诗歌: 钟声里的景色 (崔米娜)
The Voices of Bells
By Tian Yuan (Translated by Naomi Cui)
West Lake
Verdant hills
Like a wall, unbroken,
Protect the lake’s surface
From trespassing winds
Of any direction.
A horse-drawn carriage.
In it the Emperor of Song,
Arrives, desperate, and he
Settles in this new land:
This land of the Wu tongue.
Both Wuyue and Bianliang
Now marked deeply by
Horse hooves and carriage wheels.
The bald-headed monks of Lingyin Temple
—Pure and transcendental they be—
Knock on bells which echo and
Reverberate all throughout
The valleys: A final lament.
A bird flits through my mind
With every quiver its feathers fall,
Catkins floating atop the lake,
Little clouds that eventually drown.
West Lake, O West Lake!
You are a radiant bronze mirror
Polished to great beauty by
Dongpo’s very own hand.
The ferryman’s boat songs
Sweep across the water
1No more.
The boat tether ropes
Snake like the Grand Canal;
West Lake’s own ribbon dance
Connecting South and North.
West Lake, O West Lake!
You are the dainty curve of a Jiangnan beauty’s waist.
Because of you the people speak with sweet tongues,
And the voices of bells, sweeter still.
钟声里的景色
田 原
西 湖
绵亘的青山
像一堵墙
阻挡着四面来风
侵犯湖面
一辆辆马车
运来了宋朝
皇帝的绝望
在吴音里着床
蹄印和车辙
深深地刻印在
吴越和汴梁
灵隐寺的光头和尚
——纯粹的超现实主义者
他们撞响的钟声
回荡在山谷
成为绝响
穿越想像的流莺
2将羽毛抖落湖畔
飘飞的柳絮
化作白云沉入湖底
西湖啊，西湖
你是被东坡之手
轻轻擦净的
一面铜镜
划桨人的船歌
掠过水面
失传
拴船的缆绳
变成蜿蜒的运河
仿佛西湖襟飘带舞
连接南方与北方
西湖啊，西湖
你是江南女子柔情的腰身
这里的方言因你湿润
钟声里的景色也因你迷人
