Heat Wave 试译(修改版)- 期待着朋友们的建言

Heat Wave 热浪
By Jane Munro / 简 曼若
Translated by 风动译

open as a house with all its doors ajar, hot
July night, a fan in the room
across the hall, earlier a few blinds rattled
but now there’s no breeze
and even in the dark the heat builds

所有的门半敞开着,闷热的
七月之夜。屋中的风扇
穿过走廊,早先的微风吹动了几片窗叶
而现在,却完全静止
甚至黑暗中,热浪还在不断地建筑

its own house—architect, carpenter—all
the trades under its belt—in your bed,
hair lifted, bare neck on cotton pillow slip, sheetless—
heat leadens you, solders you to sleep—a fixture
heat incorporates, like an awkward tub

它们自己的房子。建筑工,木匠
所有的熟练工人 - 你的床上
汗孔耸立,棉枕套上裸露的脖子,没有床单
热铅铸着你,将你焊入梦中,定格
热的聚合,像一个尴尬的澡盆

enclosing you in a brocade drop-cloth
while it lifts walls, vaporizes ceilings, strips veins—
heart surgeon, heat saws studs apart, spreads
the frame with its fingers, slows its pulsing—
heat brings in trees, a city park with swings,

把你包裹在一块罩布里,此时
它拔起墙壁,蒸煮天花板,它剥开血脉
像心脏手术,热,锯断墙骨,它的手指
在撕散着屋架,当它放缓了速度 -
穿过树林的热,让整个城市停摆在秋千上

cinnamon rolls with brown sugar and raisins,
the ancestor who gave you knock-knees, and plaster
like a baby’s skin, olive and rose—the clink of milk
bottles on the door step, throats of cream, and
a screen door by sweet peas—heat tiles you

黄糖和提子的肉桂卷,
祖先遗传的病脚,石膏
像婴儿的皮肤,橄榄和玫瑰
牛奶瓶在门槛的叮噹响,奶油的喉咙,以及
甜碗豆般串起的门帘。热,将你片片垒进

in a plush mosaic, turns the tap on full bore—
you’re in an ocean, swimming with whales,
doors angled like fins, hall limpid with jelly-fish
in spiralling constellations—fan futile, heat’s
naked now and has gathered you in its wave

华丽的马塞克,开足水阀
你与鲸鱼嘻戏在汪洋大海
倾斜的门角像鱼翅,走廊水母般清澈
旋动的星系,空转的风扇
赤裸裸的热,将你卷入它的波浪

說下前兩節。
。。。a fan in the room
across the hall, earlier a few blinds rattled
across像是指hall的另一邊。
接下來可考慮翻成:
早先有微風吹動了幾片窗葉
對應下句there's no breeze

its own house應是指heat自己的房子,即後面說heat incorporate成的fixture(固定裝置),用“它們”不好。
architect翻成建築師較好。
all the trades under its belt我的理解是heat這房子裏的各行各業的人。
awkward可考慮翻成不舒服的。

风动,

我觉得第二稿诗节之间连接的好了,语义也清楚多了。

我还是有些理解方面的不同,有时想,如果想太多可能误入歧途,不如就选词语最常用的意思,如果说得通的话。

a fan in the room
across the hall,
我想 across 就是对面的意思,因此我的理解,走廊对面的房间里...

the heat builds/its own house
同意戴玨说的,its 不是它们

all
the trades under its belt
under belt 意思是 experienced, 前面讲了盖房子的建筑师,木工,我想这里指的就是盖房子所需要的一切诸如电工、水管道工等等吧。跟你译的意思差不多。

“heat brings in trees, a city park with swings,
穿过树林的热,让整个城市停摆在秋千上”
你是不是将park 译成“停摆“?我理解这里的park 是名词,公园的意思。如果是动词,那么应该用第三人称单数 parks. 大概意思是 热带来了树,城市公园里有秋千。你再去意译吧。

“a screen door by sweet peas
甜碗豆般串起的门帘“
直译:纱门旁边有(长着/种植有)sweet peas...

先字面过一遍,你再仔细推敲。

赶着回家,急急忙忙,词不达意,请原谅。

周末愉快!
