周四晚上
on Thursday night,
在包厘街
at the Bowery,
我们有个读书会

五花八门的 年轻的 年老的
It’s very eclectic. Young and old.
有评论家 还有出版商 应该都会有
And there’s reviewers, publishers as well, there might be.
每个人都会上台读两首诗
And everyone that goes on stage reads two poems.
所以你需要准备两首你喜欢的诗
So you have to prepare two poems that you like.

There’s dancing afterwards, with poets.
会有个派对
You know, there’s gonna be a party,

I wrote it sort of quickly.
-我想听听你的想法 -好
– I’d love to hear your thoughts. – Ok.
美丽的蝴蝶让我着迷
Mesmerise me, butterfly
挥动双翼 张张合合
Forcing wings open, shut
漫无目的的向前飞翔
Thrust with purpose not known to me
不会轻易飞到你的草地
Not expert in your grasses
蘑菇用毒
In poison
作为保护色伪装自己
Mushrooms camouflage deliverance
今天的花♥园♥里满是木精灵
Today the garden teems with wood sprites
闪烁着蓝♥光♥
Flashing blue
变成白色
Now white
在视线的边缘
At the edge of seeing
很好
It’s good.
-真的 -真的 真好
– Yeah? – Yeah, that was very cool.
你的作品中 这不是我最爱的 但挺好的
It’s not my favourite that you’ve written, but it’s nice.
你知道吗 刚开始
You know, at the beginning,
你来上课的时候 我并没有注意到你
when you came into the class, I didn’t notice you at first.
有那么多人 你懂的
There’s so many people, you know, and…
而且很长一段时间你都很安静
Also, you were very quiet for a while.
然后你开始展示你的作品
Then you started to present your work.
但是我必须说 别误会
But, I mean, I must say, don’t take this wrong,
但一开始 你的作品
but at the beginning, your work was…
非常典型 你知道吗
was very typical, you know?
就像所有的
Like, all the…
所有的比喻都非常 有点老生常谈
you know, all the metaphors were very… kind of commonplace,
这很正常 因为你只是在摸索
which is normal, because you’re just experimenting
这一切的本质
with the nature of all of this.
但当你读到安娜那首诗时
But when you read your poem about Anna,
然后我想 一个诗人诞生了
then, I thought, “OK, there is a poet here.”
从那以后我就
And from then on, I was just…
我不知道
I don’t know.
我想知道你到底怎么了
I wonder what… what’s going on with you.
你在跟安娜约会吗
Are you going out with Anna?
不
No.
你喜欢女人吗
Do you like women?
偶尔
Occasionally.
跟我来
Hey. Come with me.
-他没事吧 -当然没事
– Is he OK? – Yeah! Of course.
我们进去吧
Yeah, let’s go in here.
周四那天
So, on Thursday,
我们被邀请去一个地方
we’ve been invited to a place
诗人在舞台上 就像这样
where poets read their poems on stage, like this,
面对观众朗诵他们的诗歌♥
in front of an audience.
其中一些可能相当普通 但是
Some of them will probably be pretty mediocre, but…
我想问你愿不愿意读一些你的诗
I was wondering if you might wanna read a few of yours.
你觉得呢
What do you think?
我愿意
Yeah, I’d like to.
我认为这是一个很好的机会
I think it’d be a great opportunity.
要不你就站在这里
Actually, why don’t you just stand up here?
对 就像一个舞台
Yeah. Like a stage.
你能给我读一下你的诗吗
Can you show me how you’d say one of your poems?
“安娜”怎么样
Maybe “Anna”?
安娜很漂亮
Anna’s beautiful
于我而言 已足够漂亮
Beautiful enough for me
你知道里面有什么吗
You know what’s in there?
-有什么 -心
– What? – Your heart.
你能试着用这里去读吗
Can you try saying it more from there?
用心去读
From your heart?
安娜很漂亮
Anna’s beautiful
于我而言 已足够漂亮
Beautiful enough for me
阳光洒在她的黄色屋顶上

So, on Thursday we’ll do “Anna” and…
-“公牛”怎么样 -好啊

I think we have a young Mozart.
他很有天赋 罗伊先生
He’s gifted, Mr Roy.
他写诗的水平远远地
He writes poetry on a level that is far…
超出了他的年龄
beyond his age.
你和桑杰谈过了吗
Have you talked to Sanjay?
-哪个桑杰 -你兄弟 那个作家
– Sanjay who? – Your brother, the writer.
作家
The writer?
一个月没跟他说话了
Haven’t talked to him in a month.
我明白了 他应该给你打电♥话♥的

你有什么事吗 丽萨
What can I do for you, Lisa?
莫扎特
Mozart…

They massaged his tired hands.
他弹了钢琴
They fed him candy…
他们就给他糖吃
while he played the piano.
吉米却没有这些待遇
And Jimmy doesn’t have that.
我不是说他该被宠坏 但他确实需要支持
I’m not saying he should be spoiled, but he does need support.
贝卡 虽然人很好
And Becca… she’s nice,
但是她对他的成长没什么好处
but she’s not a good influence on him.
为什么
Why?
我觉得她把他当傻孩子一样对待
Well, I think she treats him like any stupid child.
她像跟他说话就像跟小狗一样
She talks to him like a puppy dog.
我应该告诉你
And I should tell you she’s often late
她接送他经常迟到
picking him up and dropping him off.
-真的吗 -上周她迟到了一小时
– Is that true? – Yes. Last week, she was an hour late…
