Canadian Wildfires over Philadelphia(加拿大山火烟熏大费城地区)

2023-06-06  National Yo-Yo Day

【Sketch of the Ultimate Politician (1947)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

         He is the final builder of the total building,

         The final dreamer of the total dream,

         Or will be. Building and dream are one.

         There is a total building and there is

         A total dream. There are words of this,

         Words, in a storm, that beat around the shapes.

         There is a storm much like the crying of the wind,

         Words that come out of us like words within,

         That have rankled for many lives and made no sound.

         He can hear them, like people on the walls,

         Running in the rises of common speech,

         Crying as that speech falls as if to fail.

         There is a building stands in a ruinous storm,

         A dream interrupted out of the past,

         From beside us, from where we have yet to live.

【《最佳政治家素描》(1947)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

             他是整栋大楼收尾的工匠，

             终极理想最后的追梦者，

             或将变成。建筑和心愿融为一体。

             整栋大楼与

             终极理想。描述同一事物，

             措辞，在暴风雨中，变幻多样。

             暴风雨酷似大风呼啸，

             听起来心口如一的话语，

             让人五味杂陈且悄无声息。

             他会倾听，就像骑墙派，

             拿捏公众演讲游刃有余，

             哀泣失言好比天塌一般。

             大楼矗立在毁灭性暴风雨之中，

             过去搁浅的理想，

             就在我们身边，还有亟待生活的地方。

【注】今年五月以来，加拿大森林山火已燎原了魁北克、卑诗、新苏格兰等三省，而这两天偏巧美国东北部海岸外出现低压系统，它将烟雾吸入包括纽约至大费城在内的地区，于是晌午过后，不祥的橙色阴霾便把太阳熏成了咸蛋黄。
