9. 拜访寺庙 - 灵

拜访寺庙翻译：诗验室借助湿婆的灵伽我们膜拜了呜咽的三相神“我们席地而坐，一想起锡安就潸然泪下。”【1】她那抛过光的宝座，冰冷的，在水火中复活。她的残骸，也是冰冷的，为消失的迹象发出一声叹息。时间终会出现么？雨会来么？我们博学的朋友，谈及不变的形而上学。然而就连最为抽象的实体都得被迫带着困苦绕道而行。他知道么？他知道么？温柔的帕伽雅会回复么？【2】再等弗拉季米尔和爱斯特拉冈站起，【3】“Nous sommes les marionnettes du monde.”【4】一团在狂喜中燃烧与结束的火焰。“Je vois alors qu'ils la joue comme un jouet.”【5】瞧瞧看吧，一位女孩的碎片。最终我管好自己的土地了吗？【6】她最后的意识，淹没在一堆死亡的照片中。因为每一颗刺穿善良淑女的子弹，都刻着这些假偶像与假币膜拜者的名字。我又听见你的声音，苍白、悬而未决中不满的震动：“你已犯下 —通奸罪：但那是在另一个国度，再说了，那丫头已经死了。”【7】所以现在轻轻忘掉我吧，因为你和我，如果你曾许过愿，可能是朋友。

9. visit to the shrine - 杰

9. visit to the shrine - 杰

Visit to the Shrineby Derek WangBy Shiva’s lingam we worship the Trimurti that weeps We sat down and whimper, when we remembered Zion[1].Her burnish’d throne, arctic, resuscitates in water and fire.Her remains, arctic as well,A single sigh for the vanished signs.Will there ever be time? Will there ever be rain?Our friend, the polymath, talks of constant metaphysics.Yet even the most abstract entityis forced to circumambulate in distress.Does he know? Does he know? Will the tender Parjanya ever respond [2]?Wait once more as Vladimir and Estragon erect [3],Nous sommes les marionnettes du monde[4].A flame that consumes and consummates in ecstasy.Je vois alors qu'ils la joue comme un jouet[5].Regard and behold, the fragments of a girl.Have I set my land in order at last [6]?Her last consciousness, drown in the stream of dead images.For every bullet impaled on the kind demoiselle,imprints the name of these, worshipping false idols and pence.I hear your voice again,pale, unsatisfied oscillation in suspense:Thou hast committed—Fornication: but that was in another country,And besides, the wench is dead[7].So gently forget me now, for you and I,if you wished, might have been friends.

7. 废墟中的一切 - 莹

7. 废墟中的一切 - 莹

废墟中的一切翻译：诗验室这么长时间以来我一直在写这首诗藤状植物与树根已将我的脚重重包围。有时候他们在顺着我的大腿攀爬时会挤压它，分散了我的注意力。我低头一看；杂草正从地板间长出。我抬头，看见墙壁都已裂开。我转头，已经很久没有这么往外看了。原来的商业街已被树木和森林占据。一只野猪弄伤我的一位邻居，老鹰直冲而下扑向残骸。如果我可以再写两三行，我想，可是屋顶下陷，阳光使我双眼灼痛。我被迫放弃这首诗。

7. everything in ruins - Simon Alderwick

7. everything in ruins - Simon Alderwick

everything in ruinsby Simon AlderwickI've been working on this poem so longvines and tree roots have wrapped around my feet. Sometimes they squeeze as they crawl up my legs, breaking my concentration. I look down; grass and weeds are sprouting through the floorboards.I look up and see the walls are all cracked.I turn my head, look outside for the firsttime in a long time. Tall trees and forestwhere the high street used to be. A wild hogmauls one of my neighbours, and hawks swoop downon the remains. If I could just finishanother couple of lines, I think, butthe ceiling caves in and I'm blinded bysunlight. I'm forced to abandon my work.

6. 我 - 鹿

我作者：Mary Ventura希望、失望、绝望、渴望、奢望、巴望、指望，可是，我是个瞎子。听话、听任、听命、听信、听政、听说、听凭，可是，我是个聋子。可悲、可叹、可笑、可怜、可惜、可取、可能，可是，我只能听从、跟从、盲从、顺从、服从、遵从，能不能不从？

6. Me - 杰

6. Me - 杰

Metranslated by PLS(In Chinese) there’s a vision in hope, disappointment, despair, desire, chimera, expectation, and yet, I am blind;it requires listening to be obedient, to let alone, to take orders, to attend to state affairs, to hear of things, to allow, and yet, I am deaf.and an ability to be pathetic, regrettable, laughable, pitiful, sorrowful, commendable, possible, and yet, I am only ableto obey, to tag along, to follow blindly, to yield, to devote, to comply, can I not agree?

5. 取自《禁止之物》- 莹

取自《禁止之物》致约瑟夫·格里登翻译：诗验室方圆数百里内空无一人然而一条脊椎及其肋骨悬挂着将土地分割开来的铁丝 — 下一个几乎被其僵硬的旧皮裹住，在边缘处被撕开 —破旧的阿根廷国旗不向任何人打招呼从未离开要想在巴塔哥尼亚的风中安息 — 下一个眼睛仍在又大又美又死气沉沉 — 下一个 —下一个 — 每走几步下一个 — 直到仍在挣扎的那个本可以被拯救的那个。但生存是唯一一种从不悬挂在此处被展示的状态（再说了方圆数百里内空无一人）。当最后一位后代因那些用以保护无人守护之地的荒漠灌木与倒刺而失去性命时他们在想什么？方圆数百里内空无一人

2. 它不会降临 - 莹

2. 它不会降临 - 莹

它不会降临作者：李曼旎它不会降临在夏日，绝望的相同的死期。在见到你的第一面，我所记得的所有只剩下我的季节。那里有着致死般炎毒的空气，流放的鱼群散发出香味，回不来的人反复叩着门，他们所说的神迹其实和任何一块血糊糊的宝石都没有区别，所有能被命运取代的东西，都不再是我的结局。三月适合埋葬，四月适合祈祷，而困厄的五月适合什么？是注定的死亡让我有希望，在破碎的眼睑上，看见相似的蔷薇花盛开。

2. it will not descend - 杰

2. it will not descend - 杰

It Will Not Descendtranslated by PLSIt will not descend on a summer’s day, hopelesssame day of death. Upon ourfirst encounter, all I could recallwas my seasons. There the airincurably toxic, deportedfish oozing a pleasant smell, those un-returnable knocking on the door over and over again, the miraclethey mentioned was no different to anybloody diamond, those interchangeablewith fate, are no longer my ending.March is good for burials, April for praying,and for what is the distressed May? It’s the predestineddeath that gives me hope, over brokeneyelids, of seeing the blooming of indistinguishable roses.

1. 思绪 - 灵

思绪翻译：诗验室我们已迷失方向急促走向未来而不考虑现在过去我们共同的辉煌。知识可以治愈但是无人愿意承认过去的债人们祖先所有的过来人。我们除了索取索取索取别无作为根本没有考虑到给自己和身体所造成的伤害。我们的信仰乱七八糟。我们的生活面目全非树被强行拔起连根带土然后我们消失无踪一如困住的牛奶变酸凝结蜕变又丑又黄然后从此一去不复返。
