美丽的蓝色古代诗（汉诗英译蓝色草原）

蓝色草原 李 南

驶往克什克腾旗腹部

茫茫白雪中

我们把大青山、五彩山统称为雪山

把达里诺尔湖叫做冰湖

把乌兰布统草原叫做雪原。

一位朋友说他见过草原上

奔跑的银狐

比闪电还要快。

另一位说，他只见过一次

蓝色的乌兰布统草原

关于这些草原上的奇事

我是既信，又不信。

Blue Grassland

by Li Nan

In a car across the Mongolian Hexigten Banner* hinterland,

with snow flurries in every direction,

we call the Big Blue and the Polychrome collectively as the Snow Mountain,

call Dalinur Lake the Ice Lake,

and call Ulan-Butong grassland the Snow Plain.

A friend among us says he once saw

a silver fox on the grassland, running

faster than the lightning.

Another friend says he saw only once

a blue Ulan-Butong grassland.

To me, those wonderments on the grassland,

are believable, and unbelievable.

Translator’s note:

Hexigten Banner is a region in Inner Mongolia, China.
