Self自己文章详解

不知哪个世界才是他的家乡，

Not knowing which world to call him,

他选择了这种语言，这种宗教，

He chose an arbitrary tongue and creed,

他在沙上搭起一个临时的帐篷，

Pitched an improvised tent on sand，

于是受着头上一颗小星的笼罩，

Beneath the canopy of a little star,

他开始和事物作着感情的交易：

He began his heart's commerce with things:

不知那是否确是我自己。

was that the real me?

在征途上他偶尔碰见一个偶像，

By chance on his long trek he encountered an idol,

于是变成它的膜拜者的模样，

Assumed the semblance of a worshipper,

把这些称为友，把那些称为敌，

Calling these men friends, those men enemies,

喜怒哀乐都摆到了应摆的地方，

Deploying emotions in their appropriate places,

他的生活的小店辉煌而富丽：

The little shop of his life throve:

不知那是否确是我自己。

was that the real me?

昌盛了一个时期，他就破了产，

After a spell of prosperity he went broke,

仿佛一个王朝被自己的手推翻，

As if he had toppled his own dynasty.

事物冷淡他，嘲笑他，惩罚他，

The world cold-shouldered him, ridiculed him, punished him,

但他失掉的不过是一个王冠，

And yet all he had lost was his crown.

午夜不眠时他确曾感到忧郁：

Lying awake at night he brooded:

不知那是否确是我自己。

was that the real me?

另一个世界招贴着寻人启事，

Meanwhile another world was posting bills for a missing person.

他的失踪引起了空室的惊讶，

His disappearance surprised the vacant room

那里另有一场梦等他去睡眠，

Where another dream was waiting for him to dream,

还有多少谣言都等着制造他，

And numerous rumours were ready to give him a shape

这都暗示一本未写成的传记：

Hinting at an unwritten biography:

不知那是否确是我自己。

was that the real me?
