一度有一个震动

Once there was a shock

在它的后面拖了条长长的发光的彗星尾。

that left behind a long, shimmering comet tail.

它使我们留在屋内。它使电视的画面模糊。

It keeps us inside. It makes the TV pictures snowy.

它凝结成电话线上的冷滴。

It settles in cold drops on the telephone wires.

你还是可以在冬日下踩着雪屐慢慢

One can still go slowly on skis in the winter sun

滑过还有几片叶子的丛林。

through brush where a few leaves hang on.

它们有点像旧电话簿上撕下的纸页。

They resemble pages torn from old telephone directories.

名字为寒冷所吞噬。

Names swallowed by the cold.

能感到心跳仍是一桩美丽的事

It is still beautiful to hear the heart beat

但常常影子似乎比躯体本身还真实。

but often the shadow seems more real than the body.

武士看起来无足轻重

The samurai looks insignificant

在他黑龙的盔甲前面。

beside his armor of black dragon scales.
