英语名篇诵读 蜜蜂停留

Bees Stopped

蜜蜂停留

A. R. Ammons(A. R. 安蒙斯)

Bees stopped on the rock

and rubbed their headparts and wings

rested then flew on；

ants ran over the whitish greenish reddish

plants that grow flat on rocks;

and people never see

because nothing should grow on rocks；

I looked out over the lake

and beyond to the hills and trees

and nothing was moving;

so I looked closely¹

along the lakeside

under the old leaves of rushes

and around the clumps² of drygrass

and life was everywhere

so I went on sometimes whistling³.

蜜蜂停歇在岩石上，

磨磨头部擦擦翅膀，

休息片刻再飞他方；

岩石上长满花花绿绿的植被，

蚂蚁们正在叶间奔忙；

人们从不去观望，

因为石头上什么也不长；

我眺望湖泊远方，

在对面山丘树上，

没有丝毫活动迹象；

我沿着湖边仔细探访，

灯芯草的枯叶下面，

一堆堆干草旁，

处处都有生命在涌动；

于是我时不时吹起口哨

继续寻找心中多舒畅。
