【英诗汉译】日子的尾声

唐凯

日子的尾声


有时很简单；
安静的街道，风化的石头和砖块，
空气如此清新，让人恍然不觉
六十年的光阴已然流逝
像珠子从孩子指间滑落——

修道院的鸟巢，还有
血一样渗出的光线，
一如旧日样子，仍在这里，
一路尾随我们的手提箱回家。

Day's End


Sometimes it is simple;
a quiet street, weathered stone and brick,
air so fine it could trick the senses
through which six decades have slipped
like beads through a child's fingers—

the convent rookery and the light
that bleeds through.
All as we left it, and still here,
trailing our suitcase home.

Day's End

Peggie Gallagher

日暮

诗：佩吉·加拉赫

译：金沙文字

Sometimes it is simple;
a quiet street, weathered stone and brick,  
air so fine it could trick the senses
through which six decades have slipped  
like beads through a child's fingers—

岁月如斯平平
街静石朽砖横

清风似酒醉人

一个甲子飞逝

犹如一串露珠

滑落童子手指

the convent rookery and the light
that bleeds through.
All as we left it, and still here,
trailing our suitcase home.

修院枯树鸦窝

残阳如血透过

万事虽去犹在

追随行囊入屋

-------------------------
简评：诗人像是时空绘画高手，借落日下可见寥寥景物，触发不可见系列幻景，亦真亦幻。写落日，不见日；写忧愁，不见愁。

金沙的翻译别开生面。我翻译的时候内心特别感动，对这种不浮躁的诗歌喜欢得不得了。
