The Dance威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯

赵毅衡 译


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