空也静作

王昌玲译

七月

阳光搬不动

一片聚集的云朵

淫雨

死皮赖脸地

纠缠着七月的黄昏

撒一张大网

在越涨越高的池塘里

打捞

一轮月

July

Sunshine cannot move

A wide stretch of gathering clouds

Excessive rains

Shamelessly

Harass the dusk of July

Casting a huge net

Into the overflowing pond

To salvage

A moon

江南

雷声轮番轰炸

闪电捅破夜的窗纸

一场雨

从预报里现身

淹过七月的肚脐眼

村庄如一叶小船

在一滴泪里

搁浅

Jiangnan

Thunder blasts again and again

Lightning pierces the window paper of night

A heavy rain

Shows up as forecasted

And reaches the navel of July

The village is like a small rowboat

Stranded

Within a tear

乌鸦

穿一身绸缎

在孔雀够不着的枝头

落脚

被街头风言风语

越抹越黑

仿佛一块飞行的木炭

体内点燃着

一盏灯

A Crow

A crow in silks and satins

Upon the high twig beyond the peacock’s reach

Perches

And gets blackened

By groundless gossips on the street

As if a flying piece of charcoal

With a lamp burning

Within

大暑

故乡顶一头雾

站在齐腰的水中

如一叶荷

倔犟地举起一片天空

一个破草帽

遮住阳光

漏掉了

一场又一场雨

Great Heat

Veiled in mist, my home village

Stands in the water up to the waist

Like a lotus leaf

Perversely holding up a stretch of sky

A worn-out straw hat

Shelters sunshine

And lets one rain after another

Seep through

夏夜

夕阳摁下开关

思念如乌云

塞满了整个夜晚

人一哭

老天也跟着哭

泪水与雨水

决口了一条堤

往事摁下葫芦浮起瓢

梦泥菩萨过河

自身难保

Summer Night

As the setting sun pushes on the switch

Longing like dark clouds

Stuffs the entire night

People shed tears

And the sky follows suit

Tears and water

Breach a levee

The moment one past event sinks

Another bobs up

The clay Buddha crossing the river

Is unsafe

香火

他们建造寺院

请一尊佛

大把大把的香火钱

塞进功德箱

变成大鱼大肉

被一口一口吃掉

佛连一口汤

都喝不上

The Burning Incense

They have built a fane

And invited a figure of Buddha

Handfuls of money for incense

Stuffed into the Merit Box

Are exchanged for abundant fish and meat

And devoured

Buddha drinks

Not even a mouthful of broth

折腾

临街的服装店

没开几天

一转眼

改头换面

成了牛肉面馆

好景不长

又摇身一变

成为小诊所

专治疑难杂症

Z-Turns

The street front clothing store

Hasn’t been open for long

Before it turns into

A beef noodles restaurant

That manages to survive several months

And then, all of a sudden transforms itself into

A clinic that claims to cure

All difficult and complicated diseases

下午

整天下午

风都搓洗着几片白云

一些树踮起脚尖

朝天上长

另一些树一头轧进水里

一个劲地往下钻

一些树是另一些树

扎下的根

我坐在池塘边

等一条鱼

上钩

The Afternoon

For the whole afternoon

The wind has been hand-laundering a few cloudlets

Some trees standing on tiptoes

Grow upward

Some other trees plunge into the water

Rooting deeper and deeper downward

Some trees are the roots

Of other trees

I squat by a pond

Waiting for a fish

To take the bait

拜佛

头磕了

香火也上了

转动经桶

唵嘛呢叭咪吽

念了一遍又一遍

佛呀

我许下的愿呢

Pray to Buddha for Help

I’ve kowtowed

I’ve burned incense

I’ve turned the prayer wheel

Murmuring myriad times

Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ

Oh, Buddha

What’s happened to the wish I’ve made?

入伏

太阳如一团红毛线

从头顶滚过

大地的锅盖上

奔跑着一群蚂蚁

蝉鸣拧干

体内残留的水分

天空火气越来越大

动不动吊起嗓门

吼上几下

雨水淹没了人间的不平

Beginning of Dog Days

The sun is like a red ball of knitting wool

That rolls overhead

Upon the pot cover of the earth

Swarms an army of ants

The cicada’s chirrup wrings dry

The remaining water within its body

The sky getting increasingly fiery

Frequently roars

At the top of its lungs

And then rain water drowns all the injustice in the human world
