伊沙《车过黄河》英译

列车正经过黄河

我正在厕所小便

我深知这不该

我    应该坐在窗前

或站在车门旁边

左手叉腰

右手作眉檐

眺望  像个伟人

至少像个诗人

想点河上的事情

或历史的陈帐

那时人们都在眺望

我在厕所里

时间很长

现在这时间属于我

我等了一天一夜

只一泡尿功夫

黄河已经流远

Crossing the Yellow River

Yi Sha

As the train was passing over the Yellow River
I was in the toilet having a piss
Oh, I knew I was being remiss
I should have been sitting at one of the windows
Or standing by a door of the carriage
left hand on my hip
Shielding my eyes with my right hand
Gazing out  like some Great Man
Or like a poet, at the very least
Recalling some anecdote connected with this river
Or some episode from its history
Just then, everyone was gazing out the window
While I was in the toilet
For what seemed like ages
For my time had come
I had waited 24 hours for this
But in the time it took to have a piss
I’d left the Yellow River a long way behind me
