翻译Jane Kenyon简•凯尼恩-High water大水
High water
by Jane Kenyon
Eight days of rain; the ground refuses more. My neighbors are morose at the village store.
I’m sick of holding still, sick of indoors, so I walk through the heavy-headed grasses to watch the river reach for the bridge’s wooden planks, bending the lithe swamp maples that grow along the banks.
Nothing but trouble comes to mind as I lean over the rusty iron rail. I know of plenty, in detail, that is not my own. I nudge a pebble over the edge. It drops with a thunk into the water— dark, voluminous, and clear, and moving headlong away from here.
大水
简·凯尼恩
下了八天雨：
大地拒绝吸收。
在乡村杂货店里我的邻居们都很郁闷。
我讨厌无事可做，也厌烦待在屋中，
于是我步行穿过头部沉重的青草
去看河水涨到了
桥梁木制底板的高度，
河水也弄弯了沿着河岸
生长的柔弱的湿地枫树。
当我靠在生锈的铁质栏杆
别无它物唯有烦恼进入脑中。
我知道一大堆，细说起来，那也不是
我的烦恼。我弄掉边缘处的一个卵石。
沉闷一声落入水中——
幽深，巨大，清澈的水流
自此奔流向前。
