Snow - Louis MacNiece

Snow by Louis Macneice
雪——路易斯·麦克尼斯
The room was suddenly rich and the great bay-window was spawning snow and pink roses against it soundlessly collateral and incompatible:
房间突然变得丰富，巨大的凸窗上，雪在产卵，红玫瑰倚傍着它，静静地并行，又互不相融：
World is suddener than we fancy it.
世界比我们想象的还要意外。
World is crazier and more of it than we think, incorrigibly plural.
远比我们所认为的还要疯狂，不可救药的繁复。
I peel and portion a tangerine and spit the pips and feel the drunkenness of things being various.
我把橘子一瓣瓣分开，把籽吐掉，感觉事物的醉意各自不同。
And the fire flames with a bubbling sound for world is more spiteful and gay than one supposes–
火焰发出沸腾之声，因为世界比你推测的还要恶毒和快乐。
On the tongue on the eyes on the ears in the palms of your hands–
在舌头上，在眼睛中，在耳朵里，在手中。
There is more than glass between the snow and the huge roses.
雪和大玫瑰之间不只是玻璃。
