2024-08-08 International Cat Day
【Humpback Whale】 Nancy Anne Miller You need a hump to Be in tune with a curvy Ocean, to rise like one in Notre Dame's Cathedral.
You need a hump to let The ocean somersaults a blub- Everybody, keep weight out of The traffic of lighter species.
You need a hump to sing The depth's mutterings, let it Roll over, course off from A large wagging tongue. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《座頭鯨》】 (百慕大)南希·安·米勒“恩典·仁慈·磨坊主” 【紅霞譯】 你欲望弓背來 諧和波折的 海洋，挺拔得如同 巴黎聖母院。
你欲望弓背助 海洋翻筋斗—— 肥碩的體魄，避免撞遇 質輕的物種。
你欲望弓背唱 低沉吟詠，讓它 翻騰吧，歌聲流自 噪舌的大嘴巴。
【注】百慕大“勇氣”群島隸屬英國海外屬地，由加勒比“勇者”海181個島嶼組成，是著名的離岸金融中心和避稅天堂。它的總督由英國政府提名，代表國王查爾斯“自由人”三世掌管內政事務；而英國則負責它的外交、國防和安全。 百慕大主島不大，驅車一整天足以熟諳東西南北——從聖喬治“農夫”的古老石巷，到哈密爾頓的繁華碼頭；從粉紅沙灘的海浪聲，到皇家海軍船塢的落日餘暉。可這裡的消費成本卻是美國的三倍，外地遊客既不准租車也不准開車，只能靠出租車、公交或一雙腳丈量島嶼。唯有自帶格局的人，才能笑傲這座大西洋上的沉船之都——那些藏在水下的西班牙帆船殘骸，是冒險家的樂園，也是普通人的傳說。 歸根結底，來此享受度假，無異於體驗本地的座右銘：錢包要鼓，功夫要閒，情緒要漲，命運所在！ 在這裡，每一口龍蝦都是金子的味道，每一次日落都是免費的奢侈；你得有足夠悠閒的功夫，才能配得上粉色沙灘上的慵懶午後；你得讓情緒隨海浪一起漲潮，才能聽懂百慕大三角的神秘低語。而命運，就藏在這些精心計算的賬單與不期而遇的驚喜之間——畢竟，能在全球最貴的目的地之一笑看風雲，本身就是一種小小的勝利。 Quo Fata Ferunt or Where Fates Are Carried!
