【Farewell to Florida·III (1935)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
I hated the weathery yawl from which the pools
Disclosed the sea floor and the wilderness
Of waving weeds. I hated the vivid blooms
Curled over the shadowless hut, the rust and bones,
The trees likes bones and the leaves half sand, half sun.
To stand here on the deck in the dark and say
Farewell and to know that that land is forever gone
And that she will not follow in any word
Or look, nor ever again in thought, except
That I loved her once… Farewell. Go on, high ship.

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
我讨厌雨打双桅船让其水潭
呈现海底蛮荒之地
杂草随波漂荡。我讨厌鲜艳的花卉
蜷缩在没有阴影的茅屋，满处锈菌形如枯槁，
树木像骨头而树叶一半像沙子，一半像阳光。
黑暗中去甲板上说声
告辞并意识到那片地从此消失
而且她没打算谈起
或者说，再也不想，只是
我曾爱过她……别了。往前开，高帆船。
【注】久住大费城西北地区的华裔子弟恐怕都熟悉金城、蜀苑、郭夫人、担担食府、品味、成都、聚友坊、功夫、梅婷、点心工坊、龙园、八八面馆、来来、来来兄弟等中餐酒家，逢年过节招待宾客的时候更是跟着父母亲轮番光顾此地，如今迈进大学的孩子们已逐渐培养出自己的生活格调，“斋必变食，居必迁坐”。显然，对于厮守故地的家长们来说，迎合子女成长的最好方式之一就是投其所好。
记得1994年初访波士顿(意译“小村庄”)时，我曾在南部海港区尝试过“合法海鲜店”的鱼虾蟹贝，它的座右铭——“不新鲜便不合法！”(If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!)象征着食材时令与生猛，这也是圣灵降临的国殇节长周末我们选中这家旗舰店的缘由。
