【Le Monocle de Mon Oncle-V (1918)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        In the high west there burns a furious star.

        It is for fiery boys that star was set

        And for sweet-smelling virgins close to them.

        The measure of the intensity of love

        Is measure, also, of the verve of earth.

        For me, the firefly's quick, electric stroke

        Ticks tediously the time of one more year.

        And you? Remember how the crickets came

        Out of their mother grass, like little kin,

        In the pale nights, when your first imagery

        Found inklings of your bond to all that dust.

【《我叔叔的单片眼镜·之五》(1918)】

异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【红霞译】

            高高的西部燃烧着激情之星。

            那星斗伴着热血的男儿

            追逐甜美的少女。

            衡量爱情的强烈

            也用于衡量大地的神韵。

            对我来说，萤火虫闪电的亮光

            消耗掉一年又一年岁月。

            而你呢？记得蟋蟀怎样

            蹦出母亲草，像小眷灵，

            苍茫的夜色里，当你第一意象

            找到爱情与死亡之间的联系。
