不以為惜
【美】凱蒂·彼得森? ?陳子弘 譯
我會從他所有性格描述中剝離
他善良的故事：他的坦誠
相言，就是他覺得我自私的那次闯参。
或圣誕節(jié)我送他音樂，他送我石頭悲立。
花崗石絢麗的綠色格調(diào)鹿寨，可以辨識但卻
找不到恒久的圖案，但我又何處安置薪夕？
所以它含有情意脚草。他是放在他屋子中。
有人給我說原献，珍貴的東西不要留待后用馏慨。

THE ECONOMY
Katie Peterson
I will take the story of his kindness and sequester it
from all the other stories of his character: his bluntness
of speech, the time he thought me selfish.
Or the Christmas I gave him music, and he gave me a stone.
Gorgeous strains of green in the granite, eye could search
for a pattern forever and never find it, but where would I put it?
So it is with friendship. He kept it in his house.
I was told, Do not store up what’s precious.
