蜜蜂之死-帕斯坦-祭祀中文朗读-0807

蜜蜂之死
琳达·帕斯坦


蜜蜂的传记
是以蜂蜜写就的
现在
它正在接近完结。


很快那属于夏天的
嗡鸣的单声圣歌
将要被终结
从此再无声息；


那些还未被点燃的花朵
将要最后一次
暴烈燃烧
而后消隐。 
 
而那个今早
揉着自己被叮刺的脚踝的男孩
将要回看
他短暂的泪水


带着某种
有点像悔恨的感情，
忆起那琥珀色的
蜜之滋味。


The Death of the Bee
BY LINDA PASTAN
The biography of the bee
is written in honey
and is drawing
to a close.
 
Soon the buzzing
plainchant of summer
will be silenced
for good;
 
the flowers, unkindled
will blaze
one last time
and go out.
 
And the boy nursing
his stung ankle this morning
will look back
at his brief tears
 
with something
like regret,
remembering the amber
taste of honey.
