 《阿富羅底之死 》
.
把希臘女神Aphrodite塞進一具殺牛機裡去　
　切成
　塊狀
把那些「美」的要素
抽出來
製成標本；然後
　　　　一小瓶
　　　　一小瓶
分門別類地陳列在古物博覽會裡，以供民眾觀賞
並且受一種教育
這就是二十世紀：我們的

《The Death of Aphrodite》
.
Have Aphrodite the Greek goddess squeezed into a cow slaughtering machine
cut into
blocks
Have those elements of "beauty"
extracted
made into specimens; then
a tiny jar
a tiny jar
displayed in a classified manner at the antiquities exposition, for the public to enjoy and see
and receive a kind of education
that's the twentieth century: of ours
