余光中·《不寐之犬》英译

往往，末班车过后<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

天地之大也不过剩下

一里半里路外

远屋的犬吠，三声两声

只有灯能体会

这时辰，灯下的白头人

也是一头无寐之犬

但守的是另一种夜

吠的，是另一种黑影

只要远一点听

——譬如在一百年外

就听得清清楚楚

The Sleepless Dog

Yu Kwang-chung

Often, after the last train,

In this wide world there only remain,

A mile or half a mile away,

Some dogs barking, two or three.

Only my lamp knows, at such moments,

This graying head by the light

Is no less a sleepless dog,

One that watches a different night

And barks at different shades.

Only it takes a greater distance

–A hundred years away, for instance,

To hear it right.
