夏宇·《下午茶》英译

集体手淫过后一排

坐在那里读着报纸标题每个

晚上蜘蛛小便于他们流着口沫的嘴角蟑螂

爬过他们交媾的身体下蛋于赤裸的

鼠蹊你知道我们为什么会绝种吗

我梦见恐龙用一种鄙夷的口气

质问我那就是你们常常说的

集体的挫败感

Afternoon Tea

after collective masturbation a row of them

sitting there reading the newspaper headlines each

evening spiders piss at the corners of their drooling mouths

cockroaches

crawl over their copulating bodies laying eggs on naked

groins you know why we’re headed for extinction?

I dreamed of a dinosaur with a scornful voice

interrogating me that’s just what you’re always talking about that

collective sense of failure
