英漢對照|托馬斯詩選：心的氣候進程

A process in the weather of the heart

A process in the weather of the heart

Turns damp to dry; the golden shot

Storms in the freezing tomb.

A weather in the quarter of the veins

Turns night to day; blood in their suns

Lights up the living worm.

A process in the eye forwarns

The bones of blindness; and the womb

Drives in a death as life leaks out.

A darkness in the weather of the eye

Is half its light; the fathomed sea

Breaks on unangled land.

The seed that makes a forest of the loin

Forks half its fruit; and half drops down,

Slow in a sleeping wind.

A weather in the flesh and bone

Is damp and dry; the quick and dead

Move like two ghosts before the eye.

A process in the weather of the world

Turns ghost to ghost; each mothered child

Sits in their double shade.

A process blows the moon into the sun,

Pulls down the shabby curtains of the skin;

And the heart gives up its dead.

心的氣候進程

心的氣候進程

由潮變干;金色的炮彈

在冰封的墓穴里怒吼。

四分之一血脈里的氣候

變黑夜為白晝;太陽下的血

點燃活生生的蠕蟲。

眼中的進程

預警盲目的骨頭;而子宮

隨生命脫泄而駛?cè)胨劳觥?/p>

眼中氣候里的黑暗

一半是光;深深的海洋

拍打棱角光滑的堤岸。

種子在恥骨區(qū)，打造一片森林

叉開一半的果實;另一半墜落，

順沉睡的風緩緩而落。

肉體和骨骼里的氣候

又潮又干;生者和死者

像兩個幽靈在眼前游蕩。

世界的氣候進程

變幽靈為幽靈;每位受寵的孩子

坐在雙重的陰影里。

月光吹入陽光的進程，

扯下了皮膚那襤褸的簾幕;

而心放棄死亡。
