嚎叫（2010）

make the world conform to our own views.
要阻止抱有这个念头的人
And it takes all of the force
需要我们尽我们的全力
And it takes all of the force of our own reason as well as
也需要法律机构竭尽所能
our legal institutions to defy so human an urge.
这场关于审查的争斗
The battle of censorship will not be
不会因法官大人的裁决尘埃落定
finally settled by your Honor’s decision,
但您的裁决或许会引起人们自♥由♥的 博雅的思考
but you will either add to liberal, educated thinking,
抑或由于您的裁决
or by your decision, you will add fuel
给无知火上浇油
to the fire of ignorance.
上帝说 要有光
Let there be light.
要有真诚
Let there be honesty.
敢于面对那些
Let there be no running from
不存在的道德毁灭者
non existent destroyers of morals.
要坦诚解读
Let there be honest understanding.
先生们 你们的申辩结束了吗
Gentleman, is the matter submitted?
结束了 法官大人
It is submitted, your Honor.
完全彻底的结束了
It is so submitted.
全体起立
All rise.
请就坐
Be seated.
在《嚎叫》里面有许多词语
There are a number of words used in ”Howl”
被社会上的一部分人认为
that are presently considered coarse and vulgar
是粗鄙的 低俗的
in some circles of the community,
然而在其他一些人眼里 这些却是日常用语
and in other circles, such words are in everyday use.
《嚎叫》的作者
The author of ”Howl”
之所以使用这些辞藻
has used those words because he believed that
是为了更好的刻画人物
his portrayal required them as being in character.
对于那些认为无需使用这类词语的
The people state that such words are not necessary
并且认为本诗使用别的词语
and that others would be
才是大快朵颐的精神食粮的人们
more palatable for good taste.
我的回答是 生活不能套用一个
The answer is that life is not encased in one formula
人人都步调一致的
whereby everyone acts the same
或者符合特定的模式的公式
and conforms to a particular pattern.
没有哪两个人的思想是一致的
No two persons think alike.
我们都以人的形式存在
We were all made from the same form
但是形态又不尽相同
but in different patterns.
如果我们的词典被压缩到
Would there be any freedoms of press or speech
只有乏味的 “健康”的婉辞的话
if one must reduce his vocabulary
那还有什么出版和言论自♥由♥可言
to vapid, innocuous euphemism?
作者在对待自己的作品时
An author should be real in treating his subject
应该可以自己选择措辞
and be allowed to express his thoughts
来表达自己的想法
and ideas in his own words.
在考虑这本书是不是有伤风化时
In considering material claimed to be obscene,
最好谨记这句格言
it is well to remember the motto,
“心存邪念 万物皆恶”
“Honi soit qui mal y pense”
[英王爱德华三世的侄女在舞会上袜带脱落遭人嘲笑 爱德华把袜带捡起系在自己腿上并说了这句话]
”Evil to him who evil thinks.”
言论与出版自♥由♥是一个
The freedoms of speech and press
由自♥由♥的人♥民♥组成的国家中必不可少的一部分
are inherent in a nation of free people.
无论是作为个人还是国家
These freedoms must be protected if we are to remain free,
都必须捍卫这些自♥由♥
both individually and as a nation.
因此 我得出结论 《嚎叫及其他》这本书
Therefore, I conclude that the book ”Howl and Other Poems”
对社会来说有一定的救赎意义
does have some redeeming social importance,
并非有伤风化
and I find the book is not obscene.
被告方无罪
The defendant is found not guilty.
法♥院♥判决 《嚎叫》并非有伤风化
我真正取得突破是在意识到
The crucial moment of breakthrough came when
自己创作的这首长诗
I realized how funny it would be,
有相当滑稽的地方 比如
in the middle of a long poem, I said
“他们让圣洁的摩托车手挺进肛♥门♥
“Who let themselves be fucked in the ass
还发出兴奋的大叫”
“and screamed with joy!”
而不是 痛苦的喊叫
instead of ”and screamed with pain”
这是这句诗的精妙之处
That’s the contradiction in that line.
作为一个听众你可能以为是痛苦的
An American audience would expect it to be pain and,
但说出口的却是 “兴奋的大叫”
instead, it’s ”screamed with joy!”
当然这一点是真实的
Which is really true.
100%真实
Absolutely, 100%.
接着呢 我又想到了这句
And, again, I have a line, like
“他们放纵口♥交♥ 也任由人间的六翼天使
”Who blew and were blown by those human seraphim,
和水手们舔弄自己
the sailors,
那是来自大西洋州和加勒比海的爱抚”
caresses of Atlantic and Caribbean love.”
这是我个人经历同性性行为
It was an acknowledgement of the
获得的现实快♥感♥所产生的结晶
basic reality of homosexual joy.
那确实是一次突破
That was a breakthrough in the sense of
我敢于向公众展示
public statements about
我的感觉 情感 还有态度
feelings, emotions, attitudes, you know,
那些
that…
我不想让父亲或者家人看到的东西
I wouldn’t have wanted my father or my family to see,
即使我要公诸于众时也几经犹豫
and that I even hesitated to make public.
这首诗被误读为
The poem is misinterpreted as…
宣扬同性恋的作品
a promotion of homosexuality.
其实呢 更像是在宣扬一种
ActuaIly, it’s more like a promotion of
坦然面对一切事物的态度
frankness, about any subject.
比如你有恋足癖 你就写有关脚的东西
If you’re a foot fetishist, you write about feet.
你是个股票狂人
If you’re a stock market freak,
你就可以写标准原油板块的潮起潮落
you can write about the rising sales curve erections of the Standard Oil Chart.
当有一小部分人开始
When a few people are…
坦然的在公共场合谈论同性恋时
frank about homosexuality in public,
就打破了那层无形的屏障
it breaks the ice.
从此人们可以坦然的谈论任何事情
Then people are free to be frank about anything and…
这还是有一定的社会价值的
that’s sociaily useful.
同性恋是一种状态
Homosexuality is a condition,
由于这种状态从一开始就将我异化
and because it alienated me
或者说与众不同
or set me apart from the beginning,
它更像是自我反省的催化剂
it served as a catalyst for self examination,
或者是
or…
形成我对周遭环境的详尽的认识
a detailed realization of my environment and…
以及为何其他人与众不同
the reasons why everyone else is different and
为何我与众不同的原因
why I am different.
