现代诗二首(双语)
/程家惠
1、口罩
黑白蓝紫赤橙黄绿
是今春最迷人的标记
带上口罩:
小男孩都成了铜墙铁壁
小女孩又有了自己更多的秘密
女士更能凸显双眼的魅力
男士都有打劫银行的气质
老人一个比一个神秘
老天爷不在乎哪个能否防疫
一切微笑都被封闭
掩盖的多是泪水的痕迹。
1. Mask
Black and white, blue, purple, red, orange, yellow and green
It's the most fascinating sign of this spring.
Wearings the mask:
Every little boy becomes the wall of bronze and iron;
Every little girl has more secrets of her own;
Every lady has her charming eyes more highlighted;
Every man is equipped with the temperament for bank robbery;
Among the old, one looks more mysterious than the other.
God doesn't care which one can really protect us;
What it seals are all smiles
And What it covers are mostly the traces of tears.
2、吃饭
饭前,餐桌静悄悄
上面闲坐着几个张着大嘴的空碗,
旁边还躺着几双懒洋洋的筷条
忽然,厨房传来
老妈那惊天动地的呼叫:
“吃饭啰!”
有从床上的被窝里钻出来的;
有从电脑的键盘上弹出来的;
有从烟雾缭绕的客厅飘然而至的;
最后一位从洗手间里姗姗来迟。
读过本科的老大夹起空心菜
咕哝道:这可能是化肥种出来的!
读过研究生的老二夹起一块猪肉
咕哝道:这很可能是添加剂养大的!
读过博士的老三夹起炒番茄
咕哝道:这一定是转基因的!
老妈不声不响地从座椅上站了起来
把桌上所有的菜都一一撤回厨房
最后端来了半碗水,说道:
这回你们放心吃吧!
碗里的半碗水和半碗空气
绝对没有转基因,没有化肥,
也没有添加剂,
但别忘了,都先带上口罩防疫!
2.Dinner
Before dinner, quiet is the table
On which idly sit some empty bowls with mouths wide open,
Next to them lie several pairs of lazy chopsticks
All of a sudden, from the kitchen
Comes the mother's earthshaking call:
"Time for Dinner!"
Someone comes fresh out of the bed;
Someone pops up from the computer keyboard;
Someone descends from the smoky living room;
The last one emerges late from the bathroom.
The first child with bachelor 's degree picks up the water spinach,
Muttering: this might have grown with fertilizer!
The second with master 's degree picks up a piece of pork
Mumbling: The pig could have been raised with additives!
The third with doctor 's degree picks up the fried tomatoes
Grunting: This must have been genetically modified!
The mother rises from her seat in silence
Taking all the dishes back to the kitchen.
Finally, she brings back half a bowl of water and says:
Don't worry for the food now!
Half water and half air in this bowl
Absolutely have nothing of GM, or fertilizer,
Or additives,
But first remember to put on your antiepidemic mask!
