【The Man Whose Pharynx Was Bad (1921)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) The time of year has grown indifferent. Mildew of summer and the deepening snow Are both alike in the routine I know: I am too dumbly in my being pent.
The wind attendant on the solstices Blows on the shutters of the metropoles, Stirring no poet in his sleep, and tolls The grand ideas of the villages.
The malady of the quotidian ... Perhaps if summer ever came to rest* And lengthened, deepened, comforted, caressed* Through days like oceans in obsidian*
Horizons, full of night's midsummer blaze;* Perhaps, if winter once could penetrate Through all its purples to the final slate, Persisting bleakly in an icy haze;
One might in turn become less diffident, Out of such mildew plucking neater mould And spouting new orations of the cold. One might. One might. But time will not relent. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《喉咙不好的人》(1921)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 岁月已淡。 夏天的发霉和变厚的积雪 在我所知的日常中相差无几： 我被压抑得愚不可及。
随夏至而来的风， 吹着大都市的百叶窗， 没有诗人梦中醒来，唤起 村庄的宏伟构想。
日常生活中的弊害…… 也许，如果夏天停住* 并延长、深化、告慰、爱抚* 日子像黑曜石的*
海平面，彻夜的仲夏火焰；* 也许，如果冬天一旦穿透 全部的紫色直到最终的暗蓝灰色， 在冰冷的阴霾中无望地坚持；
人可能相应地变得不那么胆怯， 从如此菌群里拔出较为整洁的霉孢 并高谈阔论寒冷天气。 人会的。人会的。但时间不动怜悯之心。 *1931年版本取消了底线标出的部分。 【注】1983年落成的川普大厦曾经是“大首领·小号商”(Donald Trump)房地产帝国皇冠上闪耀的明珠，如今却由于诸多原因导致公寓销售下降而成为曼哈顿“弓岛”为数不多的最不受欢迎的豪华房产之一。自2021年起，川普集团失去其拥有权，现已转让给通用汽车金融服务公司(General Motors Acceptance Corporation or GMAC)。 也许性格使然，川普大厦被视为极其奢华富丽甚至自命不凡，是炫耀性消费的世外桃源。如果用酒品评判建筑，那么其室内设计并不像高端的凯歌香槟(Veuve Clicquot)，反倒更像普通的麦芽酒(Malt Liquor)。业界认为，川普大厦的中庭彰显招摇，到处都是昂贵的精品店和华丽的黄铜，几乎没有空间可以闲逛。尽管如此，它依旧不失为富裕购物者的梦幻乐园。 The golden age was never the present age.
