床笫之事


张永修 r> 总有一人要舍弃婚前抱的抱枕
枕头要睡过才知合不合心头意
床褥软硬承载腰背的压力与酸楚
空调时冷时热,被单不要又不可以

Bedtime Matters
Zhang Yongxiu
英译:薛振堃

There's always a man who has to give up the pillow he held before marriage.
You have to sleep on the pillow to know if it suits your heart's desire.
The softness of the mattress carries the pressure and pain of the back.
The air conditioner is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and it's not possible to not want the sheets.

谁在远方哭泣


——仿痖弦<歌>

/张永修

谁在远方喧闹,那么混乱
粉红马驰过铁塔

是谁将人当棋子摆布
那些花边新闻,裸得黑幕重重

(请给世界此刻一些平静)

谁在远方哭泣,炮火轰隆
黑骑士匆匆逃出生天
蒙面信使骑着彩虹
过河穿桥,那是乌云黑恶魔跟着来

(请给世界此刻一些希望)

Who's crying in the distance
--Recitation Ya Hsien poem

Who is clamoring in the distance, so confused
Pink horses galloping past the pylons
Who's playing people like pawns
The lace news,
Naked and dark
(Give the world a moment of peace)

Who's crying in the distance, the guns are blazing
The Black Knight escapes in a hurry
The masked messenger rides a rainbow
Across the river and across the bridge, it's the dark clouds and the dark demons that follow.
(Please give the world some hope at this time)
