【To A Woman (A une femme)】 Victor Hugo (1802-1885) Child! if I were king, I would give the empire, And my chariot, and my scepter, and my people on their knees And my crown of gold, and my baths of porphyry, And my fleets, for which the sea cannot suffice, For a look of you!
If I were God, the earth and the air with the waves, Angels, demons bowed before my law, And the deep chaos with fertile entrails, Eternity, space, and the heavens, and the worlds, For a kiss from you! —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《致女人》】 (法國)維克多·雨果“勝利者·哲人”(1802生—1885卒) 【紅霞譯】 寶貝！如果我是國王，我情願獻出王位， 我的戰車、權杖、跪拜的子民 我的王冕金冠、斑岩浴場， 還有大海無法容納的艦隊， 只為換取你的一個眼神！
如果我是上帝，我情願捨棄大地、天空和海洋， 天使、惡魔在我的律法面前俯首稱臣， 我情願捨棄飫甘饜肥的渾噩、 永恆、宇宙和極樂世界， 只為換取你的一個親吻！ 【注】孔卡諾“角岬”圍城坐落在布列塔尼“英國佬之地”(Brittany)半島南岸，像一艘石砌的巨艦，泊在大西洋的潮汐中。它始建於14世紀，起初只是一座簡陋的防禦工事；17世紀，沃邦“忠誠”(Vauban)元帥用他那套棱堡體系，將其改造為一座堅不可摧的要塞——厚牆、陡坡、射擊孔，一切都為了扼守這片狂野的水域。英法兩國曾在此多次交鋒，炮火與潮汐交替漲落。英國人來了，又走了；城牆被炸開，又被砌回。孔卡諾像一枚釘子，被反覆鍛造，卻始終釘在法國的版圖上。 如今，硝煙散盡，孔卡諾已成為法國第三大鮮魚港口。清晨碼頭上，漁船的汽笛與海鷗的叫聲混在一起，銀色的沙丁魚在網中跳躍，空氣中滿是海水與魚鮮的氣息。它是歐洲領先的金槍魚碼頭——那些被陽光曬得微溫的藍鰭金槍魚，正從這裡出發，沿着冷鏈走向歐洲各地的餐桌。 我站在沃邦設計的城牆上，海風灌滿衣袖。潮水退去，露出城基深色的石縫。炮眼朝海，卻再等不到敵船。藍鰭金槍魚正被吊上岸，在陽光下閃着一層冷冽的光。我摸了摸城磚，粗糙而微涼——像還存着某場雨的記憶。那一刻，這座島嶼更願意被這樣記住：不是要塞，是一艘漁船進港時，那聲穿過水麵的汽笛。它不尋找回答，只在消散前，恰好被我接住。我轉身走下城牆，鳴笛的餘響還貼着牆根，沿着石壁緩緩落下，像一句不需要被翻譯的告別，被海風收納進島的聲紋里，為每一個側身傾聽的人，留出一個可以停靠的腔體。潮水正在牆根重新漲起，像在替剛剛經過的聲音，合上一道尚未乾透的封緘。我沿着牆繼續走，腳下石面不平，像在提醒：沒有抵達，只有海風，和它願意替你托住一段的聲響。風仍從海面來，穿過炮眼，穿過不再需要瞄準的缺口，像在完成一句沒有主語的句子——而我是它尚未完成的動詞。
