2024 A Well-Sprouted Cardamom w/ Carefree(豆蔻年华无忧愁)

【Human Arrangement (1947)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Place-bound and time-bound in evening rain

        And bound by a sound which does not change,

        Except that it begins and ends,

        Begins again and ends again—

        Rain without change within or from

        Without. In this place and in this time

        And in this sound, which do not change,

        In which the rain is all one thing,

        In the sky, an imagined, wooden chair

        Is the clear-point of an edifice,

        Forced up from nothing, evening's chair,

        Blue-strutted curule, true–unreal,

        The centre of transformations that

        Transform for transformation's self,

        In a glitter that is a life, a gold

        That is a being, a will, a fate.

【《人为安排》(1947)】

华莱士·史蒂文斯“异乡人·花环”(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

                暮雨中限于地点时间

                以及毫无变化的声音，

                除了开始又结束，

                还是开始又结束——

                雨由表及里 

                毫无变化。此地此时

                此声，毫无变化，

                下雨都是一回事，

                空中想象的木椅

                是大厦的亮点，

                从无到有，晚会的背座，

                蓝柱贵人之凳，真实而虚幻，

                转换的中心

                改变转换者的自我，

                生命之光中，金色

                就是存在、意志、命运。

【注】“娉娉袅袅十三余，豆蔻梢头二月初。”这是唐代诗人杜牧《赠别·其一》中的诗句，写的是十三岁少女的轻盈与美好——娉婷袅娜的身姿，像二月初春的豆蔻枝头，嫩绿的花苞刚刚探出头来，含着露水，迎着晨光，将开未开，满是希望。

我家的湉妞，今年也正好十三岁。看着她一天天长高，从那个扎着两个小辫子、追着哥哥满院子跑的小丫头，渐渐出落成一个文静而爱笑的少女。她开始有自己的小秘密，开始在镜子前多停留几秒，开始在意自己穿什么衣服、梳什么发型。可一转身，又像小时候那样，撒娇着要妈妈抱抱，拉着哥哥问东问西。

十三岁，豆蔻梢头，含苞待放。这是人生中最美好的年华之一——既有少女的羞涩与矜持，又有孩子的天真与烂漫。湉妞，愿你慢慢长大，像二月初的豆蔻一样，在春风里静静地、美美地，开出属于自己的花。omen in Sports Day
