htA Summer Night 試譯 ：夏夜

By Sally Ormerod

Night falls in the garden
A soft breeze rustles
The leaves on the trees

The frog creaks in the bulrushes
by the pond
And crickets chirp noisily nearly

The grass is soaked with
a sprinkling of dew
The moon comes out and
skies with an unearthly glow

Suddenly a bird
bursts into songs
then all is still again

And then , when the first glimmer of light
appears on the horizon
You can see
night coming out of a garden


黑夜籠罩著整個花園
柔和的微風沙沙作響
吹動著樹上的葉子

池塘上的青蛙
躲在浦草叢中發出咯咯聲
蟋蟀也唧唧聲和應著

顆顆晶瑩的露珠
潤濕了青草
月兒出來了
閃耀著一種神祕的光芒

突然一隻鳥
闖入這大自然之歌
然之後萬物
歸於靜止

進而
當第一道晨光
從水平線上昇起
你可以看到
黑夜已然盡了
