我們是它的一部分。並非客人。
它是我們,或包含我們之物?
它怎麽可能是其他東西,它隻是一種理念,
某物在序數i的脊椎上
搖搖欲墜?它優雅
但故作矜持。當我們指點時
它避開我們手指的禿端。我們
四處尋找它:
在聖經和帶寬裏,綻放著
像一個來自海底的傷口。
然而它抗拒真假之辨。
我們的熱情不能令它信服,它無法
平息。它像某些小說:
篇幅浩瀚卻無從讀解。
(林木譯)
It & Co. By Tracy K. Smith
We are a part of It. Not guests.
Is It us, or what contains us?
How can It be anything but an idea,
Something teetering on the spine
Of the number i? It is elegant
But coy. It avoids the blunt ends
Of our fingers as we point. We
Have gone looking for It everywhere:
In Bibles and bandwidth, blooming
Like a wound from the ocean floor.
Still, It resists the matter of false vs. real.
Unconvinced by our zeal, It is un-
Appeasable. It is like some novels:
Vast and unreadable.
譯得真好:)
