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

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

            Tom-tom, c'est moi. The blue guitar

            And I are one. The orchestra

            Fills the high hall with shuffling men

            High as the hall. The whirling noise

            Of a multitude dwindles, all said,

            To his breath that lies awake at night.

            I know that timid breathing. Where

            Do I begin and end? And where,

            As I strum the thing, do I pick up

            That which momentously declares

            Itself not to be I and yet

            Must be. It could be nothing else.

【《弹蓝色吉他的人》之十二(1937年)】

异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

                 咚—咚，是我。蓝色吉他

                 与我交相呼应。管弦乐

                 响彻人潮涌动的大厅

                 华盖云集。嘈杂声

                 逐步减弱下来，所有一切。

                 化作沉默如夜的呼吸。

                 我知道那种柔顺的呼吸。是从哪儿

                 开始发展到结束？又在何处，

                 每当拨动琴弦，我是否找回

                 真情实意的表达

                 不是我却还

                 一定是我的样子。别无可能。
