冬至问侯

冬至问侯

胡子/美国

我收到一些冬至问侯

暖暖的 像桌上汤圆

当年往事又显现在香气前

我们聚会时轻松的祝愿

我们的眼睛都闪烁泪水

数着下次相聚的日子

阳光射入我们小屋里

你们说 

异乡的汤圆不会如此白净

Silence 沉默

【小专栏】西方电影中引用的诗歌

电影:《钢琴恋》(The Piano)

诗名:《沉默》(Silence)

作者: 托马斯·胡德 (Thomas Hood), 英国诗人，以幽默诗而闻名。

原文

There is a silence where hath been no sound,

   There is a silence where no sound may be,

   In the cold grave—under the deep deep sea,

Or in the wide desert where no life is found,

Which hath been mute, and still must sleep profound;

   No voice is hush’d—no life treads silently,

   But clouds and cloudy shadows wander free,

That never spoke, over the idle ground:

But in green ruins, in the desolate walls

   Of antique palaces, where Man hath been,

Though the dun fox, or wild hyena, calls,

   And owls, that flit continually between,

Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan,

There the true Silence is, self-conscious and alone.

胡子 译

有种沉默阒寂无声，

此种沉默悄然无息，

如冷冷墓里—如深深海底，

如暮气沉沉大漠戈壁，

其久久静谧，仿佛酣睡长眠；

无一丝声响可听，无一活物爬行，

虽见云与云影悠悠漫移，

但于虚空大地之上，它们从不言语：

而此地苍绿废墟，古殿残壁，

处处遗留人类足迹，

只闻鬣狗嚎啕，赤狐哀鸣，

鸱鸮飞掠返往不停，

随阵阵呼啸回荡，萧萧凉风呻吟，

此乃真沉默呀，惶惶不安孤孤零零。

秋天的梦

秋天的梦

胡子/美国

据说秋从未离去

它游走在种子间 

收集醒着的梦

它拒绝被现今挂虑占有

存心为来年打造新梦

若你足够敏锐

你必看见它跨进田间 

若你足够安静

你必听到它最微小的呓语

当大地展开丰盛

它又卑微的进入梦里

立冬的枫叶

立冬的枫叶

胡子/美国

下

坠

斑斓的枫叶

被冷秋拥抱着......

很快 透亮将拥抱整座密林

枫叶把知足的丽影

铺满陡峭山岭 

跳跃在潺潺小溪

点缀男男女女磕磕绊绊的路径

苍白的桎梏 郁郁叹气 颤颤匿迹

似乎沧桑也豁然惬意

似乎较量也怡然平息

短暂与恒定从末谋面

很快 枫叶将它俩糅成眼睛

一只看欲 一只看命

某处我永无法抵达，在那超然快乐 (somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond)

【小专栏】西方电影中引用的诗歌

电影:《哈拿姐妹》(Hannah and Her Sisters)

诗:《某处我永无法抵达，在那超然快乐》(somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond)

作者:e.e.卡明斯 (e.e. cummings)，美国著名诗人、画家、评论家、作家和剧作家。诗风大胆革新, 不断突破语言边界。本诗特色:全诗为小写英文字母。

原文

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond

any experience,your eyes have their silence:

in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,

or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me

though i have closed myself as fingers,

you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens

(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and

my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,

as when the heart of this flower imagines

the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals

the power of your intense fragility:whose texture

compels me with the color of its countries,

rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes

and opens;only something in me understands

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)

nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

胡子 译

某处我永无法抵达，在那超然快乐

无以言说， 其宁静于你目中闪烁：

你至美柔姿将我紧裹，

你近在咫尺 却不可触摸

惊鸿一瞥 你便轻易把我开拨

即或我心门紧锁如拳紧握，

你总能一瓣一瓣将我舒展 如春姑

（神奇精巧一碰）展开她玫瑰中的头朵

倘若你想将我收拢，我和

我的生命将美美的刹那闭合，

恰如这朵春花心生虚幻

白雪正蹑手蹑脚漫天飘落；

你有股神力 激荡柔弱

世上无一能与其相比: 你柔肌韵味

拥万国之色激活着我，

随一呼一吸演绎着生死永恒

 （不知你怎能将我开拨

 与合拢；只本能明了

 你秋波暗语比玫瑰深奥）

 无人，甚至雨丝，有你如此娇巧的小手

地球翻转让你我更近 (The Earth Turned to Bring Us Closer)

