稀粥颂Ode to the Thin Congee

 

多年来每日一顿稀粥。在它的清淡与

For years I have a bowl of
thin congee every day. Between its plainness and

嶙峋之间，在若有若无的餐中低语之间

coarseness，between the indiscernible whispers at table

 

我埋头坐在桌边。听雨点击打玻璃和桉叶

Im sitting here，looking
down. Listening to the rain drops striking glass panels and eucalyptus leaves

这只是一个习惯。是的，一个漫无目的的习惯

Its just a habit. Yes，a random habit of no purpose

 

小时候在稀粥中我们滚铁环

With this congee，we rolled iron hoops when we were children

看飞转的陀螺发呆，躲避旷野的闷雷

stared blankly at a
spinning top，and escaped
muffled thunders in the wilderness

 

我们冒雨在荒冈筑起

In the rain we built on the
desolate hill

父亲的坟头，我们继承他的习惯又

our fathers tomb. We inherited his habit and then

 

重回这餐桌边。像溪水提在桶中

returned to this table.
Like a brook now carried in a barrel

已无当年之怒——有时，我们为这种清淡发抖

it no longer has its rage
of early years—Sometimes，we tremble for its plainness这里面再无秘诀可言了？我听到雨点

So no more secret in all
this?I heard，before the
rain drops

击打桉叶之前，一些东西正起身离去

struck the leaves，some things were rising to leave

 

它映着我碗中的宽袍大袖，和

It mirrors the loose robe
and voluminous sleeves in my bowl，and

渐已灰白的双鬓。我的脸。我们的脸

my graying hair at the
temples. My face. Our faces

 

在裂帛般晚霞下弥漫的

In the diffuse narrow
streets and remote alleys

偏街和小巷。我坐在这里。这清淡远在拒绝之先

like torn silk immersed in
sunset glow，I am sitting
here. This plainness far precedes a rejection

 

 

 

寒江帖Cold River Post

 

笔头烂去

Brush nib rotted

谈什么万古愁

What eonian sorrow to talk
about

 

也不必谈什么峭壁的逻辑

No need to discuss the
logics of cliffs either

都不如迎头一棒

Nothing compares to the
headon blow with a stick

 

我们渺小

We are insignificant

但仍会战栗

but will still shudder

这战栗穿过雪中城镇、松林、田埂一路绵延而来

This shudder sweeps through
towns，pine woods and ridges in
the snow

这战栗让我们得以与江水并立

elevating us to stand side
by side with the river

 

在大水上绘下往昔的雪山和狮子。在大水上

On the vast water，draw snow mountains，lions of the past. On the vast water

绘下今日的我们：

draw ourselves of today：

一群弃婴和

a herd of deserted infants
and

浪花一样无声卷起的舌头

silently twisted tongues
like spindrifts

在大水上胡乱写几个斗大字

On the vast water，scribble down a few gigantic words

 

随它散去

Let it disperse

浩浩荡荡

immensely and infinitely
