The following is my translation of a Chinese poem written by 鄭愁予 (Zheng Chouyu).
As if The Fog Lifts 如霧起時
I came back from the sea with 22 stars,
You asked me about the journey; I laughed out loud......
As if the fog lifts,
Jngling, tinkling earrings search for the sail way in the dense hair,
The slightest breath puff the eyelids to get the light of the tower.
The equator is a wet, red trace, invisible as you smile,
The meridian is a string of indigo pearls,
Falling, as you are missing someone after departure.
I came back from the sea; you have too many wonders in the sea......
Greeting neat shells, feminine sunset clouds,
And the coral reefs that I dared not sail close to.
As if The Fog Lifts 如霧起時
I came back from the sea with 22 stars,
You asked me about the journey; I laughed out loud......
As if the fog lifts,
Jngling, tinkling earrings search for the sail way in the dense hair,
The slightest breath puff the eyelids to get the light of the tower.
The equator is a wet, red trace, invisible as you smile,
The meridian is a string of indigo pearls,
Falling, as you are missing someone after departure.
I came back from the sea; you have too many wonders in the sea......
Greeting neat shells, feminine sunset clouds,
And the coral reefs that I dared not sail close to.
下面是我試著翻譯詩人鄭愁予的詩, 「如霧起時」 。
如霧起時
我從海上來，帶回航海的二十二顆星
你問我航海的事兒，我仰天笑了……
如霧起時，
敲叮叮的耳環在濃密的髮叢找航路;
用最細最細的噓息，吹開睫毛引燈塔的光
赤道是一痕潤紅的線，你笑時不見
子午線是一串暗藍的珍珠
當你思念時即為時間的分隔而滴落
我從海上來，你有海上的珍奇太多了……
迎人的編貝，媜人的晚雲
和使我不敢輕易近航的珊瑚的礁區
如霧起時
我從海上來，帶回航海的二十二顆星
你問我航海的事兒，我仰天笑了……
如霧起時，
敲叮叮的耳環在濃密的髮叢找航路;
用最細最細的噓息，吹開睫毛引燈塔的光
赤道是一痕潤紅的線，你笑時不見
子午線是一串暗藍的珍珠
當你思念時即為時間的分隔而滴落
我從海上來，你有海上的珍奇太多了……
迎人的編貝，媜人的晚雲
和使我不敢輕易近航的珊瑚的礁區

-
The fog is lifting
-
I return from the sea after two score years or more adrift
-
You asked me my marriage vows, and i smiled .
-
The fog is lifting
-
Dangling earrings charting a course through your sea of rugged hair
-
Your sea breath, your eyelashes catching the lighthouse's glare.
-
The equator your red lip trace, your cloaked laughter
-
The meridians a drip of indigo pearls,
-
Falling, saddened by your leaving.
-
I return from the sea; your sea is too enchanting......
-
shells calling, clouds people the evening sky
-
And the coral reefs court my shyness
