海子诗歌英译 海上

海上

所有的日子都是海上的日子

穷苦的渔夫

肉疙瘩像一卷笨拙的绳索

在波浪上展开

想抓住远方

闪闪发亮的东西

其实那只是太阳的假笑

他抓住的只是几块会腐烂的木板：

房屋、船和棺材

成群游来鱼的脊背

无始无终

只有关于青春的说法

一触即断

1984.6

On the Sea

All days are days on the sea

Poor fisherman

His body knot resembles a reel of clumsy rope

Stretching out over waves

Reaching for the distant place

Where things glitter

In truth those things are only smirk of the sun

He catches no more than pieces of wood that doomed to rot:

House, boat and coffin

Coming in flock are fish's backs

No beginning and no end

Only tales about the youth

Break with one stroke
