龚学敏诗歌《在雅安上里古镇》英译

在雅安上里古镇

韩家银子、杨家顶子、陈家谷子、张家锭子、许家女子。

——上里民谚

In the Shangli Ancient Town, Ya’an

“Han family’s silver, Yang family’s officials, Chenfamily’s millet s, Zhang family’s fists, and Xu family’s girls.” –  A folk proverb in Shangli

让词典中的茶和马一样隐秘。

平水桥的月光被标语的土地摊开。

雅鱼在铺板上，用油漆，

繁殖手绘的地图。

Let tea be as mysterious as horse in the dictionary.

The moonlight on the Pingshui Bridge is paved evenly by land of slogans.

Ya’an fish on the bed board gives birth to

Handmade maps with oil color.

买来的开阔被枫杨拴在韩宅的眼神中，

买来的解说词，像是定制的银子，

背一遍，薄一点，

让汽车睡在经济稻草的下面。

The ample space bought is fixed in the eyes of the Han mansion,

While the narration bought looks like a silver ingot,

Which gets thinner each time it’s read by someone.

To let the cars sleep under the straw of economy.

官印风干成大门腊肉一样挂着的匾。

烧红的字锻打的顶子，

戴在驿站姓杨的平安处。县志中的茶叶，

刀枪不入。

The plaque is hung on the gate as if an official seal was dried into bacon.

The official cap with red-hot characters on it

Was worn by the post station officer surnamed Yang at the safe place. The tea leaves recorded in the county annals

Cannot be pierced by any blade or spear.

陈家田中谷子的鸟鸣，叫作陈年，

酿酒，酿斯文，酿张家的皮驼子。

许家的水被马噙成茶，

上至天蓝处，

为云。

The twitters over Chen family’s millet field are time-tested

To make wine, gentility, as well as the fists of the Zhang family.

The water of the Chen family is chewed into tea by the horse,

Rises up to the blue sky,

And becomes the clouds.

下到雅安，淋透一城的妩媚。

写生的客栈走到最后。二仙桥，

把马甲披在神仙身上，

此生和彼岸，只是一枚茶纽扣的，

两种系法。

Then it falls down to Ya’an, penetrating the charms of the entire city.

The picturesque inns extend to the end. The Erxian Bridge

Puts vests on both immortals.

This life and the other shore are two ways

Of doing up a tea button.

　(备注：拳头，四川方言俗称锭子、皮驼子。)

(Notes: Fists, is commonly called Dingzi and Pituozi.)
