The Three Oddest Words
Wislawa Szymborska
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.
Translated by S. Baranczak & C. Cavanagh
👆🏻立即找了英译版本来看,真的太妙!
其实更想看懂原文
因为就我这水平来看,英译和中译已经有了差别
但不妨碍我觉得这首诗真的太妙了
英译最喜欢那句I destroy it.
中译最喜欢那句无中生有
