts:

        Like the thoughts of an old human,

        Who still thinks eagerly

        And despairingly.

        The wind shifts like this:

        Like a human without illusions,

        Who still feels irrational things within her.

        The wind shifts like this:

        Like humans approaching proudly,

        Like humans approaching angrily.

        This is how the wind shifts:

        Like a human, heavy and heavy,

        Who does not care.

【《风向变化》(1917)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

                这就是风向变化：

                有如老人的思想，

                依旧焦虑

                而绝望。

                风向这样变化：

                有如没抱幻想的人，

                她依旧心生荒谬感。

                风向这样变化：

                有如人类骄傲地对待，

                有如人类愤怒地应付。

                这就是风向变化：

                有如人，大而猛，

                满不在乎。
