梅文奋（Mai Văn Phấn)

郭一鸣汉译

郭一鸣 (Guo Yiming - Quách Nhất Minh)

紧闭的双眼

闭上眼睛，世界似乎未被污染。周围纯净的空间呈网状展开。我们看到童年的自己在教堂里手持明亮的蜡烛。烛光充盈着眼眶，在葱郁的树叶中，填补着空洞而不动的缝隙。闭上眼睛，森林就像一座花园。藤茎、蕨类和野草呈现出巨大古树的形状。针叶形成一个巨大的树冠。土蜂、豪猪、松鼠和公牛都是相似的形状……我闭着眼睛一动不动地呆了很久。尽管我的预感已经警告过我，但它们还是在寻找线索，煽风点火，惶恐不安……闭着眼睛，闭上眼睛，我们可以在正义和清晰的光线中看到人和万物，钢笔和书籍，床和抽屉，刀和砧板，还有那辆旧自行车，都是一样的大小。人的每个器官都睁开了多只奇异的眼睛，而吸收的毒液却被永久地封存起来，无路可逃。闭着眼睛的你不像睁着眼睛的我那么忙碌。但你的沉默却发出奇异的响声，告诉我你的爱已经渗入树木、街道和房屋、花园、田野、河流和泉水……从现在起，我们不必再怀疑什么，直到我们永远闭上眼睛。

Closed Eyes

With closed eyes the world appears unpolluted. The surrounding pure spaces are spreading and latticed. We see ourselves in childhood holding a bright candle in the church. The candlelight is filling eye-sockets, filling the hollow immobile gaps amidst secret verdant foliage. With closed eyes the forest resembles a garden. The rattan stems, the ferns and wild grasses take the shape of huge ancient trees. The needle leaves form a large canopy. The earth bee, the porcupine, the squirrel, and the bull are similar shapes… And I stayed motionless for a long time with my eyes closed. Even though my premonition had warned me, they were looking for a clue, fanning the wind, taking fright… With closed eyes we can see people and all things in justice and in a clear light. Pens and books, beds and drawers, knives and chopping boards, and the old bike were of the same size. Each human organ opens up with multiple strange eyes, while the venoms absorbed are permanently sealed up with no way of escape. With closed eyes you are not so busy as when I am with open eyes. But your silence makes queer resounding sounds, telling me that your love has penetrated the trees, the streets and houses, the gardens, the fields, and the rivers and springs… From now on we need not doubt anything until we close our eyes forever
