分类: 非马的诗及著作 |
诗中所引诗句来自她诗集中一首叫<幸运饼>的诗。有一次她同朋友在中国饭店吃饭,饭後侍者送上幸运饼,她打开一看里面没有签语,便请侍者再拿一个来,结果还是没有。侍者还想再送上一个,她说不用了, 「我是个幸运者 ,我的运气无限,充满了选择。」
FORTUNE COOKIE & LUNAR CALENDAR
I'm the lucky one, I claim.
My fortune's open, full of choices.
-- Fortune Cookie, Wilda Morris
Yes, you're very lucky indeed.
Your fortune's open, your future every day
will be full of laughter, love, joy, friendship,
health, happiness, peace, and prosperity...
like today.
According to my lunar calendar,
today is a good date for meeting friends,
a good date for starting a courtship,
a good date for getting married,
a good date for groundbreaking,
a good date for building a house,
a good date for taking in a pet,
and an especially good date
for writing love poetry.
If you don't believe me,
read for yourself the message from the lunar calendar
for this magnificent date reserved especially for you.
After having eaten so many red hot Szechwan shrimps,
cracked open so many crispy tasty lucky fortune cookies,
and written a whole book of sweet and sour poems
at the China Chef,
I'm sure you can read Chinese,
can't you?

我是个幸运者,我宣称。
我的运气无限,充满了选择。
--- <幸运饼>, 薇尔达 ․莫吕斯
是的,你的确非常幸运。
你的运气无限,你未来的每个日子
都将充满笑丶爱丶欢愉丶友谊丶
健康丶快乐丶和睦丶与幸福。。。
像今天一样。
根据我的日历,
今天这日子
宜会友,
宜纳彩,
宜结婚,
宜动土,
宜建屋,
宜纳畜,
更宜写情诗。
如果你不相信,
你可自己去读读这日历上
特地为你准备好的这个日子的信息。
在「中国厨师饭店」里吃过那麽多麻辣四川虾,
剥开过那麽多又香又脆的幸运饼,
写过整整的一本甜酸诗集,
你当然看得懂中文,
不是吗?
