格言短詩三語版61-65

61 “Die Sache mit der Herkunft“

Dass der Schornstein

gerade ist,

heißt nicht,

dass Rauch aus ihm

gerade aufsteigt.

 

“The Issue with the Origin”

That the chimney

is straight,

does not mean,

that smoke from the chimney

will rise straight up.

 

“出身問題”

煙囪直立

不能保證

裏麵冒出的煙

會垂直上升。

 

62 “Der Schrei“                                                                                                                                                                          

Der Schrei im Zeitalter                                                                                                                                                   

kalter Waffen                                                                                                                                                                     

ist eine Drohung—                                                                                                                                                         

gegen den Feind.

 

Der Schrei im Zeitalter                                                                                                                                               

der Feuerwaffen                                                                                                                                                                     

ist a Befehl—                                                                                                                                                                      

an die Untergebenen.

 

Der Schrei                                                                                                                                                                              

im Atomwaffen Zeitalter                                                                                                                                                       

ist Verzweiflung—                                                                                                                                                               

über uns.

 

“The Scream”

The scream in the era                                                                                                                                                          

of the cold weapon                                                                                                                                                            

is a threat--                                                                                                                                                                                       

to the enemy.

 

The scream in the era                                                                                                                                                          

of the firearm                                                                                                                                                                    

is an order—                                                                                                                                                                                     

to the subordinates.

 

The scream in the era                                                                                                                                                             

of the atomic weapon                                                                                                                                                                               

is desperation—                                                                                                                                                                 

about us.

 

“嘶喊”

嘶喊                                                                                                                                                                                 

在冷兵器時代                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

是對敵人的--                                                                                                                                                                      

威脅。

 

呐喊                                                                                                                                                                                  

在火器時代                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

是對下屬的--                                                                                                                                                                        

命令。                                                                                                                                                                                     

 

嘶喊                                                                                                                                                                               

在核武器時代                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

是對我們命運--                                                                                                                                                                

絕望的呻吟。

 

 63 “Der Kern”                                                                                                                                                                       

Inmitten jedes Ideals                                                                                                                                                  

verbirgt sich                                                                                                                                                                        

ein harter Kern:                                                                                                                                                                   

das ureigene Interesse.                                   

 

“The Kernel”

In the midst of                                                                                                                                                               

each ideal                                                                                                                                                                        

is hidden a hard kernel:                                                                                                                                                        

the vested interest.

 

“核心”

所有的理想之下                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

都埋藏著                                                                                                                                                                           

一個堅硬的核心:                                                                                                                                                             

自己的切身利益。

 

64 “Die Irritation des Tyrannen”

Ein Tyrann wundert sich,                                                                                                                                                              

wie ihn der Satiriker                                                                                                                                                     

vor Jahrhunderten schon                                                                                                                                    

verspotten konnte!

 

“The Irritation of Tyrant”

A tyrant wonders,                                                                                                                                                             

how come the satirist                                                                                                                                                 

hundreds of years ago                                                                                                                                                       

could already mock him! 

 

“暴君的困惑”

暴君感到困惑,                                                                                                                                                                    

為何諷刺家                                                                                                                                                                                    

千百年前                                                                                                                                                                       

就拿他開涮!

by the distance

between

bars?
