生死戀杨键

THE PACT BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH史春波, 乔治·奥康奈尔 译


一個人死後的生活
When someone dies,
是活人對他的回憶……
the living remember.
當他死去很久以後,
Much later her mirror
他用過的鏡子開口說話了,
opens its mouth to speak,
他坐過的椅子喃喃低語了,
his chair starts to murmur,
連小路也在回想著他的腳步。
even the paths recall their steps.

在窗外,
Beyond the window,
緩緩的落日,
a slow sunset
是他慣用的語調。
acquires their habitual tone.
一個活人的生活,
Thus the living abide
是對死人的回憶……
in terms of the departed.

在過了很久以後,
And so in time
活人的語調,動作,
does the manner, the motion
跟死去的人一樣了。
of the living
begin to resemble the dead.
