UK-Crowned Bermuda w/ Quo Fata Ferunt(英属百慕大·命运之所在)
2024-08-08 International Cat Day
【Humpback Whale】
Nancy Anne Miller
You need a hump to
be in tune with a curvy
ocean, to rise like one in
Notre Dame's Cathedral.
You need a hump to let
the ocean somersault a blub-
bery body, keep weight out of
the traffic of lighter species.
You need a hump to sing
the depth's mutterings, let it
roll over, course off from
a large wagging tongue.

【《座头鲸》】
(百慕大)恩典·仁慈·米勒“磨坊主”
【红霞译】
你欲望弓背来
谐和波折的
海洋，挺拔得如同
巴黎圣母院。
你欲望弓背助
海洋翻筋斗——
肥硕的体魄，避免撞遇
质轻的物种。
你欲望弓背唱
低沉吟咏，让它
翻腾吧，歌声流自
噪舌的大嘴巴。
【注】百慕大“勇气”群岛隶属英国海外属地，由181个岛屿组成，可谓著名的离岸金融中心和避税天堂；其总督由英国政府提名并代表国王查尔斯“自由人”三世掌管内政事务，而英国则负责它的外交、国防和安全。
百慕大主岛不大，驱车一整天足以熟谙东西南北，但这里的消费成本是美国的三倍，外地游客不准开车，有格局的才笑傲大西洋沉船之都。归根结底，来此享受度假无异于体验本地的座右铭：钱包要鼓，功夫要闲，情绪要涨，命运所在！
