史蒂文斯：两只梨的研究

adieudusk 译


I
家教小品
梨不是维奥尔琴，
裸女或瓶子。
它们不像任何别的。

II
它们是黄色的形状
由曲线构成
向底部鼓涌
它们染着红色。

III
它们不是平的表面
蜿蜒出线条。
它们是圆的
锥升向顶部。

IV
在它们的造型中
有点蓝。
一片干叶子
在枝上挂着。

V
黄色闪着亮。
它以不同的黄色闪亮，
香橼，橘子和绿色
在果皮上绽放。

VI
梨的影子
是绿衣裳的斑。
梨没有被看见
像观看到人想的那样。


Study of Two Pears

by Wallace Stevens

I
Opusculum paedagogum.
The pears are not viols,
Nudes or bottles.
They resemble nothing else.

II
They are yellow forms
Composed of curves
Bulging toward the base.
They are touched red.

III
They are not flat surfaces
Having curved outlines.
They are round
Tapering toward the top.

IV
In the way they are modelled
There are bits of blue.
A hard dry leaf hangs
From the stem.

V
The yellow glistens.
It glistens with various yellows,
Citrons, oranges and greens
Flowering over the skin.

VI
The shadows of the pears
Are blobs on the green cloth.
The pears are not seen
As the observer wills.
