讓牧場暈眩的不是風，是風力發電機廣子

傍晚在旋轉

讓牧場感到暈眩的不是風

而是風力發電機。比公牛多一隻犄角

只要輕輕轉動，就可以

把落日挑下山岡。據說這些怪物

不僅折斷過盤羊的頭，還曾絞死大片烏雲

挨餓的鷹躲開了它的風輪

但沒躲開它的旋轉

為此，一向溫順的羊群

開闢出新的地盤

好像是為了我們低頭吃草

直到我們彎腰的姿勢

練得比羊更優美和謙遜

對穿透大地神經的刺

失去知覺，對野蠻習以為常

只會揮舞雙臂，大呼小叫

越來越像一排排肉體的風力發電機

而風輪靜止，草地仍充滿暈眩感

整個牧場仍是一隻巨大的風輪

傍晚仍在不停地旋轉。

WIND FARM

By Guang Zi

A whirling evening,

what dizzies the pasture is not the winds,

but the wind turbines, which

have one more horn than a bull, and as they turn gently,

they shuffle the sun behind the hills.

Some say these bewildering monsters

don』t merely chop the heads off the sheep

but also strangle great swaths of clouds.

Hungry hawks have avoided their swirling blades,

but can』t dodge their whirling backwash.

For this reason those docile sheep

move themselves to a new pasture,

bowing heads and chewing grass

as if doing it for us

until our hunched backs

also become at least as graceful and as meek as theirs,

no longer resisting the stabs from the great earth

or fighting other brutal forces.

The most we do is wave our arms and shout.

More and more we turn ourselves into human-powered generators.

Even when there is no wind and the wind turbines are at rest,

the grasslands continue to spin.

The pasture is a huge wheel as a whole,

unceasingly spinning as twilight approaches.

漢詩英譯｜讓牧場暈眩的不是風，是風力發電機

一百年來，漢語新詩的發展與外國詩歌及其翻譯的影響密不可分，但雙方的互動也始終存在不對等的問題。隨著中國當代文學的崛起，當代漢語詩歌期待在更廣闊的語境中發聲，同世界文學達成愈加豐富的交流與對話。

為進一步繁榮新時代詩歌，推動漢語詩歌走向世界，激勵本土詩人們創作出具有世界影響力的優秀作品，中國詩歌網與美國華盛頓PATHSHARERS BOOKS（出版有季刊21st Century Chinese Poetry）合作開展漢詩英譯活動。《詩刊》每期刊登的詩作及中國詩歌網「每日好詩」中的佳作，將有機會被譯成英語，刊於21st Century Chinese Poetry，並在中國詩歌網做專題展示。
