《我的身體是一座礦場》 餘秀華 翻譯

My body is a mine

 

Hidden within are night, snakes, burglars, and a years-old cold case. 

Exposed are morning, wild flowers, the sun, and news good enough to be on the front page.

Visceral organs, methane gas is over the limit somewhere, 

always these petty cases.

How to end a case all depends on a kidnapper’s request.

He lives in the village, smokes constantly.

This is an outdated mine, black extends indefinitely. 

Brightness had been remodeled several rounds, yet still mottled colors,

I will scream alarms before a collapse, shake a snake’s tongue.

Those people who dig coals from my heart panic and run away.

So water surges in.

Black becomes white.

Exposed are bugs’ singing, moonlight, fox’s mourning, and a years-old cold case. 

Hidden within are flames, love, and golden yellow separated by a pile of dirt.

Certainly some people retreat halfway.

Someone throws in a stone. 

Ten years later,

An echo is heard. 

 

《我的身體是一座礦場》 

 

餘秀華

 

　　隱藏著夜色，毒蛇，盜竊犯和一個經年的案件 

　　暴露著早晨，野花，太陽和一個個可以上版麵的好消息 

　　五髒六腑，哪一處的瓦斯超標 

　　總會有一些小道消息 

　　怎麽處理完全憑一個綁架者給出的條件 

　　他住在村子裏，不停地吸煙 

　　這是一座設備陳舊煤礦，黑在無限延伸 

　　光明要經過幾次改造，而且顏色不一 

　　我會在某個塌方前發出尖銳的警告，搖晃著蛇信子 

　　那些在我心髒上掏煤的人倉皇逃出 

　　水就湧進來 

　　黑就成為白 

　　袒露著蟲鳴，月光，狐狸的哀嚎和一個經年的案件 

　　隱藏著火焰，愛情，和一土之隔的金黃 

　　總有人半途而退 

　　一個人往裏麵丟了一塊石頭 

　　十年以後 

就聽到了回聲
