STUDY IN CHINA GLOBAL (SCG)作品原文
沈从文 《颂》
说是总有那么一天，
你的身体成了我极熟的地方，
那转湾抹角，那小阜平冈；
一草一木我全知道清清楚楚，
虽在黑暗里我也不至于迷途。
如今这一天居然来了。
我嗅惯着了你身上的香味，
如同吃惯了樱桃的竹雀；
辨得出樱桃香味。
樱桃与桑葚以及地莓味道的不同，
虽然这竹雀并不曾吃过
桑葚与地莓也明白的。
你是一枝柳；
有风时是动，无风时是动：
但在大风摇你撼你一阵过后，
你再也不能动了。
我思量永远是风，是你的风。
作品译文
Ode
Shen T’sung Wen
It was told a day must come
When your body would be my most familiar haunt,
Its turns and twists, flat planes, small elevations;
Intimate with each vidual tree and plant,
Even in the dark I would not lose my way.
Now comes the day.
I am used to sniff the perfume of your body
As the snipe is used to gobble down the cherry:
It can discern the fragrance of the cherry.
Mulberry, strawberry, cherry have different flavours:
A snipe that never has tasted the former two
Is quite aware of this subtle difference.
A willow branch you are.
You sway in the breeze; when it’s hushed you also sway.
But after the high wind shakes you thoroughly
You will not stir.
I long to be wind for ever, be your wind.
