布鲁盖尔 10 的名画,《节日》,
In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess ,
舞蹈者转圈,转圈,再次
the dancers go round, they go round and
转圈,而风笛、号角以及
around, the squeal and the blare and the
提琴,尖叫、镗鞳忽又啭鸣
tweedle of bagpipes, a bugle and fiddles
扭着腰肢(腰圆得像他们
tipping their bellies, (round as the thick
吞咽淡酒用的厚玻璃杯)。
sided glasses whose wash they impound)
臀部和身体扭得失去平衡
their hips and their bellies off balance
却又旋过身。踢踏、摇摆
to turn them. Kicking and rolling about
在市集上晃着屁股,这些
the Fair Grounds, swinging their butts, those
腿肚一定很结实才能支撑
shanks must be sound to bear up under such
如此欢腾狂跃的舞蹈,就像
rollicking measures, prance as they dance
