  《黄色》中英文美文赏析2

  她的名字在西班牙语里是一种花

  在那个叫波多黎各的岛国上,她的父亲一直以为那种花是黄色的

  直到很多年后纽约东村的落魄诗人告诉她,那其实是一种漂亮的小红花

  那年她找了不靠谱的男友,曾经跳芭蕾显赫一时的父亲坐上了轮椅

  在波多黎各的小岛上,有让我错以为是西班牙南部海岸的黄

  沿海的小镇,蜿蜒的道路,她烦心的时候喜欢在杂货店老板的阳台上吹着海风抽烟

  我知道,她也像我一样,只是吞吐烟雾而不是呼吸

  在烟草燃烧的气息中,她的生活一点一点崩裂

  父亲受不了不能再跳舞的余生而开枪自杀

  她受不了男友和母亲宿醉缠绵,只带上一只黄色的箱子去了纽约

  对,那是她父亲光辉岁月的所在

  纽约有纽约的苦恼,很难伏下身来关注她的理想

  老板有老板的艺术感,服装设计师有服装设计师的理想

  这是所谓的美国梦吗,即便是如此不见天日的处所,也能让人闪亮出熠熠的光芒?

  我当然很高兴她最后还是坚守住了自己的理想

  人,最难得的就是,还记得自己每天都是为了做什么而醒来

  我爱那首诗,用英语读起来,听着很美,想着很沉

  我会念这首诗给你的唯一理由是

  因为你真的很烦人而我又很喜欢你

  Yellow, Color of Forgiveness

  ray for me and I'll pray for you

  ray for the wicked and the evil, too

  ray for the genius and the not so smart

  Who with their smiles still touch our hearts

  ray for those who would destroy

  All the baby girls and all the baby boys With their evil toys

  ray for the robber, pray for the thief

  ray for the loss of our belief

  ray for those who can no longer pray

  ray for the loss of another day

  My mother and my father have gone from here

  Others I've loved from yesteryear

  As I grow old and move toward sleep

  Releasing pains I've held so deep

  Deeper than the soul's regret Memories I've yet to forget

  O hope, my love, don't leave me yet

  Your lips speak softly of the light

  As I move humbly into night
