Excerpts From Literati CalligraphyFuga Yang / Ho Ching Chwang / Nan Chu 译

“书法诗”节选Ho Ching Chwang


Ⅰ.
1.

雪霸*羞涩
The flavor of Shei-pa is
如云遮阳畔
as shy as the sun half hiding behind clouds.
茶汤似娇女孩
Yes, she is a delicate girl.
初识藏语
Hiding words during the first meeting,
多重回韵
Scent lingers after you left.


2.
Ⅱ.
我愚蠢的心到了

冬天特别笨
My foolish heart is
春天到了或许会
getting even worse in Winter
好一点 拜托
Now Spring's coming.

Maybe it will get better please
3.

冲了一杯咖啡
Ⅲ.
看着你的名字

喝水,你看着
I brewed the coffee,
窗子,吃茶
looked at your name and drank the water

You're gazing out at the window while
4.
having your tea
草莓冰淇淋

百米快跑
Ⅳ.
不知急着送自己

给谁的嘴巴
The strawberry ice cream

runs, runs, runs
5.
May I know
朗朗晴空
to whose mouth are you rushing to?
艳艳花簇

猫步叠叠
Ⅴ.
狗语旺旺

Shine shine the sky
6.
Bright bright the flowers
今晨下了第一场
The cat walks step by step
春雨,像绿叶上
The dog says "ruff ruff"
的露水丢掉引力

将自己腾空
Ⅵ.


7.
This morning, we met
鸟并不带便当
with the first rain fall of the spring,
牠眺视土地
like dews, on a green leaf,
田野是牠的饭
lost gravity then
牠波音飞行
somersaulted into the air.
空姐是牠的菜

Ⅶ.
8.

我爱自己也爱她
The bird carries no lunch box
爱她多过自己 我会死
By observing the land,
爱自己多过她 也会死
he orders the field to be the main course
但是不会
While navigating like a Boeing
选择不爱
the stewardess is his cup of tea


*注:“雪霸”指产于台湾中北部雪霸山区(雪山和大霸尖山)的乌龙茶。
Ⅷ.

I love myself and her too
More on her, I would die
More on myself, I would die too
But I will not
choose not to love
