Anecdote of the Jar 坛子的轶事

by Wallace Stevens 作者：华莱士?史蒂文斯

I placed a jar in Tennessee, 我放了一只坛子在田纳西

And round it was, upon a hill. 圆圆的坛子，耸立在小山顶。

It made the slovenly wilderness它使这懒散的荒野

Surround that hill. 环绕着那座小山

The wilderness rose up to it, 荒野向它涌去

And sprawled around, no longer wild. 并向四周蔓延，不再野性

The jar was round upon the ground圆圆的坛子立在地上

And tall and of a port in air. 高耸如同空中的港口

It took dominion everywhere. 它统治着每一个地方

The jar was gray and bare. 这光秃秃的灰坛子

It did not give of bird or bush, 它长不出鸟儿与树丛

Like nothing else in Tennessee. 不像田纳西的其它地方
