I Am a Glass of Unlimited Volume by Zhang Mo ~ 张默 《我是一只没有体积的杯子》 with English Translations

作品原文

张默 《我是一只没有体积的杯子》

站在时间的水平面上
隐隐浮着一层寒光的
你走近,它扑下
你远离,它升起
我是一只没有体积的杯子

穿过它的透明的眸子
一把抓住某些流动的液体
似乎可以瞧见,暴露在阳光下的
事事物物,除了一只没有脚的
硕大无匹的杯子之外,竟然一无所有

我欣悦,世界是如此波涛汹涌
幸好,我是一只没有体积的杯子

 

 

作品译文

 

I Am a Glass of Unlimited Volume
Zhang Mo

Standing on the face of time
A layer of cold light faintly floats
Sinking as you draw near
Rising as you move away
I am a glass of unlimited volume

Piercing its clear pupils
To grasp the moving fluid
As if to glimpse everything
Exposed under the sun’s rays
There is nothing after all
Other than a huge stemless glass

I am delighted that the world surges like waves
Fortunately, I am a glass of unlimited volume
