空也靜雙語詩選

Ten Short Poems by Kong Yejing

譯/ 王昌玲

Tr. by Wang Changling

1. 愛情凍結成一塊冰

這個季節太冷
愛情最容易凍結
成為一塊冰
你很難撬開緊閉的嘴
寂寞變得
越來越堅硬
就像揣在心口的一塊石頭
夢里不停地吻
一覺醒來
早已化成水
濕了一片枕巾

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. 整個冬天

一場接著一場的雪
覆蓋了整個冬天
趕不走的寒
凍結了飛翔的翅膀
看不見一條小路
通向失眠的夜晚
孤獨滑倒的身體
被一陣風艱難地扶起
搖搖晃晃地
走不進一個人的夢
越積越厚的相思
鋪在床頭
一條毛毯壓住羽絨被
捂不熱
黎明的冰涼

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，我被一個詞刺痛
——寫在2014 年情人節

一場雪深埋著春天
根本看不見風的身影
一朵又一朵玫瑰
像風情萬種的女人
走在二月冰冷的街頭
點燃城市的黃昏
把心里的寒一點點逼出
緩慢的腳步
踩碎一串說不盡的私語
我害怕一個詞
隱在花瓣的背后
像蜂攜帶的刺
扎進伸出的手
看不到流出的血
只覺得有喊不出的痛

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. 坐在一首詩里

我不能像蠶
吐絲
將身體包裹
從此與世隔絕

整日面對
生活千絲萬縷的纏繞
終究解不開
越綁越緊的結

讓疲憊的靈魂
坐在一首詩里
把幾個詞顛來倒去
卻躲不過一陣風

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. 顛 倒

失眠的夜
把瞌睡強加于黎明
從此黑與白
徹底顛倒

生活開始紊亂
你不敢肯定的說出
糾結在世故里的
是與非

如果時光也能顛倒
我多么情愿回到
曾經的
一無所知

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. 洗不凈滿臉鄉愁

每天不止一次地
對著一面鏡子
反復擦洗
一盆清水
洗不凈滿臉的鄉愁
故鄉像攥在手心的肥皂泡
輕輕一捏
便碎了
比紙更薄的臉皮
越繃越緊
我只能靠濃濃的脂粉
抹出一點歡欣

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 夢

一只蛾
咬破厚厚的蛹
天太黑誰也看不清
我就是那只蛾

撞進一張大網
越是掙扎
纏得越緊
我想一定完蛋了

那夜一只蜘蛛
睡得很死
天亮了
我終逃過一劫

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

按理說
是與非
不是仇人
也冤家
卻常常狼狽為奸
坐在一起
痛飲
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. 月亮讀不懂我的憂傷

坐在黃昏的山頭
眺望故鄉
夕陽如一塊石頭
沉落
帶走了天上的云朵
帶走晚歸的牛羊
草原一片空寂
從未有過的孤獨
如一只流浪的狗
把一塊比骨頭更硬的往事
咬出難聽的聲音
半輪殘月
讀不懂我的憂傷

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. 一塊石頭

比刀子還利的風
割不開一張緊閉的嘴
說了那么多的話
已無話可說
一把鐵錘
用再大的力氣
也很難敲醒
比夜更長的夢
如果非得扶起
也只是站成墳前的碑
與死去的人相守
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
