哨兵·《水雉》（双语）

　　水雉

　　哨兵

　　仲夏时分早就过了众鸟的孵化期，但在洪湖

　　湿地保护区，一只水雉

　　却趴在芡实上，捂实那窝鸟蛋

　　横住了我的去途。整个傍晚

　　我们就这样默不做声，彼此

　　对峙，似友

　　更像死敌。时光

　　就此倒流，湖面上的空寂

　　和薄雾，仿佛战争过后的惨景

　　我期待着它能快点飞走，好让我

　　赶在天黑前，打探清楚

　　七十年前水牢的位置。但水雉

　　却堵在独木舟前，神态安详

　　镇定，丝毫不亚于

　　那些受刑领死的先哲

　　Jacana

　　Shao Bing

　　In midsummer, far past the roosting season, in the protected

　　wetlands of Lake Hong, a Jacana

　　broods over some gorgon fruit, hovering over them like eggs

　　in the middle of my path. Through the night

　　the Jacana and I maintain our silence, facing

　　off, like companions

　　but more like mortal enemies. Time

　　reverses its flow, the solitude on the lake surface and

　　the mist, seem like the tragic aftermath of war

　　I expect the Jacana to fly away, so that I can

　　beat sundown, on my quest to find out where those watery jails

　　used to hail. But the Jacana

　　blocks the canoe, its manner serene

　　unperturbed, no less than

　　those ancient sages on the eve of martyrdom
