百年诗经：叶世斌 子弹【中英对照】

叶世斌

子弹

子弹离开弹膛，像一支

呼啸的雨，像一颗流星

其实，我们生命的全部根据

只是一个目标。我们为它

而来并走完我们的一生

子弹撕开阻力鸣叫着

就像我们一路喘息的声音

它和这个世界磨擦的热情

令人惶恐和悲哀（这迅速的

有去无回的飞行呵）无论

子弹和我们的经过如何

我们所能和必须到达的目标

真正的目标只是死亡

Ye Shibin

The Bullet

The bullet leaves the chamber, like

The howling rain, like a shooting star

Actually, all the basis of our life

Is a goal. We come for it and

We walk to the end of our life

The bullet rives off resistance to howl

Like our gasping all the way

The fervency it grinds with the world

Terrifying and lamentable [the fast and

No-return flying] in spite of

The bullet and our passage

The goal which we can and must reach

The real goal is only death
