【Human Arrangement (1947)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Place-bound and time-bound in evening rain

        And bound by a sound which does not change,

        Except that it begins and ends,

        Begins again and ends again—

        Rain without change within or from

        Without. In this place and in this time

        And in this sound, which do not change,

        In which the rain is all one thing,

        In the sky, an imagined, wooden chair

        Is the clear-point of an edifice,

        Forced up from nothing, evening's chair,

        Blue-strutted curule, true–unreal,

        The centre of transformations that

        Transform for transformation's self,

        In a glitter that is a life, a gold

        That is a being, a will, a fate.

【《人为安排》(1947)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

                暮雨中限于地点时间

                以及毫无变化的声音，

                除了开始又结束，

                还是开始又结束——

                雨由表及里 

                毫无变化。此地此时

                此声，毫无变化，

                下雨都是一回事，

                空中想象的木椅

                是大厦的亮点，

                从无到有，晚会的背座，

                蓝柱贵人之凳，真实而虚幻，

                转换的中心

                改变转换者的自我，

                生命之光中，金色

                就是存在、意志、命运。

【注】“娉娉袅袅十三余，豆蔻梢头二月初。”这是唐代诗人杜牧《赠别·其一》中的诗句，我家13岁的湉妞如同二月初豆蔻发芽，正含苞待放。omen in Sports Day