《地球翻转让你我更近》(The Earth Turned to Bring Us Closer)

The Earth Turned to Bring Us Closer

   by Eugenio Montejo

   translated by Peter Boyle

   The earth turned to bring us closer,

   it spun on itself and within us,

   and finally joined us together in this dream

   as written in the Symposium.

   Nights passed by, snowfalls and solstices;

   time passed in minutes and millennia.

   An ox cart that was on its way to Nineveh

   arrived in Nebraska.

   A rooster was singing some distance from the world,

   in one of the thousand pre-lives of our fathers.

   The earth was spinning with its music

   carrying us on board;

   it didn't stop turning a single moment

   as if so much love, so much that's miraculous

   was only an adagio written long ago

   in the Symposium's score.

胡子 译

恰如《爱宴经》所述

地球翻转让你我更近

它在我们体内自旋

直至于这梦中与我俩相联

无数黑夜雪日过去 无数冬至夏至轮替

光阴以分秒以千年流逝

一辆往尼尼微的牛骑

竟抵达内布拉斯加之地

那只远处啼叫雄鸡

竟是先祖千世前的一只

地球随曲飞旋

带着我俩畅游天宇

它旋转不息

仿佛有无尽的爱 充满无比神奇

那曲竟出自《爱宴经》

古时中一段柔柔慢乐

注： 《爱宴经（Symposium）》，柏拉图著，一部反映希腊人对“爱”看法的对话集。

 

奶奶湖边玫瑰小屋(Gramma Rose’s Small Lake House)

奶奶湖边玫瑰小屋

Version 2

湖边玫瑰小屋

半间扎根磐石

半间直达穹苍

奶奶生前泪水

一半充溢大湖

一半隐匿夕阳

她爱哼的玫瑰小曲

从山边湖港

静静飘越山庄

缕缕馨香

悄然流向我的梦乡......

当夜冷峻人生迷茫

仿佛听到奶奶吟唱：

孩子 想想伯利恒上空星光

摸摸小时倒立石墙

切记奶奶日夜祈祷

愿你在此盛开

愿末了 长到天上

我们永远一起怒放 

在玫瑰的故乡

Gramma Rose’s Small Lake House

By Hu Zi

Gramma Rose’s Small Lake House

Half builds on the rock

Half reaches for the sky

Gramma Rose’s tears

Fill in half of the big lake

Hide in half of the sunset

The rose tune she loved to hum

Drifting over the lake and the town quietly

Diffusing fragrance endlessly

Appearing in my dreams secretly......

When my night is passionless and my life is meaningless

As if I heard her sing:

My child, think about the starry sky above Bethlehem

Touch the stone wall which you stand upside down when you were a child

Remember what Gramma prays day and night

May you bloom on earth

May you grow to the sky in the end

We are in full bloom forever in the hometown of roses

Version 1

奶奶生前 一睁眼

就开始边哼玫瑰小曲

边钩织毛衣帽子

针针线中穿梭

曲曲飘逸芬芳

我喜欢徜徉在她身旁

当夜冷峻人生迷茫

恍如听到奶奶吟唱

孩子 穿上毛衣戴上帽子

到花园漫步 

摸摸小时倒立的石墙

回想伯利恒上空的星光

记得奶奶日夜祈祷

愿你在此盛放

散发玫瑰馨香

愿末了重逢

在更佳美的地方

我喜欢徜徉在她的玫瑰小房
