译诗: 玛丽奥利弗 : 我如何走进树林

《我如何走进树林》

通常，我会独自去树林里，不带一个
朋友，他们总是又说又笑，所以
不宜同行。

我真不想让人见到我和猫鹊说话
或者拥抱黑色老橡树。我用我的方式
祷告，而你也一定有你的方式。

除此之外，我独处时可成为
无形无影。可坐在
山丘之顶，一动不动如直立之野草，
直到狐狸们漫不经心地跑过。我可以听见
玫瑰歌唱时几乎无法听到的声音。

如果你曾经与我一起走进树林
一定是我非常地
爱你

How I go to the woods

Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single
friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore
unsuitable.

I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of
praying, as you no doubt have yours.

Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit
on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds,
until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost
unhearable sound of the roses singing.

If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love
you very much.
