空也静双语诗选
Ten Short Poems by Kong Yejing
译/ 王昌玲
Tr. by Wang Changling
1. 爱情冻结成一块冰
这个季节太冷
爱情最容易冻结
成为一块冰
你很难撬开紧闭的嘴
寂寞变得
越来越坚硬
就像揣在心口的一块石头
梦里不停地吻
一觉醒来
早已化成水
湿了一片枕巾
1. Love is Frozen into a Block of Ice
This season is too cold
Love is prone to be frozen
Into a block of ice
You cannot pry open a closed mouth
Loneliness is getting
Harder and harder
Like a stone on the chest
Endless kisses in dreams
Turn into tears
That wet the pillow
Now you are wide awake
2. 整个冬天
一场接着一场的雪
覆盖了整个冬天
赶不走的寒
冻结了飞翔的翅膀
看不见一条小路
通向失眠的夜晚
孤独滑倒的身体
被一阵风艰难地扶起
摇摇晃晃地
走不进一个人的梦
越积越厚的相思
铺在床头
一条毛毯压住羽绒被
捂不热
黎明的冰凉
2. The Whole Winter
One snowfall after another
Covers up the whole winter
The persistent cold
Freezes the flying wings
No pathlet in sight
Can ever access the sleepless night
A lonesome figure slips aground
And stands up, assisted by the wind
Staggering
Unable to enter anyone’s dream
Lovesickness piling up
Spreads at the bed head
A woolen blanket over a down-filled quilt
Still fails to warm up
The coldness at dawn
3. 今夜,我被一个词刺痛
——写在2014 年情人节
一场雪深埋着春天
根本看不见风的身影
一朵又一朵玫瑰
像风情万种的女人
走在二月冰冷的街头
点燃城市的黄昏
把心里的寒一点点逼出
缓慢的脚步
踩碎一串说不尽的私语
我害怕一个词
隐在花瓣的背后
像蜂携带的刺
扎进伸出的手
看不到流出的血
只觉得有喊不出的痛
3. Tonight, I’m Stung by a Word
--Written on Valentine’s Day in 2014
A fall of snow buries spring deep
Not even breezy
One rose after another
Like amorous women
Cat-walking in the street in chilly February
Who ignite the urban twilight
Who bit by bit force out the cold in my heart
Whose slow steps
Tread upon and crush endless whispers
I’m afraid of a word
That’s hidden behind the petals
Like the sting of a bee
That stings the out-stretched hand
The oozing blood is invisible
Yet acute is the unutterable pain
4. 坐在一首诗里
我不能像蚕
吐丝
将身体包裹
从此与世隔绝
整日面对
生活千丝万缕的缠绕
终究解不开
越绑越紧的结
让疲惫的灵魂
坐在一首诗里
把几个词颠来倒去
却躲不过一阵风
4. Sit within a Poem
I can’t spin silk
Like a silkworm
To envelop my self
And shut the world out
All day long, faced up with
Myriad entanglements of life
I fail to untie
The tightening ties
Just let my tired soul
Sit within a poem
Transposing a few words
Yet getting caught in a gust of wind
5. 颠 倒
失眠的夜
把瞌睡强加于黎明
从此黑与白
彻底颠倒
生活开始紊乱
你不敢肯定的说出
纠结在世故里的
是与非
如果时光也能颠倒
我多么情愿回到
曾经的
一无所知
5. Reverse
The sleepless night
Imposes sleepiness onto the dawn
Ever since, black and white
Are reversed
And life is thus disorganized
You cannot be so assertive
About what’s right or wrong
With the entangling world affairs
What if time was reversible?
How do I wish to return
To the original
Innocence!
6. 洗不净满脸乡愁
每天不止一次地
对着一面镜子
反复擦洗
一盆清水
洗不净满脸的乡愁
故乡像攥在手心的肥皂泡
轻轻一捏
便碎了
比纸更薄的脸皮
越绷越紧
我只能靠浓浓的脂粉
抹出一点欢欣
6. My Faceful of Homesickness is Unwashable
Each day, more than once
Facing a mirror
I repeatedly wash and scrub my face
A basin of clean water
Cannot wash off my faceful of homesickness
My hometown is like a soap bubble in my palm
A slight touch
Breaks it
The thinner-than-paper skin
Is taut all the more
With a thick layer of powder and rouge
I apply some joy onto my face
7. 噩 梦
一只蛾
咬破厚厚的蛹
天太黑谁也看不清
我就是那只蛾
撞进一张大网
越是挣扎
缠得越紧
我想一定完蛋了
那夜一只蜘蛛
睡得很死
天亮了
我终逃过一劫
7. A Nightmare
A moth
Bit the thick cocoon open
It was too dark for anyone to see
That I was that moth
Plunging into a huge net
The more I struggled
The more tightly I was entangled
Oh, I’m doomed
That night, a spider
Slept tight
At dawn
I escaped
8. 是 非
按理说
是与非
不是仇人
也冤家
却常常狼狈为奸
坐在一起
痛饮
醉意中
不分彼此
8. Right and Wrong
By rights
Right and wrong
Are opponents
If not foes
Yet they often collude
Sit together
Drinking deep
When drunk
They are thick as thieves
9. 月亮读不懂我的忧伤
坐在黄昏的山头
眺望故乡
夕阳如一块石头
沉落
带走了天上的云朵
带走晚归的牛羊
草原一片空寂
从未有过的孤独
如一只流浪的狗
把一块比骨头更硬的往事
咬出难听的声音
半轮残月
读不懂我的忧伤
9. The Moon Cannot Understand my Sorrow
Seated atop a mountain at sunset
I’m gazing into the direction of my hometown
Like a stone, the setting sun
Is sinking
Taking away all the clouds in the sky
And the homebound cows and sheep
Leaving the grassland empty and silent
Loneliness I’ve never known before
Is like a stray dog
Gnawing at a past event harder than a stone
Nosily
The decrescent moon
Cannot understand my sorrow
10. 一块石头
比刀子还利的风
割不开一张紧闭的嘴
说了那么多的话
已无话可说
一把铁锤
用再大的力气
也很难敲醒
比夜更长的梦
如果非得扶起
也只是站成坟前的碑
与死去的人相守
多么安全
10. A Stone
The sharper-than-knife wind
Fails to slit open a closed mouth
So much has been said
Nothing more to be said
An iron hammer
With all its possible might
Fails to awake
The dream longer than night
If forced up
It only stands as a tombstone
Sticking with the dead
Is so safe
