树才·《莲花》英译

我盘腿打坐度过了

许多宁静无望的暗夜。

我呼吸着人的一吐一纳——

哦世界？它几乎不存在。

另一个世界存在……

另一些风，另一些牺牲的羔羊，

另一些面孔，但也未必活生生……

总之，它们属於另一个空间。

打开的双掌，是我仅有的两朵莲花。

你说它们生长，但朝哪个方向？

你说它们赶路，但想抵达哪里？

我只是在学习遗忘——

好让偌大的宇宙不被肉眼瞥见。

Shu Cai

I have spent many tranquil and desireless nights

Sitting, my legs crossed in meditation.

I breathe a human’s breath- in and out-

eh, world? It hardly exists.

Another world exists…

Other winds, other sacrificial lambs,

other faces, not necessarily lively…

In other words, they belong to another space.

I spread my hands,

the only two lotuses I own.

You say they are growing- but in what direction?

You say they are on their way- but where?

I’m merely learning to forget-
