戴安 | 輕雪詩《同一件事情》中詩英譯

同一件事情
戴安 | 輕雪詩
決定做些什麼的時候夜張開了眼睛
長出手腳
在寂寞的洞口
掛上油燈
靜靜的聽
水滴和漣漪
是同一件事情
抽長的青草擦出風聲
在落石及坍塌前
進入到離開
是同一件事情
我們被緩緩運出
成分摻雜了比例失當的憂傷
將相愛及不相愛的我們
分開
變成兩件事情
時間被標上記號
時代指指點點的說了
是我的問題
現在
應該要忘記彼此了
他們不知道
不知道問題
原本就跟答案
站在一起
我在term.ptt.cc的詩版看到戴安的作品，這首《同一件事情》有種莫名的力量，讓我沉澱了許久。於是我連絡上戴安，取得他同意翻譯，並手寫了這段詩詞。

英文翻譯：
When I decided
to take action
the night opened its eyes
Stretching its limbs
to hang the lamp
at the cave entrance.
They are the same matter:
the drops and ripples
that we tranquilly hear.
In front of the collapse
and the falling rocks
They are the same matter:
the comes and goes
of sounds of windswept grasses.
Gradually transferred
love, or without love
we were separated
by that disproportionate
sorrow. Separated in-
to two matters. Time was being marked.
I was reproached
by time, saying that it’s my
crime: We shall forget.
They don’t know
and could never know
that the query should’ve stood
along with the answer.
Note from translator: I came across this beautiful poem of Ann Dai on Taiwan’s famous forum term.ptt.cc, and I reached out to her, asking if I could translate and publish the poem here.
