Times Sq, the Crossroads of the World(时代广场·世界十字路口)
2023-12-08 Official Lost and Found Day
【The Woman in Sunshine (1948)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
It is only that this warmth and movement are like
The warmth and movement of a woman.
It is not that there is any image in the air
Nor the beginning nor end of a form:
It is empty. But a woman in threadless gold
Burns us with brushings of her dress
And a dissociated abundance of being,
More definite for what she is—
Because she is disembodied,
Bearing the odors of the summer fields,
Confessing the taciturn and yet indifferent,
Invisibly clear, the only love.
—— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? —— ? ——
异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
这种温存和举止如同
女人的温存和举止。
何尝有丝毫想象的氛围
即便掐头去尾：
空白而已。但戴着无螺纹金饰的女人
激起我们强烈的情感，用她衣服的绒毛
还有存在的丰富性，
更加确定她是谁——
因为她虚幻飘渺，
带来夏日田野的芳香，
忏悔沉默却又淡然，
看不见的清澈，爱情的唯一。
【注】时代广场旧称长耕地广场(Longacre Sq)，1904年因为《纽约时报》的进驻而改名至今，于我印象最深的莫过于每年元旦除夕倒计时“大苹果”水晶球从时代广场一号大厦掉下的场景。1994—1995岁末之交，我曾现场体验过纽约客跨年夜的激情时刻，欢声笑语交织成快乐的海洋，霓虹闪烁像心跳一样充满生命和色彩，广告牌和大屏幕高耸入云，明亮的光芒象征着永恒的辉煌，仿佛这片水泥丛里的太阳永远不会陨落，而梦想总是触手可及。
