宇向·《阳光照在需要它的地方》英译

阳光照在需要它的地方<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

照在向日葵和马路上

照在更多向日葵一样的植物上

照在更多马路一样的地方

在幸福与不幸的夫妻之间

在昨夜下过大雨的街上

阳光几乎垂直照过去

照着阳台上的内裤和胸衣

洗脚房装饰一新的门牌

照着寒冷也照着滚落的汗珠

照着八月的天空，几乎没有玻璃的玻璃

几乎没有哭泣的孩子

照到哭泣的孩子却照不到一个人的童年

照到我眼上照不到我的手

照不到门的后面照不到偷情的恋人

阳光不在不需要它的地方

 

阳光从来不照在不需要它的地方

阳光照在我身上

有时它不照在我身上

 

Sunlight Shines Where It’s Needed

Yu Xiang

 

sunlight shines where it’s needed

shines on sunflowers and roads

shines on more sunflower-like plants

shines on more road-like places

between happy and unhappy couples

in streets with rain from last night

sunlight shines almost vertically

shines on panties and bras on the balcony

on a foot massage parlor’s newly renovated door sign

shines in the cold and on falling beads of sweat

shines in an August sky, upon glass that has almost no glass

children who’ve almost no tears

shines upon weeping children but not on a childhood

shines on my eyes but not on my hand

neither on the back of the door nor upon secret lovers

sunlight isn’t where it isn’t needed

 

sunlight never shines where it isn’t needed

sunlight shines on my body

sometimes it doesn’t shine on my body
