2024-10-19 National Sweetest Day

【On the Way to the Bus (1954)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) A light snow, like frost, has fallen during the night. Gloomily, the journalist confronts
Transparent man in a translated world, In which he feeds on a new known,
In a season, a climate of morning, if elucidation, A refreshment of cold air, cold breath,
A perception of cold breath, more revealing than A perception of sleep, more powerful
Than a power of sleep, a clearness emerging From cold, slightly irised, slightly bedazzled,
But a perfection emerging from a new known, An understanding beyond journalism,
A way of pronouncing the word inside of one's tongue Under the wintry brees of the terrace. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《去公交車的路上(1954)》】 華萊士·史蒂文斯“異鄉人·花環”(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 夜裡下了小雪,像霜打一樣。 陰沉地,記者直面
變換世界中的透明人, 他以新知為生,
時下早晨的天氣,如是所說, 清新透涼、寒氣逼人,
直覺寒氣逼人,超乎 疲憊感,強過
睏乏勁,清醒迫於 寒氣,雙眼泛紅,視線模煳,
但標新立異的完美, 超越新聞的共識,
含混的吐字低回在 露台的寒風下。
【注】排燈節是印度教一年中最大的節日,燈火、團圓、祈願——這些關鍵詞穿越不同的信仰與文化,在人類的節日裡悄然相通。據說它相當於中國的春節,或美國的聖誕節,承載着相似的情感重量。 今晚回家途中,路經時代廣場時,意外撞見成群結隊的印裔同胞匯聚在這個世界的十字路口。五彩的沙麗在霓虹燈下流動,金色的飾品在夜色中閃爍,空氣中飄着咖喱與甜點的香氣。音樂響起,人們起舞,笑聲在每一張臉上綻放——我瞬間迷失在這場寶萊塢“孟買好萊塢”式的狂歡里,仿佛穿越了半個地球,置身於孟買“母親”或德里“門戶”的街頭。 而這裡,是紐約“新紫衫樹之地”。我站在人群邊緣,看着一個穿紗麗的小女孩在父親肩頭隨着音樂搖晃,她的笑聲像一粒被風揚起的種子,落進我這異鄉人的耳朵里。那一刻我忽然明白:節日讓一座城市暫時長出另一片土地的呼吸。那些燈火不是為了照亮街道,是為了讓離鄉的人能在異國的夜色里,辨認出故鄉的形狀。我不是印度教徒,也不懂那些祈願的經文,可當音樂停下,人群仍在三三兩兩地擁抱、合影、互道祝福——那種屬於“家”的溫度,不需要翻譯。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2024 2-Michelin-Starred Modern(大學四年級·紐約米其林二星—摩登餐廳) 2024 MoMA, the Adamantine Ladies NYC(紐約現代藝博館·金剛女士) 2024 MoMA, Artistic Movements NYC(紐約現代藝術博物館·美術傾向) 2023: 20th PA Conference for Women, PHL(費城第20屆賓州婦女大會) 2016: Personal Narrative: A Very Cold World(初三記敘文─冰冷的世界) 2014: 光華七年級B班演講比賽—夏天的來歷(虛構)(2014 G7B Speech—Summer)
