【The Plot Against the Giant - Third Girl (1917)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) Oh, la…le pauvre! I shall run before him, With a curious puffing. He will bend his ear then. I shall whisper Heavenly labials in a world of gutturals. It will undo him. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《对付巨人的策略·第三个女孩》(1917)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 噢,那……可怜的家伙! 我将跑到他面前, 稀奇古怪地吸着气。 那时他会喋喋不休。 我将轻声吐出 喉舌世界里神圣的唇音。 会让他闹心。 【注】落户在新草州名望镇(Robbinsville, New Jersey)的婆罗门教毗湿奴神庙(BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir)为神灵居住的圣洁礼拜场所,被视作印度次大陆亚洲以外最大的印度寺院,古老的印度教传统都是通过供奉在寺庙神圣的图像来崇拜神灵的。 自2011年破土动工至2023年10月对外开放历时12个年头,神庙的主要构架大功告成,从保加利亚、中国、希腊、印度、意大利和土耳其等国家运来的花岗岩、石灰石、大理石、砂岩和其它矿物建筑材料将神庙打点得分外壮观。另据报道,来自世界各地超过12,500名志愿者参与了建造,由此也引发了宗教服务与人力剥削之间的劳工诉讼。 截至到2024年5月为止,毗湿奴神庙仍然提供免费参观,根据本人亲身体验,来之前最好事先上网预约免费游览时段(网址见下),否则如果时逢周末,那么免不了会像我们一样在现场等上个把钟头方才入内。 因为神庙恢宏,建筑群可按圣河(River Sarayu)东西河岸分成两半,下面的相片来自外部(西河沿)等候区。 〖附:预约免费参观网址〗https://www.baps.org/Global-Network/North-America/Robbinsville/Tour-Reservations.aspx
