2024 Yuletide Merriment @ Mid-Town, NYC(纽约中城·圣诞喜乐)
2024-12-14 National Screwdriver (Classic Cocktail) Day
【Dolls (1913-1914?)】
Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)
The thought of Eve, within me, is a doll
That does what I desire, as, to perplex,
With apple-buds, the husband in her sire.
There's a pious caliph, now, who prays and sees
A vermeil cheek. He is half-conscious of
The quaint seduction of a scented veil.
Playing with dolls? A solid game, greybeards.
Think of the cherubim and seraphim,
And of Another, whom I must not name.

【《玩偶》(1913-1914?)】
异乡人?史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)
【红霞译】
在我心中，夏娃才是
做我想做的玩偶，一如，
用苹果花蕾疑惑她父亲一家之主。
现在，虔诚的继承者祈祷并看出
绯红的脸颊。他下意识到
带香味面纱的古怪引诱。
耍玩偶？实打实的游戏，老头子们。
想起小天使和炽天使，
还有另一位，我不必说出名字。
【注】今年纽约的圣诞气氛平凡无奇，缺了去年萨克斯“剪刀”第五大道百货店1的灯光秀——金色梦想转盘2，就像中国春节没了鞭炮，感觉年俗的味道变淡。倒是即将重返荣耀的川普大厦门庭若市，大改过去几年冷落的景象，激励人们提前进入一个永恒的维度：圣诞节既不是一段时间，也不是一个季节，而是一种心境。
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. —John Calvin Coolidge Jr., the 30th President of the US (1923-1929)
