然而
原作：Marianne Moore (美国)
叶如钢译, 2014
你曾见一枚
挣扎过的草莓
碎块相聚， 成为
刺猬和海星
为了千百籽粒
什么食物可比
苹果种籽--果实
里的果实--锁着
如弧对孪生榛果
霜能冻死，青胶
草茎上小叶片
却不能摧残
根。 它们仍在冻土
丛生。一片仙人掌
曾依附铁丝网
根朝下冒出，生长
达两尺的土深
如风茄的萝卜根
或羊角钩根，在
某些时候。 胜利
不会来临，除非
我走向胜利
葡萄藤的卷须
结打进结里
直到三十重结
上行，下行的藤条
被固定， 不晃摇
弱者战胜威胁
强者战胜自己
如此把坚毅
造就！ 那汁液在
细脉线里流动
而让樱桃变红！

Nevertheless
Marianne Moore
you've seen a strawberry
that's had a struggle; yet
was, where the fragments met,
a hedgehog or a star-
fish for the multitude
of seeds. What better food
than apple seeds - the fruit
within the fruit - locked in
like counter-curved twin
hazelnuts? Frost that kills
the little rubber-plant -
leaves of kok-sagyyz-stalks, can't
harm the roots; they still grow
in frozen ground. Once where
there was a prickley-pear -
leaf clinging to a barbed wire,
a root shot down to grow
in earth two feet below;
as carrots from mandrakes
or a ram's-horn root some-
times. Victory won't come
to me unless I go
to it; a grape tendril
ties a knot in knots till
knotted thirty times - so
the bound twig that's under-
gone and over-gone, can't stir.
The weak overcomes its
menace, the strong over-
comes itself. What is there
like fortitude! What sap
went through that little thread
to make the cherry red! |
