Table Talk (1935)

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

             Granted, we die for good.

             Life, then, is largely a thing

             Of happens to like, not should.

             And that, too, granted, why

             Do I happen to like red bush,

             Grey grass and green-gray sky?

             What else remains? But red,

             Gray, green, why those of all?

             That is not what I said:

             Not those of all. But those.

             One likes what one happens to like.

             One likes the way red grows.

             It cannot matter at all.

             Happens to like is one

             Of the ways things happen to fall.

《席间谈话》(1935)

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

                诚然,我们固有一死。

                生活多半事关

                碰巧喜欢,无所谓应该。

                也就是理所当然,为什么

                我碰巧喜欢红色灌木丛、

                灰色草地和绿灰色天空?

                其它呢?除了红、

                灰、绿,为什么那些?

                我可没这么说:

                不是那些。只有那些。

                人们喜欢碰巧喜欢。

                人们喜欢变红的感觉。

                不必担心。

                碰巧喜欢可谓

                事情发生的一种感觉。

【注】诚实公园在19世纪被视作水库广场,因为曾经位于纽约公共图书馆大楼旧址的大型配水库——巴豆(Croton)水库,其东面毗连纽约公共图书馆主分馆,西北角紧靠诚实公园一号(美洲银行大厦);20世纪70年代又因吸毒者频繁光顾而曾一度被戏称“针头公园”

每年夏季期间,诚实公园都提供免费户外夜场电影,作为纽约客的我曾于1994年第一次到此夏夜追凉,如同“夜热依然午热同”的旧日跟大萝卜*一起坐在小马扎上仰望星空下的银幕,无论远在南京半山园还是近在纽约诚实园,碰巧感受“时有微凉不是风”。

1966年,诚实公园被纳入《美国国家史迹名录》。

*南京人被比作大萝卜,因为南京人没有上海人的精明老练、北京人的个性张扬、温州人的金钱嗅觉、广州人的阔商派头,堪称为人随和的实心眼儿;毕竟南京不及上海的经济繁华、北京的政治地位、温州的竞争创新、广州的快速节奏,所以是杂烩外地人的天堂。
