John Ashbery（1927-2017）
即景两种

Ⅰ
我们在行动中才能看清自己：
每一次都有不同表现。
火车载着喜悦而来；
它敲打出的火花照亮桌子。
引导领航员的，是命运。
很久没听到这么多消息了，这么多噪音。
这一天温暖宜人。
“我们在你的头发上看到你，
空气在山顶休息。”
Ⅱ
一场细雨淋湿运河上的机器。
这是个普通而诚实的日子
世界的历史上没有记载
烟雾没有什么特别的威力
并且像贫穷一样干枯。
了不起的地方在一个老人身上
在颜料罐蓝色的阴影里
正如学员们笑着说的:“在晚上
每件事都有时间表，如果你能发现。”
Two Scenes
Ⅰ
We see us as we truly behave:
From every corner comes a distinctive offering.
The train comes bearing joy;
The sparks it strikes illuminate the table.
Destiny guides the water-pilot, and it is destiny.
For long we hadn't heard so much news, such noise.
The day was warm and pleasant.
'We see you in your hair,
Air resting around the tips of mountains.'
Ⅱ
A fine rain anoints the canal machinery.
This is perhaps a day of general honesty
Without example in the world's history
Though the fumes are not of a singular authority
And indeed are dry as poverty.
Terrific units are on an old man
In the blue shadow of some paint cans
As laughing cadets say,'In the evening
Everything has a schedule, if you can find out what it is.'
一些树
约翰.阿什贝利
张精锐 译
这些树令人惊奇：每一棵
都置身在邻居中，像在演讲
无声地展示自己。
偶然做出的安排
让你们邂逅在今日清晨
源于不同世界的一次默契
因此，你和我
突然成为这些树
试着来告诉我们:
它们在那里
有何深意;很快,
我们也可以触摸，爱，交谈。
很高兴这虚构的
美景，包围着我们。
寂静中的喧闹
在画布上一一浮现
微笑的合唱，在冬日清晨。
在难以置信的光影中，移动，
沉默笼罩的日子里
他们大声地为自己的辩护。
Some Trees
These are amazing: each
Joining a neighbor, as though speech
Were a still performance.
Arranging by chance
To meet as far this morning
From the world as agreeing
With it, you and I
Are suddenly what the trees try
To tell us we are:
That their merely being there
Means something; that soon
We may touch, love, explain.
And glad not to have invented
Some comeliness, we are surrounded:
A silence already filled with noises,
A canvas on which emerges
A chorus of smiles, a winter morning.
Place in a puzzling light, and moving,
Our days put on such reticence
These accents seem their own defense.
