在美华酒家 At the China Chef
在美华酒家
薇尔达•莫吕斯 作
非马 译
她独自坐着, 外套拥抱着
她的肩膀,啜着茶,挑着
干贝草菇,白米饭,
不知道她为什么又来到
这里,在这里她同约翰
吃过浸泡在糖醋里的
虾,在这里她教过他
如何使用筷子。在她吃的时候
她翻动《好管家》的书页,试着
阅读这个月中篇小说的
另一节。定必是个悲惨故事,
侍者想,看到她的眼泪。
选译自《四川虾与幸运饼:来自一个中国饭馆的诗》,薇尔达•莫吕斯,RWG 出版社, 2008年
作者薇尔达•莫吕斯(Wilda Morris)是伊利诺州诗人协会前任会长及芝加哥诗人与赞助者协会现任会长。作品经常得奖。她也是我们诗人工作坊的联系人,对诗歌活动非常热心积极。美华酒家是本地一间中国餐馆,我在阿冈国家研究所工作时,几乎每星期五都风雪无阻地和同组的同事们去那边午餐聊天。
At the China Chef
She sits alone, jacket hugging
her shoulders, sipping tea, picking
at scallops with straw mushrooms,
white rice, wondering why she came
here again, here where she and John
dined on shrimp drenched in sweet
and sour sauce, where she taught him
to hold chopsticks. As she eats, she turns
pages in Good Housekeeping, tries
to read another paragraph of this month's
novella. Must be a sad story,
the waiter thinks, seeing her tears.
From Szechwan Shrimp & Fortune Cookies: Poems from a Chinese Restaurant, Wilda Morris, RWG Press, 2008
Wilda Morris, an award-winning poet, is the President of Poets & Patrons of Chicago and past president of the Illinois State Poetry Society.

非马老师新年快乐!
又来学习典型的美国当代诗:在诗人不动声色的叙事中抒情。 |
