悉尼诗人  西贝

红蜘蛛

一只透明的红蜘蛛/ 在水晶瓶里/ 象一颗遗落的红珠/它一动不动/ 蜇伏在瓶底/红色 潜藏某种玄机

当你把瓶翻转/ 并对它说 回到花园里吧/ 它便悬在空中 然后/ 顺着一根丝回到瓶底

那是一根纤细的银丝/ 一次又一次地重复/ 终于 使你不忍再去劝说

甚至使你相信/ 那透明的红魂/带着某种宿命的痛苦/ 固执留守水晶的坟墓

Red spider

In a crystal jar there is a transparent- red spider

Who lies idle at its bottom, on to which her other end of sticky-thread

Has stretched out gluing her

Yet like a lost-pearl with red-dot on it might have held

On the sly some sort of abstruse code. A voice says eagerly to her:  

Please release yourself to the garden while the jar overturned

The moment she’d rather shrink the thread up to her shelter

Yet to a new-top now the bottom of the jar in her world

As a restless spirit of a red -pearl floating in air

Seemingly once and again, the self-confinement obstinately she coded on the tiny silver-dream thread she is easily in air

Then never less alone than when alone indeed

Finally the scene makes you stop disturbing her!

Convince in a faraway sense, as a prison of hobbyist

In some sort of fate-sorrow ever-growing the red spider

Being focus of a still-life inside the open-jar

But well-guarded by her own fancy-wise crystal castle

【英语语法笔记】动名词是一个动词性的名词,它具有名词绝大多数的特征,也具有动词的特征, 但在动词的各种形态中,只有-ing动名词能作介词宾语。-ing 动名词几乎可以用于所有的“短语动词”的后面。例句:(a) I'll go craze if I think about losing him now.

(b) His obstinate pride kept him from admitting his love for fear of a rebuff.

(c)、the voice of a man facing himself and his world without feeling, without flinching, without hope.

8、In a crystal jar there is a red -transparent spider who lies idle in its bottom, on to which her other end-thread stretches out gluing her .  这两行诗里, 包含一个who 引导的限制性定语从句,修饰前面的名词介词宾语。还有一个which 引导的非限制性定语从句,which 说明前面的名词bottom;

【英语语法笔记】两个动词所表示的动作合成一个,有连续性以及同一逻辑主语。这一句译诗中的 stretches out gluing her on… 就是两个动作合成一个:伸直出去把她粘住在玻璃瓶底.glue on: 用黏性物质将(某物)粘上.例句: (a)he came in running; (b): … and seems to pass him revolving like the sail of a windmill.
