张烨·《沙漠落日》英译

砰然一声

撞碎了天边的玻璃栅栏

一头红豹从蓝色囚笼逃脱

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

自由的足音翻越一个个沙丘

红豹追逐雪白的流沙狂奔欢叫

直至筋疲力尽

不知过了多久它睡着了

一只黑色的巨掌

从天际伸展过来抓起红豹

像拾起一粒红豆

轻捷、娴熟不著一丝痕迹 

Desert Sunset

Zhang Ye

A thump

Shattered the horizon’s glass paling

And a red leopard escaped from the blue pen

Free footfalls cleared the dunes

The red leopard raced exulting over the

Snow-white shifting sands

Until it slept exhausted when some time had passed

And a great black paw

Reached out from the sky’s edge and grasped it

Like a red bean

Nimbly, skillfully, leaving no scar
