【The Man with the Blue Guitar·XXVIII (1937)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

             I am a native in this world

             And think in it as a native thinks,

             Gesu, not native of a mind

             Thinking the thoughts I call my own,

             Native, a native in the world

             And like a native think in it.

             It could not be a mind, the wave

             In which the watery grasses flow

             And yet are fixed as a photograph,

             The wind in which the dead leaves blow.

             Here I inhale profounder strength

             And as I am, I speak and move

             And things are as I think they are

             And say they are on the blue guitar.

【《弹蓝色吉他的人》之廿八(1937年)】

异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

                我生长在这个世界，

                如同世人一样思想，

                天哪，并非源于心灵

                琢磨我自身的想法，

                纯粹地道，生长在这个世界

                如同世人一样思想。

                算不上一种心灵，波浪

                水草随之自由流动

                却像照片定格的画面，

                枯萎的落叶在水中飘零。

                由此我汲取智慧的力量

                其实，我就是我。

                事情就像我想的那样

                都在蓝色吉他上。

【注】极富魔力的绿地村曾经拥有纽约市最大的非裔群体，后来随着德国、法国、爱尔兰以及紧邻中国城的意大利移民进驻，逐渐改变了这一地区政治与文化格局。华盛顿广场正置绿地村中央，纽约市第一个社区组织恰好为了创立华盛顿(意指“睿智农家”)广场公园而建，从地理位置上来看，华盛顿广场介于第五大道富裕阶层和曼哈顿(意指“弓城”)下城贫困领地之间，是纽约著名的聚会场所和文化活动中心，。

纽约大学有以下5所本科学院及其学生住宅和生活设施散落在华盛顿广场公园周边绿树成荫的街道上：

• 文理学院(College of Arts & Science)

• “天青”个人学习学院(Gallatin School of Individualized Study)

• “石坚”文化、教育和人类发展学院(Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development)

• “明星”商学院(Stern School of Business)

• “桌子”艺术学院(Tisch School of Arts)
