【The Beginning (1948)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

    So summer comes in the end to these few stains

    And the rust and rot of the door through which she went.

    The house is empty. But here is where she sat

    To comb her dewy hair, a touchless light,

    Perplexed by its darker iridescences.

    This was the glass in which she used to look

    At the moment's being, without history,

    The self of summer perfectly perceived,

    And feel its country gayety and smile

    And be surprised and tremble, hand and lip.

    This is the chair from which she gathered up

    Her dress, the carefulest, commodious weave

    Inwoven by a weaver to twelve bells …

    The dress is lying, cast-off, on the floor.

    Now, the first tutoyers of tragedy

    Speak softly, to begin with, in the eaves.

【《開始》(1948)】

異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

            夏天終於來到她走過的

            那道略帶泥巴又腐蝕生鏽的大門。

            房子空無一人。但這個地方她坐着

            梳理露水般秀髮，沒有感覺的光亮，

            被更暗的虹彩所迷惑。

            這面鏡子她常看

            瞬間的存在，沒有來歷，

            完美感知了夏天的自我，

            體會到鄉村的歡笑

            激動得樂不可支。

            這把椅子她搭放

            裙子，手織精緻寬鬆

            編出十二個鈴鐺……

            這條裙子扔在地板上。

            現在，第一批悲劇導師

            在屋檐下開始輕聲說話。

【注】賓州光華中文學校龍年春節聯歡會辦得別開生面，不僅是一場精彩紛呈的藝術表演，更是一次弘揚國粹的文化盛宴，正如校長馬峻博士的祝辭所言：“這是我們自己的社區，自己的節目，自己的舞台，在我眼中，這就是最好的春晚。”

感謝大費城地區郭荔文、戴征、梁建傑、秦朴和蔡潮鍾等攝影大師捕捉美妙的瞬間。
