試譯：〈伴父親晚坐，一九七七〉 弗朗茨·賴特【Sitting Up Late With My Father, 1977－Franz Wright】

〈伴父親晚坐，一九七七〉　弗朗茨·賴特（試譯：淺白）
 
玄冬下眾星的白燄──
他五十歲時想甚麼
我終於知道。
 
他想，故那雪暴就會來了
而我將得康癒；
我們會好好一談
 
當你長成
而我已死去
 
晢白、遙渺、翡翠綠的星燄，在玄冬裏。

Sitting Up Late With My Father, 1977
By Franz Wright (from his 2003 collection Walking to Martha's Vineyard)
 
White fire of winter stars— 
what he's thinking at fifty 
I finally know. 
 
He thinks, so the blizzards will come
and I will be healed;
we'll talk 
 
when you grow up 
and I am dead. 
 
White distant emerald fire of winter stars.
