Facing the Gloom
translation of a poem from Shang Qin’s poetry anthology
應
用不著推窗而起
向冷冷的黑
拋出我長長的嘶喊
向冷冷的黑
拋出我長長的嘶喊
熄去室內的燈
應之以方方的黯
應之以方方的黯
— 選自商禽《商禽詩全集》
我在國立台灣大學的《創意翻譯工作坊：臺灣當代詩歌之英譯》課程中開始翻譯詩的旅程。我的老師喬直（George O’Connell ）和史春波（Diana Shi）同時也有自己的journal Pangoline House，若有興趣看老師們或是工作坊中的其他作品，歡迎參觀。
這篇作品因為後續沒有在課堂選入討論，在徵得老師同意之後，我自行編輯潤稿，並發佈到個人部落格上。
Facing the gloom
No need to open window
let out a long roar
to the darkness’ cold
let out a long roar
to the darkness’ cold
I face the gloom
with unlighted cube room
with unlighted cube room
— translated from Shang Qin (商禽) ’s poetry anthology
Is he out of desperation ? Or is he being sort of passive aggressive? I have no idea. You tell me!
I worked on the translation last year when I was working with creative writing poetry translation workshop in NTU; the workshop was led by Pangolin House editors George O’Connell and Diana Shi. This piece was not further discussed and rendered by the workshop at the time, so I refined and published it here under my own name.
For works that are collectively discussed, rendered and published, you’re welcome to have a look at the journal Pangolin House.
