积雪学入门

Introduction To The Study Of Snowpack

雪很厚，厚到你
甚至会同意我们做过的梦中
已经有了最好的答案。

很厚的雪将你圈回到
人类饥饿的核心；但假如你不饿，
雪也可以是最好的玩具。

雪的乳房辽阔而冰冷——
不论你抚摸到什么，你的脑海
都逃不过一只白蚂蚁的独裁。

还是静静的观摩容易产生
比真理还净白的感觉：
有些人始终呆在雪的上面，

从未令诗的不朽迟疑过半秒种；
有些人则活在雪的下面，
靠咀嚼树根，和你保持密切的联系。
			

This snow is thick, so thick 
You are obliged to agree we did see 
Some best solutions within our dreams. 

This thick snow encircles, pushing you back 
To the core of human hunger. Yet if you don't suffer from it,
Snow can still be your best sport. 

Snow's breasts, far and wide, icy to the touch-- 
Things you have reached wouldn't 
Set your brain free from the tyranny of a white ant. 

Silent observation makes it easier
To obtain a feeling purer than truth: 
Some people opt to stay over the snow, they never

Hesitate half a second for the immortality of poetry;
Some people opt to be snowed under, 
So as to keep close contact with you by chewing roots.
			

比雪白更独奏入门

Introduction To A More Lonesome Solo Than Snow

深山之中，白色的寂静
比任何时候都更像雪的音乐——
北美的寒风，树枝的摇曳，
短暂的冬季的阳光，都加入过

它的基调。甚至回音的肩膀
也很宽，宽到你和鸽子
可以同时站上去，旁观世界之谜
偶尔也会讨教人生的回味。

要么就是，我早已在我抵达之前
就蛰居在对面；无论我们的
真相如何复杂，单纯的聆听本身
已构成一次彻底的解决。

这样的安排也许并无深意，
甚至有点随便，就好像
你，看不见你的白耳朵，
但是你能看见雪的白耳朵。
			

Deep in the mountains, white silence 
Is more like snow's music than any other moment—
The chilly wind of North America, the swaying branches,
The short sunlight of winter, has all gone 

Into its keynotes. Even the shoulders of echoes
Are wide, so wide you can stand on it
Together with some doves. Onlookers of world mysteries
May also try to taste their own lives. 

This leads to the opposite side, where I am hibernating
Even before I reach it. No matter how tangled
Our nature is, one single listening 
Can ease all things, completely. 

This plan is not diligent,
It looks casual, like what you are now:
Unable to see your own white ears,
But able to see the white ears of snow.
