一首荒誕、充滿文化底蘊、又意味深長的小詩

Tonight at noon

Supermarkets will advertise 3p extra on everything

Tonight at noon

Children from happy families will be sent to live in a home

Elephants will tell each other human jokes

America will declare peace on Russia

World War I generals will sell poppies on the street on November 11th

The first daffodils of autumn will appear

When the leaves fall upwards to the trees

今天正午的晚上

超市都將促銷——每件商品漲價三元

今天正午的晚上

家庭美滿的孩子們將被送進(jìn)孤兒院

大笨象們拿人類當(dāng)笑料

美國將與蘇聯(lián)握手言和

秦王也將舍命刺靳柯

而當(dāng)落葉掉到樹梢時

水仙將在秋天綻放

Tonight at noon

Pigeons will hunt cats through city backyards

Hitler will tell us to fight on the beaches and on the landing fields

A tunnel full of water will be built under Liverpool

Pigs will be sighted flying in formation over Woolton

And Nelson will not only get his eye back but his arm as well

White Americans will demonstrate for equal rights In front of the Black house

今天正午的晚上

老鼠將在后院捉貓咪

希特勒將指揮英國人在沙灘上戰(zhàn)斗

香港將會填路造海

豬將排著隊飛過屯門的天空

楊過的右臂失而復(fù)得

白人將在黑宮游行，爭取自由平等

Girls in bikinis are moonbathing

Folksongs are being sung by real folk

Art galleries are closed to people over 21

Poets get their poems in the Top 20

There’s jobs for everybody and nobody wants them

In back alleys

everywhere teenage lovers are kissing in broad daylight

In forgotten graveyards everywhere the dead will quietly bury the living

and You will tell me you love me

Tonight at noon

比基尼女郎嗮著月光浴

涂鴉者在墻上寫滿烏鴉

高雅音樂廳禁止成年人進(jìn)入

詩集登上了暢銷書榜

政客們爭相競選瘋?cè)嗽捍参?/p>

工作唾手可得，但卻無人問津

大街小巷里

年少的戀人們在光天化日下?lián)砦?/p>

被人遺忘的墓園中，逝者將默默地把生者埋葬

只有這樣

你才會說你愛我

在今天正午的晚上
