汉诗英译 | 萧萧发彩凉 Cold Drizzle: Goddess’ Dazzling Hair

萧萧发彩凉哑 石

这季节，白色的孤独，特别

适宜伪装成黑眼珠去观察别的事物。

南方山坡寒冷，水凼上，残留

一层修薄的冰。它们，似可一触即破。

居住在四楼，我非常适合俯身

观察小区玉兰：此刻，还铁灰似的枯。

老婆公司老板，春节过得火红，

竟狡黠，不打算兑现员工报酬的承诺。

几天前，为双亲扫墓。云低垂，

道旁玉兰，喷涌出白色、嘶鸣的花朵。

选自《诗刊》

Cold Drizzle: Goddess’ Dazzling Hair

by Ya Shi

This season,call it white solitude, is the perfect time

to impersonatedark eyes to see the world.

The southernslope, still chilly, a film of ice remains

on the pond.The ice, so thin that it will break at touch.

From my home onthe fourth floor, I easily bend over

and see theMagnolia below: still ashen gray, still wilted.

My wife’s boss,who just held a gleeful New Year celebration,

has a cunningdesign to cancel employee compensation.

A few days ago,I swept my parents’ tombs. Clouds are low,

and magnoliaalong the road spewed out white, neighing flowers.
