I, too, sing America
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--
I, too, am America.
*From The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, published by Knopf and Vintage Books.
我,也歌唱美国
兰斯顿 休斯
我是黑人兄弟
他们令我在厨房吃饭
当客人来访
我只是笑笑
然后吃的饱饱
让身体变得强壮
明天
我会在餐桌旁用餐
到那时
当客人进门
没人再敢
冲我说
“去厨房吃饭!”
此外
他们将看到我是多么出色
因我而感羞愧难当
我,也是美国
宛城卧龙译
选在兰斯顿 休斯诗选
