也來趕鳥事，根據俺的心情，跟哥兒們來對鳥

立哥，苗哥，和其他哥姐們，無意看你們寫的文章，不妨也來湊熱鬧。

談詩韻，俺不懂，談打油，略小一二。

俺覺得這首詩很美，有點淒清，傷懷，更多的浪漫，畫麵感很強，所以根據俺腦裏的畫麵，俺的譯作如下。押韻的事，就放過我。我這能是路過打油——打打醬油：

Ornithology in a World of Flux.

It was only a bird call at evening, unidentified,
As I came from the spring with water, across the rocky back-pasture;
But so still I stood sky above was not stiller than sky in pail-water.

Years pass, all places and faces fade, some people have died,
And I stand in a far land, the evening still, and am at last sure
That I miss more that stillness at bird-call than some things
that were to fail later.

 

紛亂世間的鳥類學

 

那是一聲夜晚鳥鳴，無從辯清

我來自甘泉，帶著我的春水，

穿過亂石的屋後草莽

我定定地站立，水靜天卻不靜

 

經年過去，事逝人非，故人已去

而我卻在遠方，

孤立寂靜夜晚，終於明了

我思鳥鳴空靜，

更甚流逝凡塵

 

最後一個字，總覺不押，找不到合適的詞代替，就先這麽上了。
