夏日香氣

The following is my translation of a poem by 夏宇 called "你不覺得她很適合早上嗎？"


Don't You Think She Is The Right Person to The Morning?◎夏宇
　　　　　　　　 　　 Written on behalf of Yan to a Senegalese Woman

Don't you think
She is the right person to the morning?
Don't you think she is suitable for things
Such as
Running?
　
She is the right person to open the old biscuit box,
And reading the old, damp letters
She's like a cork,
Sealing a bottle of wine. Don't you think she is the right person to run around in a rush?
Over a splendid starry night.
She is the right person for strong will
She is also the right person to,.. take another one for example,
She is the right person to slip gracefully.

Don't you think she is erasable?
That kind of sketch which can be fixed over again,
However, her thumb comes out.

Don't you think she is the right person to rub?
Don't you think
She is the right person for the coming morning?

下面這首詩是夏宇的詩。


你不覺得她很適合早上嗎？　◎夏宇
　　　　　　　 　　為Yan寫給一個塞內加爾女人

你不覺得她
她很適合早上嗎？
你不覺得她很適合
譬如說
奔跑
　
她適合打開她的舊餅乾盒
讀潮濕的舊信
她像一個軟木塞
封著一瓶酒　　你不覺得她很適合匆忙奔跑
過一個燦爛的星空嗎
她適合意志
她也適合　　再舉一個例子說
她適合優美地滑倒
　
你不覺得她是可以擦掉的嗎
那種一修再修的草圖
但她的拇指浮現
　
你不認為她
她就是很適合摩擦嗎？
你不認為
她適合早上來到？
