路易斯·格丽克诗歌《四月》/April,汉译

四月
作者:路易斯·格丽克
大卫牛翻译:
无法统一的绝望是如我的绝望——
(没有一个人的绝望是如我的绝望——)
你在这个花园里没有空间
想象这样的事情,这里正产生
令人厌烦扩张的音符;男人
夸张地除草于整个森林,
那女人跛脚而行,拒绝改变衣服
或清洗她的头。
你设想我的关心
如果你们互相交谈?
但只有我对你当真相信
我期望两个生物(造物)更融洽
他们被谁赋予思想:如果没有那
说实在地你们会关心于交互
至少你愿意领悟
悲伤被分发着
于你们之间,全部种类,于我
认识你,深蓝(忧郁)
标记的野风信子,纯洁
于林之下紫罗兰。

April
by Louise
Glück
No one's despair
is like my despair--
You have no
place in this garden
thinking such
things, producing
the tiresome
outward signs; the man
pointedly
weeding an entire forest,
the woman
limping, refusing to change clothes
or wash her
hair.
Do you suppose I
care
if you speak to
one another?
But I mean you
to know
I expected
better of two creatures
who were given
minds: if not
that you would
actually care for each other
at least that
you would understand
grief is
distributed
between you,
among all your kind, for me
to know you, as
deep blue
marks the wild
scilla, white
the wood
violet.
