【Waving Adieu, Adieu, Adieu (1936)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) That would be waving and that would be crying, Crying and shouting and meaning farewell, Farewell in the eyes and farewell at the centre, Just to stand still without moving a hand.
In a world without heaven to follow, the stops Would be endings, more poignant than partings, profounder, And that would be saying farewell, repeating farewell, Just to be there and just to behold.
To be one's singular self, to despise The being that yielded so little, acquired So little, too little to care, to turn to the ever-jubilant weather, to sip
One's cup and never to say a word, Or to sleep or just to lie there still, Just to be there, just to be beheld, That would be bidding farewell, be bidding farewell.
One likes to practice the thing. They practice, Enough, for heaven. Ever-jubilant, What is there here but weather, what spirit Have I except it comes from the sun? —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《挥手再见、再见、再见》(1936)】 华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 那将是挥手,那将是哭泣, 哭泣、叫喊、示以告别, 眼别,心别, 静立原地而手不挥动。
在没有天堂可循的世界,停留 会成结局,比离别更凄美、更深切, 那将是告别,反复告别, 只为呆在那儿观望而已。
做独特的自我,鄙视 那些付出极少、收获 甚微、关怀无几的存在,转向 永远欢腾的天气,啜饮
举杯而一言不发, 要么睡觉要么静卧, 只为呆在那儿,只为看得到, 那将是告别,告别。
人喜欢侍奉。他们践行, 充分地,为了天堂。永远欢腾, 除了天气这儿还有什么,除了 精神来自太阳我还有什么? 【注】逢年过节,便是走亲访友的时候。平日各自忙着的人,终于能借着节日的由头聚在一起,吃顿饭,说说话。有情不管别离久,情在相逢终有期——哪怕一年只见一面,只要见了,那份情谊便还在。 蜀苑、火山麻辣烫和金城酒家,是我们常去的地方。喜欢那里的家乡风味——麻婆豆腐的辣、麻辣烫的烫、烤羊肉串的香,每一口都像把故乡的味道从记忆深处拽回舌尖。更惦念那些温良可人的老板,他们记得你爱吃什么,你进门时递上一个熟悉的笑容,结账时塞给你一颗爽口糖,随口说一句“送你的”——那感觉不像顾客,倒像回家。 西部阡陌上的湘园,离我家远。跑一趟来回,像去了一趟拥堵的费城。若不是最近才与业主千金锦婷共用一间办公室,湘园于我,大约永远只是一个听说过的名字。可认识一个人,便推开了一扇门。山河不足重,重在遇知己——一座遥远的湘园,忽然就近了。走亲访友,吃的不是饭,是情。而那些有温度的地方、有温度的人,就是我们在异乡最踏实的归处。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2015: Mei Ting Asian Fusion(梅婷亚洲风味) 2013: New Year's Eve on Mozambique Channel(莫桑比克海峡过阳历除夕) 2012: NY's Eve @ Sea, Argentina(阿根廷除夕航海) Sheung Garden, a No-Frills Place Focused on Takeout Quality over Fancy Ambiance
