白萩·《无声的壁虎》英译

不经意地从诗中醒来<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

那滑音的残余

 

是密室中或飞或歇   

一只不宁的小锦蛾

 

他的同伴已被惊吓逃逸

只剩他还在梦中飞翔

 

而那头壁虎窥视已久

逐渐测好位置

在几度歇落之后

无声而急速地扑上

 

我无端地哀痛一声

感觉已进入了现实的腹内

 

Silent Gecko

Bai Qiu

 

Awakening from a poem

That lingering gliding sound

Is a restless moth

Flitting around the closed room

 

Its companion has been frightened away

It alone flutters in a dream

 

The gecko has eyed it for a long time

And has moved into a good position

After a few pauses

It strikes swiftly and silently

 

For some reason I cry out in sorrow

Feeling caught in the belly of reality
