【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】鄭愁予《自畫相》試譯

《自畫相》

坐在湖邊   在湖面上畫天

畫晴日迎客

白雲之暖聚

畫長啄鳥在雲中撥弄

噙出鐘聲如波環

畫睡蓮如初醒新漆的屋舍

門前立着三色旗

畫自己走入湖水

蕭髮爽然如一管洗淨的彩筆

畫晴日送客

白雲之消散

《Self Portrait》

Sitting by the lakeside, on the lake surface I paint the sky

Paint the sun welcoming its guests

The warm gathering of the clouds

Paint the long-beaked birds fiddling in the cloud

Chirping out jingles like rings of wave

Paint a sleeping lotus like a freshly-painted house newly awake

Standing in front of its door, the three-colored flag

Paint myself walking into the lake

Elegant hair bright like a painting brush cleansed

Paint the sun farewelling its guests

The dispersing of the clouds
