【读书笔记】辛波斯卡
维斯瓦娃·辛波丝卡（Wislawa Szymborska，1923-2012），
波兰女作家，同时也是位杰出的翻译家，将许多优秀的法国诗歌翻译成波兰语，
并于1996年荣获诺贝尔文学奖。
翻译始终是中外诗歌的一大障碍。
每首诗都会有多个版本的译文，每个版本又都各有精彩。
《一见钟情》
他们彼此深信
是瞬间迸发的热情让他们相遇。
这样的确定是美丽的，
但变化无常更为美丽。
他们素未谋面，所以他们确定
彼此并无瓜葛。
但是，自街道、楼梯、大堂，传来的话语——
他们也许擦肩而过，一百万次了吧？
我想问他们是否记得——
在旋转门面对面那一刹？
或者在人群中喃喃道出的“对不起”？
或是在电话的另一端道出的“打错了”？
但是，我早已知道答案。
是的，他们并不记得。
他们会很讶异
原来缘分已经戏弄他们多年。
时机尚未成熟
变成他们的命运，
缘分将他们推近、驱离，
阻挡他们的去路，
忍住笑声，
然后，闪到一旁。
有一些迹象和信号存在，
即使他们尚无法解读。
也许在三年前
或者就在上个星期二
有某片叶子飘舞于肩与肩之间？
有东西掉了又捡了起来？
天晓得，也许是那个消失于童年灌木丛中的球？
还有事前已被触摸层层覆盖的门把和门铃。
检查完毕后并排放置的手提箱。
有一晚，也许同样的梦，
到了早晨变得模糊。
每个开始
毕竟都只是续篇，
而充满情节的书本
总是从一半开始看起。
Love at First Sight
--by Wislawa Szymborska
They're both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
Since they'd never met before, they're sure
that there'd been nothing between them.
But what's the word from the streets, staircases, hallways -
perhaps they've passed by each other a million times?
I want to ask them
if they don't remember -
a moment face to face
in some revolving door?
perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd?
a curt "wrong number" caught in the receiver?
but I know the answer.
No, they don't remember.
They'd be amazed to hear
that Chance has been toying with them
now for years.
Not quite ready yet
to become their Destiny,
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.
There were signs and signals,
even if they couldn't read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood's thicket?
There were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream,
grown hazy by morning.
Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through
《三个最奇怪的词》
陈黎 译
当我说「未来」这个词，
第一音方出即成过去。
当我说「寂静」这个词，
我打破了它。
当我说「无」这个词，
我在无中生有。
林洪亮 译
当我说出“未来”一词，
第一个音节便已成为过去。
当我说出“寂静”一词，
我就立刻打破了这种寂静。
当我说出“乌有”一词，
我就在创造一种无中生有
When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.
When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.
When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no non-being can hold.
《在一颗小星星底下》
陈黎 张芬龄 译
我为称之为必然向巧合致歉。
倘若有任何误谬之处，我向必然致歉。
但愿快乐不会因我视其为己有而生气。
但愿死者耐心包容我逐渐衰退的记忆。
我为自己分分秒秒疏漏万物向时间致歉。
我为将新欢视为初恋向旧爱致歉。
远方的战争啊，原谅我带花回家。
裂开的伤口啊，原谅我扎到手指。
我为我的小步舞曲唱片向在深渊吶喊的人致歉。
我为清晨五点仍熟睡向在火车站候车的人致歉。
被追猎的希望啊，原谅我不时大笑。
沙漠啊，原谅我未及时送上一匙水。
而你，这些年来未曾改变，始终在同一笼中，
目不转睛盯望着空中同一定点的猎鹰啊，
原谅我，虽然你已成为标本。
我为桌子的四只脚向被砍下的树木致歉。
我为简短的回答向庞大的问题致歉。
真理啊，不要太留意我。
尊严啊，请对我宽大为怀。
存在的奥秘啊，请包容我扯落了你衣裾的缝线。
灵魂啊，别谴责我偶尔才保有你。
我为自己不能无所不在向万物致歉。
我为自己无法成为每个男人和女人向所有的人致歉。
我知道在有生之年我无法找到任何理由替自己辩解，
因为我自己即是我自己的阻碍。
噢，言语，别怪我借用了沉重的字眼，
又劳心费神地使它们看似轻松。
《Under One Small Star》
My apologies to chance for calling it necessity.
My apologies to necessity if I'm mistaken, after all.
Please, don't be angry, happiness, that I take you as my due.
May my head be patient with the way my memories fade. May my dead be patient with the way my memories fade.
My apologies to time for all the world I overlook each second.
My apologies to past loves for thinking that the latest is the first.
Forgive me, distant wars, for bringing flowers home.
Forgive me, open wounds, for pricking my finger.
I apologize for my record of minuets to those who cry from the depths.
I apologize to those who wait in railway stations for being asleep today at five a.m.
Pardon me, hounded hope, for laughing from time to time.
Pardon me, deserts, that I don't rush to you bearing a spoonful of water.
And you, falcon, unchanging year after year, always in the same cage,
your gaze always fixed on the same point in space,
forgive me, even if it turns out you were stuffed.
My apologies to the felled tree for the table's four legs.
My apologies to great questions for small answers.
Truth, please don't pay me much attention.
Dignity, please be magnanimous.
Bear with me, O mystery of existence, as I pluck the occasional thread from your train.
Soul, don't take offense that I've only got you now and then.
My apologies to everything that I can't be everywhere at once.
My apologies to everyone that I can't be each woman and each man.
I know I won't be justified as long as I live,
since I myself stand in my own way.
Don't bear me ill will, speech, that I borrow weighty words,
then labor heavily so that they may seem light.
