平凡的日子

　　（中英文对照）

在平凡的日子里

我走在大街上

有如走在旷野上

像个君王

像个百姓

像个我

我的影子是我的影子

我的影子是百姓的影子

我的影子是君王的影子

这些日子可有可无

这些日子可无可有

就像那些话说了等于没说

一切都很重要，一切都不很重要

比如树叶从树上落了下来

比如北风将城池向南推了五公里

比如两辆轿车相撞撞成两只死兔子

有的人得意，有的人叹气

我只好既不叹气也不得意

一切都很新鲜，一切都不很新鲜

五千年前的太阳照样照在小树林上

小树长成了大树大树死了又有了小树

这是树的道理

那样this，那样that，那样不可思议

就像日历已把死亡的悬念演算得烂熟

这些日子真是平凡

下雨的时候便下了雨

刮风的时候便刮了风

头疼的时候头便疼了

抬头见天，地头见地

闭上眼睛便登上了埃菲尔铁塔

八点钟过去了当然是九点钟

如果你想凋谢那你就盛开吧

我走在大街上既不盛开也不凋谢

像个农夫，像个总统，像个nothingness

平凡真好，平凡真没劲，平凡真平凡

――谁说的？

Common-or-Garden Days

　　（义海自译）

In common-or-garden days

I walk in the street

Like a king

Like a civilian

Like an “I”

My shadow is the shadow of my own

My shadow is the shadow of a civilian’s

My shadow is the shadow of a king’s

Dispensable are these days

Indispensable are these days

Just like those uttered words are not really said

Everything is so important, everything is unimportant

Let’s say, leaves fell down from trees

Let’s say, wind blew the city southward five miles

Let’s say, cars crashed and crashed into two dead rabbits

Some are complacent, some feel frustrated

As for me, I feel neither frustrated nor complacent

Everything is so fresh, everything is not so fresh

The sun of 5000 years ago still shines upon young trees

Young trees grow into big trees and after big trees there will be even younger trees

This is the trees’ logic

So this, so that, so incredible

Just as the calendar calculates the suspense of death skillfully

These days are really common-or-garden

It rains when it rains

It is windy when it is windy

The head aches when it aches

Looking up, the sky’s there; lowering down, the earth’s there

Closing the eyes, I find myself on the top of the Eiffeil

It is of course nine after it is eight

If you want to fade, just blossom

Walking in the street, I want neither to blossom nor to fade

Like a farmer, like a president, like a nothingness

Common is good, common is boring, common is really common

Who says that?
