晚安
Good Night
谢默斯•希尼
Seamus Heaney
门闩拉开,
A latch lifting, an edged cave of light
小院洞穿一片清晰的光照。
Opens across the yard. Out of the low door
他们从矮门躬身进入甜蜜的走廊,
They stoop in to the honeyed corridor,
径直穿透暗夜黑墙的隧道。
Then walk straight through the wall of the dark.
池塘、卵石、门框、台阶,
A puddle, cobble-stones, jambs and doorstep
都凝固于明亮的格调,
Are set steady in a block of brightness
直到她拖着身影跨步返回,
Till she strides in again beyond her shadows
把身后的一切全部勾销。
And cancels everything behind her.
