我我我

 


MY-NESS

 by Czeslaw Milosz

 

"My parents, my husband, my brother, my sister."

I am listening in a cafeteria at breakfast.

The women's voices rustle, fulfill themselves

In a ritual no doubt necessary.

I glance sidelong at their moving lips

And I delight in being here on earth

For one more moment, with them, here on earth,

To celebrate our tiny, tiny my-ness.

 

『我爸媽 我老公 我哥 我妹』

我在餐廳裡豎起耳朵聆聽

三姑六婆的聲音此起彼落

這樣的儀式 無庸置疑 是必要的

我偷瞄他們移動的雙唇

很開心能夠在這裡

與他們在此時此刻

我來我往 大肆慶祝

 

 

 

每一個『我』

不管有多渺小

都是值得大肆慶祝的
