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. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《人为安排》(1947)】 华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(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】13岁,杜牧早已替她写好了:“娉娉袅袅十三余,豆蔻梢头二月初。”那枝头的嫩绿花苞,含着露水,将开未开,像晨光里第一道还没完全站稳的光。我家湉妞今年也正好13岁——从扎着两根小辫追着哥哥满院跑的妞儿,渐渐长成一个会在镜子前多停几秒的少女。她开始在意穿什么、梳什么发型,可一转身,又像小时候那样黏着人要抱抱、缠着哥哥问东问西。 13岁,是孩童与少女之间那道薄薄的分界线。既有少女的羞涩与矜持,又有孩子的天真与烂漫。豆蔻梢头,含苞待放——这是人生里最好的时辰之一,像二月初的春风,不急着吹开什么,只是在枝头轻轻碰一下,等花自己决定什么时候开。湉妞,愿你慢慢长,在春风里静静地、美美地,开出属于自己的花。 我仍会记得她扎着小辫追过院子的背影,也会记得她在镜前停顿的那几秒,以及那句“这样好看吗”里尚未被世事覆盖的认真。这些都将在更复杂的季节里,以它们自己的方式,教会我如何继续观看——不是往回看,而是像观察一朵花如何从枝头伸直那样,继续观看。那朵将开未开的花,终将以她自己的方向,长出她自己的形状。而我,只是站在那已泛青的枝头旁,为她即将到来的绽放,留出全部的空间。那空间不必被填满,它本身就是一种等待的方式——等花苞不再需要等待,等春天自己走进来。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2016 Super Bowl on the CNY's Eve(中国除夕与2016年超级碗) 2014: Text-dependent Analysis—Lab Rats(语境分析—《超能高校生》)
