【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】夏宇 《詠物》試譯

《詠物》

用筆在身體上寫字

年輕的身體

負載著生存的各種欲望

逐漸敗壞

筆呢倒是一隻不錯的筆

無神而且宿命　厭世卻又

縱欲　此刻安安靜靜

喝著杏仁茶

居然

還有一點歡喜

《Ode to Things》

Writing on a body with a pen

A young body

loaded with all kinds of desires

gradually corrupting

The pen, well, is quite good though

Atheist and fatalist        world-weary yet

wantonly  Quietly at this moment

sipping the almond tea

Surprisingly

with a little bit of hilarity
