【译诗】

《一些树》（Some Trees） 【美】约翰·阿什贝利（1927—2017）

这些树令人惊异：每株

都连接着一个邻居，

仿佛言语是一场静止的表演。

为机缘所调遣

相遇今晨像远离

这世界却又与之

相宜，你与我

突然成为树木试着

告诉我们是的那样：

他们那里仅只的存在

就葆有意蕴；而随即

我们会触碰，相爱，解释。

很高兴并没有创制过

如此宜丽，我们被包围着：

一份沉寂已充满喧闹，

一面帆布画上面微笑

的合唱队浮现出来，一个冬晨。

置于那一束迷离的光，且移动，

我们的日子披着此般的含蓄

这些腔调好似他们自身的防御。

【原诗】

Some Trees John Ashbery

These are amazing: each Joining a neighbor, as though speech Were a still performance. Arranging by chance

To meet as far this morning From the world as agreeing With it, you and I Are suddenly what the trees try

To tell us we are: That their merely being there Means something; that soon We may touch, love, explain.

And glad not to have invented Some comeliness, we are surrounded: A silence already filled with noises, A canvas on which emerges

A chorus of smiles, a winter morning. Place in a puzzling light, and moving, Our days put on such reticence These accents seem their own defense.
