【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.

【《生命和心灵的碎片》(1942)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            亲密与温暖几近荡然无遗。

            一如我们从未有过童年。

            坐在房间里。月色着实

            一如我们从未有过青春。

            我们不该醒来。由此

            鲜红的女人冉冉升起

            并披上绚烂金光，骚首弄姿。

            她慷慨陈词。

            她考虑到他们不太会唱。

            再说，天空碧蓝如洗，万物尽展歌喉，

            甚至为她，已然为她。她听闻

            色彩的沉思，

            快乐至极却不像从前那么快乐。

            留下来吧。聊些熟悉的事情。

【注】2011年从我第一次参与策划宾州光华中文学校春节联欢会开始，继而又主打筹募赞助，靠挖掘社会资源争取更多活动经费，不觉已连续走过13个年头，期间甭说团队成员走了一拨又一拨，就连自家孩子早在2018年从高级中文班(AP Chinese)毕业后也离开了学校，而我依旧留守这片融入中华元素的精神园地，是执着，更是信念，毕竟世上所有甘之如饴的坚持全都因为热爱。

这个星期天光华中文学校将要隆重推出2024龙年春晚，再次与你相约，精彩不容错过！
