【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】系列一百三十一 紀弦 《上帝造人人造酒》試譯

 .
《上帝造人人造酒》
.
.
上帝造人;人造酒。
而人中之詩人,
為了讚美上帝,
不可以不喝酒。
.
上帝造了蒼蠅,也造了茉莉。
一切眾生,無不蒙受神的祝福。
所以我寫了「蒼蠅與茉莉」。
.
但是宇宙萬有,
並不全是像我一樣的效忠於上帝,
例如撒旦,其他妖怪,
以及吃人的共產主義。
所以我必須向邪惡挑戰,
舉起我的大理石的杯,
吼他一個怒吼。
.
.
《God Created Humans Humans Created Wine》
.
.
God created humans; humans created wine.
And among humans the poets,
in order to praise God,
refrain from drinking they cannot.
.
God created flies, as well as jasmine.
Graced with God's blessing, every form of life.
That's why I wrote "Flies and Jasmine".
.
Of all creatures in the universe, however,
unlike me, to God not everyone is loyal,
Satan for example, and other monsters,
as well as Communism the cannibal.
So I have to challenge the evil,
holding up my cup of marble,
howling at him a furious howl.
.
