第二个我 | 汉诗英译
第二个我 黄国辉
镜子里有一个穿反了睡衣的我
那是我不曾见过的，自己的背影
它好像并不挺拔也没有性格
会不假思索地淹没在人群里
真的，即使我自己
也不会过多地关注它
我后退两步
有意与这背影拉开距离
我想看看它有没有佝偻着
有没有染上饱经风霜的模样
我端详它就像在端详自己
我为它掸掉肩上盘绕的一小段棉线
棉线像梦境一样飘落
我伸手接住它
它便静卧在另一个空间里
等待同样一双柔软的眼睛
我忽然有些害怕
我的背影会不会被自己灼伤
面对的和背负的一样重要
而我之背后，真的有另一个我
我想走到镜子后面
跟这个陌生人说一声
嘿！你好

The Second Me
by Huang Guohui
There is me in the mirror, wearing PJs inside out,
someone I haven’t seen before —
without a dashing or striking profile,
no question it would be swamped in any crowd.
True, even I myself
wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
I take two steps back,
deliberately keeping a distance from it,
to take a better look— to see if it has a hunchback
or if there are other worn-out signs?
I examine it the way I examine myself,
brushing off a lint on the shoulder.
The cotton thread falls like a dream
and I reach out to catch it.
It rests quietly in the other space,
waiting for a pair of gentle eyes just the same.
Suddenly I am a little frightened.
Will the auxiliary me be ravaged by my fire?
The front man is as important as the man in the back.
Indeed there is another me on the other side.
I feel the urge to go behind the mirror,
to talk to the stranger:
Hey there! Hello.
