晨歌——西爾維亞·普拉斯

Love set you going like a fat gold watch.

愛將你發(fā)動，像一塊胖胖的金表。

The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your baldcry

助產(chǎn)士拍打你的腳底，光著頭你的哭喊

Took its place among the elements.

在萬物中占據(jù)一席之地。

Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival. New statue.

我們的聲音回響，將你的到來放大。新的雕像。

In a drafty museum, your nakedness

在一座通風的博物館里，你的裸露

Shadows our safety. We stand round blankly as walls.

給我們的安全蒙上陰影。我們如墻般，面無表情地圍站

I'm no more your mother

比云，我更不像你的母親

Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow

那云蒸餾出一面鏡子，映出它緩慢的消失

Effacement at the wind's hand.

在風的手中。

All night your moth-breath

整夜你如蛾般的呼吸

Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:

搖曳于平面的粉紅玫瑰間。我醒來聽到：

A far sea moves in my ear.

遠方的海潮涌于耳邊。

One cry, and I stumble from bed, cow-heavy and floral

你一哭，我從床上跌倒，像笨重的母牛

In my Victorian nightgown.

那花，在我的維多利亞睡袍里。

Your mouth opens clean as a cat's. The window square

你的嘴張開，干凈地如小貓。方形的窗

Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try

泛白，吞沒了黯淡的星星?，F(xiàn)在你試著

Your handful of notes;

交出你手中的音符;

The clear vowels rise like balloons.

清晰的元音，如氣球般上升。
