古玩夜市 王一萍

没有去过的人深入不了内核

一个人是不被识货的物什

两个人甚好

三个人像是赝品

那边喜欢叫卖于妇孺

这边若不沉静

被挖出或被抛弃的铁、铜、器物……

会不会重新隐身于黑暗或地下

过世的红唇、长发；兵器、酒樽俯首贴地面

那个私人珍藏被众人触碰眉须

她的容颜衰败于哪条走过的道

像一个人，在来时一路的丢盔弃甲

选自《诗刊》

Antique Night Market

by Wang Yiping

If you haven’t been here, you have no way

of getting into the heart of it.

Going alone won’t let you see what’s what.

Two people are perfect.

A group of three looks unauthentic.

One place is happy to peddle to women and children.

The other place, if one does not stay calm,

those iron and copper and utensils, recently unearthed or cast out,

may have to be reburied or return underground.

Red lipsticks, and long hair of the deceased,

weapons and wine cups, every item kowtow on the ground.

A personal favorite is being touched on the face by everyone,

during one of the journeys her beauty began to fade,

quite like the one coming, busy losing his helmet and armor.

Translated by Duck Yard Lyricists
