得一忘二 译
终于一个人了，
从迷你酒吧烂醉回来，
在宾馆房间
四下张望，
要找点什么乐乎我们，
这时你眼光落到
床头柜里的
基甸会圣经上，
然后让我给你读一段
《创世纪》。
如果你继续那样
穿着日光浴泳衣
绕着房间跳舞，
转动着酒店
赠送的果盘，
那用不了多久，
书页上就会布满
四个字母的词，
我就会找不到
到《创世纪》哪儿了。
Nothing On
Hugo Williams
Alone at last
and plastered from the mini-bar
we were looking around
for something to amuse us
in the hotel room
when you fell upon
the Gideon Bible
in the bedside table
and made me read to you
from the Book of Genesis.
If you carry on
dancing round the room like that
in your sun-tan swim-suit
twirling the hotel’s
complimentary fruitbowl
it won’t be long
till the page fills up
with four-letter words
and I lose my place
in the story of the Creation.
