当狗看着我们的时候,它在想什么呢?美国桂冠诗人比利·柯林斯用想象展现了两个性格完全不同的狗的内心世界。这两首关于狗的诗,一首深情,一首幽默。
第一首诗《狗对主人的心迹》,描述的是一只心思十分细腻的狗,对主人充满了眷恋。
As young as I look, I amgrowing older faster than he.
Seven to one is the ratio,they tend to say.
Whatever the number, I will pass him one day and take the lead, the way I do on our walks in the woods, and if this ever manages to cross his mind, it would be the sweetest shadow I have ever cast on snow or grass.
看起来我比他年轻
可我却会更快地变老
他们说,我的一年
等于他们的七年
我的生命怎么也会比他
更早结束,
就像曾经在林中的漫步,
我总是走在他的前头
愿他会记得那雪地或草地上的身影
是我最甜蜜的回忆
第二首诗《亡灵》,说的是一只亡灵狗回来吐槽主人,整首诗从头吐到尾,连主人家的草坪都没放过。
I am the dog you put to sleep,as you like to call the needle of oblivion, come back to tell you this simple thing: I never liked you.When I licked your face, I thought of biting off your nose.When I watched you toweling yourself dry, I wanted to leap and unman you with a snap.I resented the way you moved,your lack of animal grace, the way you would sit in a chair to eat, a napkin on your lap, a knife in your hand.I would have run away but I was too weak, a trick you taught me while I was learning to sit and heel and,greatest of insults, shake hands without a hand.I admit the sight of the leash would excite me, but only because it meant I was about to smell things you had never touched.You do not want to believe this, but I have no reason to lie: I hated the car, hated the rubber toys, disliked your friends, and worse, your relatives.The jingling of my tags drove me mad.You always scratched me in the wrong placeAll I ever wanted from you was food and water in my bowls.While you slept, I watched you breathe as the moon rose in the sky.It took all of my strength not to raise my head and howl.Now, I am free of the collar, free of the yellow raincoat, monogrammed sweater, the absurdity of your lawn, and that is all you need to know about this place, except what you already supposed and are glad it did not happen sooner, that everyone here can read and write, the dogs in poetry, the cats and all the others in prose.
你用那无忧针
让我长眠
可我偏要回来
跟你说我有多恨你
我舔过你的脸,可我实际上想咬下你的鼻子
我看过你用毛巾擦拭身子,可我实际上想咬下你的命根子
我讨厌看你走路的样子,一点也没有我们动物的优雅
你吃饭总得坐着
腿上还非要铺一块餐巾
手里没有刀就没法儿吃东西
要不是我身体越来越糟
我早就会弃你而去
我才不要跟你学那些没用得把戏
坐下、跟随
最侮辱我的,
是让我用没有手的爪子去握手
我得承认,看见狗绳子会让我兴奋,
那意味着我可以去闻那些你最讨厌的味道
你永远也不会相信,
我讨厌你的车
我讨厌橡胶玩具
我讨厌你的朋友
我最最讨厌你的亲戚
我快被脖子上的铃铛搞疯了
你连给我挠痒都挠不对地方
除了食物和水,我真的对你别无所求
每当你入睡,我听着你的呼吸,看着窗外升起的月亮
我得憋屈着自己,不能像狼一样起身长嚎
现在好了
我不用再戴那项圈
不用再穿那黄色的雨衣
不再穿那带着字母的套头衫
不用去你那块一点也不自然的草坪
这就是我要跟你说的一切
你也许已经知道
你也许巴望着晚点知道
猫会散文,狗会做诗
每个动物都有文化
