【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


【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】夏宇 《莫扎特的降E大調》試譯

莫札特降E大調

我轉過身。
感覺禮拜一新刮好的臉頰輕輕
擦過左邊的肩膀

最最親愛的局部
最最重要的現在


Mozart Eb Major

I turn around.
Feel the cheek freshly shaven on Monday gently
brush the left shoulder

The ever most darling part

The ever most important presence

【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】夏宇 《秋天的哀愁》試譯

《秋天的哀愁》

完全不愛了的那人坐在對面看我
像空的寶特瓶不易回收消滅困難



《Autumn Sorrow》

The one I love no more sitting opposite looking at me 
Like an empty PET bottle difficult to recycle hard to annihilate
