【双语】北岛·《中秋节》 祝中秋节快乐！

中秋节

Moon Festival

北岛

Bei Dao

含果核的情人

Lovers holding pits in their mouths

许愿，互相愉悦

make vows and delight in each other

直到从水下

till the underwater infant

潜望父母的婴儿

periscopes his parents

诞生

and is born

那不速之客敲我的

an uninvited guest knocks at my

门，带着深入

door, determined to go deep

事物内部的决心

into the interior of things

树在鼓掌

the trees applaud

喂，请等等，满月

wait a minute, the full moon

和计划让我烦恼

and this plan are making me nervous

我的手翻飞在

my hand fluttering

含义不明的信上

over the obscure implications of the letter

让我在黑暗里

let me sit in the dark

多坐一会儿，好像

a while longer, like

坐在朋友的心中

sitting on a friend’s heart

这城市如冰海上

the city a burning deck

燃烧的甲板

on the frozen sea

得救？是的，得救

can it be saved? It must be saved

水龙头一滴一滴

the faucet drip-drop drip-drop

哀悼着源泉

mourns the reservoir
