【Gray Room (1917)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

    Although you sit in a room that is gray,

    Except for the silver

    Of the straw-paper,

    And pick

    At your pale white gown;

    Or lift one of the green beads

    Of your necklace,

    To let it fall;

    Or gaze at your green fan

    Printed with the red branches of a red willow;

    Or, with one finger,

    Move the leaf in the bowl--

    The leaf that has fallen from the branches of the forsythia

    Beside you …

    What is all this?

    I know how furiously your heart is beating.

【《灰色房子(1917)》】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            你虽然坐在灰色房子里，

            但除了银色

            空心纸管，

            不是扯拉

            淡白色长裙；

            就是抓起一颗青色串珠

            从项链上，

            任其坠下；

            再则凝视绿色风扇

            印有红柳的赤色枝条；

            或者，用一根指手，

            拨动碗中的叶子——

            金钟花杆掉落的叶子

            围绕身旁……

            到底怎么啦？

            我知道你心跳得有多剧烈。
