MOURNING MY ELDER BROTHER史春波, 乔治·奥康奈尔 译

再悼二哥杨键


After you died,
你死之後,
when the field was half plowed,
田,犁到一半的時候,
the ox collapsed
牛死了,
and the plowman shouted.
犁田人在地裡大喊一聲,
Soon villagers appeared,
村裡人循聲趕來,
bled the corpse,
把血放乾淨了,
then started cutting.
再開始分。
In forty minutes
四十分鐘後,
a whole ox gone.
一頭牛無影無蹤了。
The field remained
但它犁了一半的地,
half plowed
還在那裡,
beneath a horned new moon.
在一彎新月下邊。

After you died,
你死之後,
a magpie flew under our eaves.
一只喜鵲飛進我們家屋簷。
Eleven years and I’m still wandering,
十一年了,我還沒有脫胎換骨,
neither reborn
我還沒有把松樹種活,
nor have I planted a living pine.
等於還是流離失所,
What use if you returned?
你回來又有何用?
A leaf spins down to the yard.
一片樹葉如同你溫熱的淚打在院子裡,
I’m ashamed to face your death.
我是愧對你的死了。

After you died,
你死之後,
a blade of yellow grass stood
一根壓彎的枯草站起身來,
hopeless before the lamps of a thousand houses.
用什麼也不期待的眼神,
Amidst other grass, alone,
看見萬家燈火亮了。
or alone on the riverbank.
成群結隊時它孤身一人,

在河堤上時,
After you died,
還是孤身一人。
all this

smoky as rain on an old bridge
你死之後,
south of the Yangtze.
這些,
宛如我在江南的一座老橋上
看見的煙雨。
