【The Snow Man】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

            One must have a mind of winter

            To regard the frost and the boughs

            Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

            And have been cold a long time

            To behold the junipers shagged with ice,

            The spruces rough in the distant glitter

            Of the January sun; and not to think

            Of any misery in the sound of the wind,

            In the sound of a few leaves,

            Which is the sound of the land

            Full of the same wind

            That is blowing in the same bare place

            For the listener, who listens in the snow,

            And, nothing himself, beholds

            Nothing that is not there and nothing that is.

【《雪人》】

威尔士人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

                这人必有冬天的思想

                想着松树的冰霜与枝桠

                想着被积雪覆压；

                而且已受长期冰冻

                观看着柏树被冰雪弄乱，

                云杉略显粗野

                在一月阳光的遥远闪烁之中；

                不去想任何可怜的遗憾

                在风声中，落叶声中，

                那就是大地的响声

                充满同样的狂风

                正吹过同样荒凉之地

                为着倾听者吹，雪中聆听的

                完全不见自己，看见的是

                没有什么不在那里，那也什么都没有。
