【The Poems of Our Climate - I (1942)】

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

        Clear water in a brilliant bowl,

        Pink and white carnations. The light

        In the room more like a snowy air,

        Reflecting snow. A newly-fallen snow

        At the end of winter when afternoons return.

        Pink and white carnations – one desires

        So much more than that. The day itself

        Is simplified: a bowl of white,

        Cold, a cold porcelain, low and round,

        With nothing more than the carnations there.

【《我們的傾向組詩·之一》(1942)】

異鄉人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒)

【紅霞譯】

            絢麗的碗中盛着清水，

            粉妝白晰的康乃馨。光線

            在房間裡近似雪花般的空氣，

            反射着雪。剛下的新雪

            重又出現在冬末的下午。

            粉妝白晰的康乃馨——人的欲望

            遠不止於此。時日本身

            無外乎：一碗白色、

            清涼、冷脆、扁圓、

            除了康乃馨別無其它。
