张默·《我是一只没有体积的杯子》英译

站在时间的水平面上<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

隐隐浮着一层寒光的

你走近，它扑下

你远离，它升起

我是一只没有体积的杯子

 

穿过它的透明的眸子

一把抓住某些流动的液体

似乎可以瞧见，暴露在阳光下的

事事物物，除了一只没有脚的

硕大无匹的杯子之外，竟然一无所有

 

我欣悦，世界是如此波涛汹涌

幸好，我是一只没有体积的杯子

 

I Am a Glass of Unlimited Volume

Zhang Mo

 

Standing on the face of time

A layer of cold light faintly floats

Sinking as you draw near

Rising as you move away

I am a glass of unlimited volume

 

Piercing its clear pupils

To grasp the moving fluid

As if to glimpse everything

Exposed under the sun’s rays

There is nothing after all

Other than a huge stemless glass

 

I am delighted that the world surges like waves

Fortunately, I am a glass of unlimited volume
