To Kill

杀戮

I killed my first wolf
When the hair on my temples
Started to go grey.

When you have the know-how
You can kill a roe-deer
With patience and on trust.

Look at the wasps. Buzzing targets,
They dazzle the heart of the hunter.
Their hum resounds: give us a go,
Our bones are so tender.
There is only one truth,
And there are no ambiguities.

But the hunter can also be killed,
His years counted out exactly,
With the scruple and care of homework done
By a boy who secretly adores his teacher.

In this figure we can see
There is someone who knows the way,
Who is the way,
And who, like a grey wolf, can go astray.
			

我的鬓角
开始渐渐灰白时
我杀死了第一只狼。

瞧这些黄蜂。嗡嗡逼近目标，
它们眩晕了这个猎人的心。
它们的嘶嘶声在回响：让我们一展身手，
我们的骨头如此柔嫩。
只有唯一的真理，
而且毫不含糊。

但猎人也可能被杀害，
他的光阴被算准了，
是一位暗自崇拜老师的男孩
用做作业的疑虑和仔细计算的。

通过这种图景我们懂了
一定有某人了解这个定律，
定律是谁，
又是谁，像一头灰太狼，误入歧途。
