文化有根 創意是伴 Bridging Creativity
在那個暴風雨肆虐的新年清晨
他是我在林中遇見的唯一一人;
乍看,五十碼開外,我不能分辨出
那奇怪的三角架有幾分像人。他的
身體水平地彎曲,被一端的雙腿
和另一端的耙子同等地支撐著:
他就這樣休息,他的手推車側面
像頭豬,而相比之下,他不像個人。
而當我看見彎腰的是一位老人
我的腦海裏突然浮現男孩子們
這樣彎腰時玩的遊戲:跳背遊戲,
又叫飛越襪帶,也叫蛙跳①。他聽見
腳步聲越來越近就驀然挺直身子;
他的頭如烏龜的頭在斗篷下轉動;
還沒等我祝願他“新年快樂”他就
禮貌地拿出口中沒點燃的煙斗,
他將把頭向上傾斜地擡起,咕噥著——
樹木在咆哮,我盡力聽大概聽見——
“新年快樂,但願新年也能趕快來”,
此時我闊步走過,而他忙著耙落葉。
譯註:“跳背遊戲(High-cockolorum)”、“飛越襪帶(Fly-the-garter)”和“蛙跳(Leap-frog)”指的都是從彎腰的人身上跳過去的遊戲,英國人喜歡穿長襪,彎腰時會露出長襪及襪帶,因而從彎腰的人身上越過去也叫“飛越襪帶”,“High-cockolorum”一詞在查爾斯·狄更斯的小說《霧都孤兒》(Oliver Twist)中出現過。
