【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】卞之琳《無題》之五 試譯

《無題》之五

我在散步中感謝

襟眼是有用的，

因為是空的，

因為可以簪一朵水花。

我在簪花中恍然

世界是空的，

因為是有用的，

因為它容了你的款步。

《Untitled》(5)

During the walk I am grateful,

That the lapel-eye is useful,

Because of its emptiness,

Because through it a watery flower can be pinned.

From the flower pin I realize suddenly

That the world is empty,

Because of its usefulness,

Because it has your deliberate steps accommodated.
