【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】夏宇 《情殺案》試譯

《情殺案》

我深怕
在我偷偷寫著你的名字的時候
突然就死了
於是
世界知道了他們不該知道的

並且以為那就是最後的
而他們自己
顯然是最了悟的

寫你的名字
只是為了擦掉
但我深怕
來不及了
於是一切就發生了

而那時
你把煙蒂按熄
從凹陷的躺椅中站起
灰藍的襯衫打著
慵懶的皺褶
在街上
閒閒的走

閒閒的走
紅燈亮了
緩緩停住─
灰藍
已經到達憂鬱的極限
為我所深深愛悅
喜歡

《A Murder of Love》

I’m so scared  

that suddenly I die

while I am writing down your name in secret

and so

the world knows what they’re not supposed to know

and think that’s final

and they themselves

obviously understand most.

Writing down your name

is only to erase it

But I’m so scared

that it’s too late

so everything just breaks out

Meanwhile

You had the cigarette quenched 

arisen from the depressed couch

The shirt in grayish blue

with languid wrinkles

hung around leisurely

on the street

Hung around leisurely

The red light’s on

Slowly stopped

Grayish blue

reaching already the limit of gloom 

is what I deeply love

adore
