柴达木·《昌耀》英译

沧海去了——

龙虾海蟹，

都随着太古的水光泯灭，

留下一爿盐泽、

几茎荒草……

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

于今，

这死去了的海洋

业已复活。

我看见钢铁在苍穹——

盘作扶桑树的虬枝。

浓缩的海水

从隐身的鲸头，

喷气多少根泉突。

我看见希望的幻船，

就在这浮动的波影中扬帆……

 

Chang Yao

Qaidam

 

The blue sea gone—

Lobsters, crabs

Extinguished with archaic water light

Leaving a patch of salt marsh

And a few desert grasses

Now

The dead ocean

Revives.

I see steel in the firmament—

Coiled into Branches for Fusang trees. (1)

So many springs well

From the heads of whales with hidden bodies

In the concentrated sea

I see hope’s mirage boat

Set sail on the shadows of bobbing waves.
