阿依达

作者：洪烛

英译：卧龙

　　1、
　　从来就没有最美的女人
　　最美的女人在月亮上
　　月亮上的女人用她的影子
　　和我谈一场精神恋爱
　　阿依达，你离我很近，又很远
　　请望着我，笑一下！

　　阿依达，我不敢说你是最美的女人
　　却实在想不出：还有谁比你更美？

　　在这个无人称王的时代，你照样
　　如期诞生了，成为孤单的王后
　　所有人（包括我）都只能远距离地
　　爱着你，生怕迈近一步
　　就会失去……失去这千载难逢的
　　最美的女人，最美的影子

　　2、
　　这张脸，用花朵来比喻太俗！
　　即使玫瑰、水仙、丁香之类的总和
　　也比不上阿依达的一张脸

　　看到阿依达的微笑，我想
　　这个世界哪怕没有花朵
　　也不显得荒凉

　　与阿依达相比，鲜花的美
　　是那么的傻——连眼睛都不会眨……

Aida

There never is the most beautiful woman.

The most beautiful woman is on the moon.

The woman on the moon uses her shadow

To have a Platonic love affair with me

Aida, you are close to me, but also far away.

Please look at me, and smile!

Aida, I dare not say you are the most beautiful woman,

But I can’t think of anyone who is more beautiful than you.

In this time that no one's the king, you still

Born on schedule, becoming a lonesome queen.

Everyone (including me) can only remotely

Love you, afraid if one step closer,

Would lose, lose the rare meeting in a thousand years

With the most beautiful woman, the most beautiful shadow.

This face, too vulgar using flower for comparison

Even summation of rose, narcissus, clove and so on,

Also can’t match Aida’s face.

Seeing Aida’s smile, I think,

Even in this world there's no flower,

It doesn’t look desolate.

In comparison with Aida, the beauty of fresh flowers

Is so stupid——even eyes can’t blink. . .
