镜中的女孩

文/樊功生

好几个时辰了

还在梳妆台前

一遍又一遍

一层又一层

认真的像个小学生

越看越年轻

终于 电话响了...

当年的大明星

光艳照人

从埃及王后

到奥菲丽娅...

哪次没轮上她？

一定要画成最美的公主

让那个色迷迷的导演再次掉泪

缓缓下车

目不转睛

从容自信

步入这个熟悉的摄影棚：

— 后悔不，约翰？

     这次让我演什么美人？

— 哇 我的上帝！

     好一个妆

     正好 去演那个巫婆...

注：音乐剧《Sunset Boulevard》观后。

Girl in the Mirror

By Ken Fan

Quite a few hours now,

One hue after another,

And One layer after another.

So serious, like a school kid,

Indeed younger than never.

Suddenly, the phone rings...

A superstar once,

Like sunshine on stages.

From Cleopatra

To Ophelia,

All the leading goddesses. 

Got to become another princess this time, 

And witness again that lustful look from the director.

Stepping off the car gracefully,

Full of confidence, 

Into this filming set. 

"Regret now, John? 

What beauty will you bring me to play this time?" 

"Wow, my goodness! 

Alright, we actually need a witch!"
