《致新年》
W.
S. 默温
在最终如许的沉静中
你在山谷里出现
你的第一缕阳光抵落
触碰到一些高高的
没有被搅扰的叶梢
仿佛它们没有留意到
也根本不认识你
而后一只鸽子的嗓音
从远处自发地
叫醒早晨的嘘静
所以这就是你的声音
此时此地无论是否
有任何人听到,这就是
我们跟随岁月来过的地方
我们的知识不过如此
我们的希望不过如此
隐秘于我们面前
无法触及,却依旧可能
To the New Year
W.
S. Merwin
With what stillness at last
you appear in the valley
your first sunlight reaching down
to touch the tips of a few
high leaves that do not stir
as though they had not noticed
and did not know you at all
then the voice of a dove calls
from far away in itself
to the hush of the morning
so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still possible

你在山谷里出现
你的第一缕阳光抵落
触碰到一些高高的
没有被搅扰的叶梢
