事实-洛尔娜·克罗齐-哪吒英文朗读-161105

事实

你知道蚂蚁的触角上

有四个嗅觉器官，

而雌性老鼠也有阴蒂吗？我是从

两个诗人那里学来的：一个是著名美国诗人，

另一个是生理学和物理学出身。

现在什么事都是可能的：

你知道一根草也有腿有脚吗？

这就是为什么它从不安静

而是像一个儿童在老健身房里不停地原地跑步。

你知道月亮会像猫一样

用舌头舔自己吗？它舔啊舔，直到消失

然后重新来过，带着唾液的闪光。

你知道吃大白菜的黄蝴蝶

也有脾气，而风是一个焦急的母亲吗？

每个黄昏，她站在世界透风的门廊里

喊它们回家。

FACTS

Did you know an ant has four

olfactory organs on its antennae;

the female mouse, a clitoris? This I learned

from two poets—one famous and American,

the other a student of biology and physics.

Now anything is possible:

Did you know that grass has legs and feet?

That’s why it’s never still

but runs on the spot like a child in an old gymnasium.

Did you know the moon cleans itself with a tongue

rough as a cat’s? It licks and licks until it disappears

then comes up new again, shiny with spittle.

Did you know the yellow butterflies that feed on cabbage

have a temper; the winds, a worrying mother?

Every dusk she stands in the airy doorway of the world

and calls them home.
