在新房中第一次爱的行动

The first act of love in a new house

并不私密。爱着彼此

is not private. Loving each other

我们只是漫不经心地注意着门和镜子。

we are half-aware of door and mirror.

我们的狂喜包括床边的椅子，

Our ecstasy includes the bedside chair,

那着陆时的气流。

the air from the landing.

街灯和榆树在墙上演绎着叶的影子

Street-lamp and elm utter leaves on walls

仿佛是人类房间中的处女秀。它们的舌头

as in no room ever. Theirs is the tongue

翻译着我们的舌头缠绵的语言。它们的意思

our tongues join in translating. Their message

很明确：今晚你们不能忽视窗外的世界。

is clear: tonight you cannot ignore

the world at the window.

所以我们在看一座城的另类角度中

做爱。我们宣示拥有家具和树木的视角，

So we love in the knowledge of a city

和它们分享床铺，把我俩的生命

at a different angle. And sharing

融入它们已经形成的框架中。

our bed with furniture and tree we claim

their perspective, merging our lives here

in their established frame.
