【Debris of Life and Mind (1942)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

    There is so little that is close and warm.

    It is as if we were never children.

    Sit in the room. It is true in the moonlight

    That it is as if we had never been young.

    We ought not to be awake. It is from this

    That a bright red woman will be rising

    And, standing in violent golds, will brush her hair.

    She will speak thoughtfully the words of a line.

    She will think about them not quite able to sing.

    Besides, when the sky is so blue, things sing themselves,

    Even for her, already for her. She will listen

    And feel that her color is a meditation,

    The most gay and yet not so gay as it was.

    Stay here. Speak of familiar things a while.

【《生命和心靈的碎片》(1942)】

異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

            親密與溫暖幾近蕩然無遺。

            一如我們從未有過童年。

            坐在房間裡。月色着實

            一如我們從未有過青春。

            我們不該醒來。由此

            鮮紅的女人冉冉升起

            並披上絢爛金光，騷首弄姿。

            她慷慨陳詞。

            她考慮到他們不太會唱。

            再說，天空碧藍如洗，萬物盡展歌喉，

            甚至為她，已然為她。她聽聞

            色彩的沉思，

            快樂至極卻不像從前那麼快樂。

            留下來吧。聊些熟悉的事情。

【注】2011年從我第一次參與策劃賓州光華中文學校春節聯歡會開始，繼而又主打籌募贊助，靠挖掘社會資源爭取更多活動經費，不覺已連續走過13個年頭，期間甭說團隊成員走了一撥又一撥，就連自家孩子早在2018年從高級中文班(AP Chinese)畢業後也離開了學校，而我依舊留守這片融入中華元素的精神園地，是執着，更是信念，畢竟世上所有甘之如飴的堅持全都因為熱愛。

這個星期天光華中文學校將要隆重推出2024龍年春晚，再次與你相約，精彩不容錯過！
