北岛·《岸》英译

岸

北岛

陪伴着现在和以往

岸，举着一根高高的芦苇

四下眺望

是你

守护着每一个波浪

守护着迷人的泡沫和星星

当呜咽的月亮

吹起古老的船歌

多么忧伤

我是岸

我是渔港

我伸展着手臂

等待着穷孩子的小船

载回一盏盏灯光

The Bank

Bei Dao

Companion to the present and the past

the bank, lifting a tall reed,

gazes in all directions

it is you

who keep watch on each wave

and the bewitching foams and stars

when the sobbing moon

strikes up an age-old shanty

it is so forlorn

I am a bank

a fishing haven

I stretch out my arms

to wait for the needy children’s little boats

bringing back a string of lamps

（Bonnie S. McDougall 译）
