2024-02-07 National Girls and Women in Sports Day 【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. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《人為安排》(1947)】 華萊士·史蒂文斯“異鄉人·花環”(1879生—1955卒) 【紅霞譯】 暮雨中限於地點時間 以及毫無變化的聲音,
除了開始又結束, 還是開始又結束——
雨由表及里 毫無變化。此地此時
此聲,毫無變化, 下雨都是一回事,
空中想象的木椅 是大廈的亮點,
從無到有,晚會的背座, 藍柱貴人之凳,真實而虛幻,
轉換的中心 改變轉換者的自我,
生命之光中,金色 就是存在、意志、命運。
【注】“娉娉裊裊十三餘,豆蔻梢頭二月初。”這是唐代詩人杜牧《贈別·其一》中的詩句,寫的是十三歲少女的輕盈與美好——娉婷裊娜的身姿,像二月初春的豆蔻枝頭,嫩綠的花苞剛剛探出頭來,含着露水,迎着晨光,將開未開,滿是希望。 我家的湉妞,今年也正好十三歲。看着她一天天長高,從那個扎着兩個小辮子、追着哥哥滿院子跑的小丫頭,漸漸出落成一個文靜而愛笑的少女。她開始有自己的小秘密,開始在鏡子前多停留幾秒,開始在意自己穿什麼衣服、梳什麼髮型。可一轉身,又像小時候那樣,撒嬌着要媽媽抱抱,拉着哥哥問東問西。 十三歲,豆蔻梢頭,含苞待放。這是人生中最美好的年華之一——既有少女的羞澀與矜持,又有孩子的天真與爛漫。湉妞,願你慢慢長大,像二月初的豆蔻一樣,在春風裡靜靜地、美美地,開出屬於自己的花。omen in Sports Day Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2016 Super Bowl on the CNY's Eve(中國除夕與2016年超級碗) 2014: Text-dependent Analysis—Lab Rats(語境分析—《超能高校生》)
