自嘲

我在屏幕和框框里流转

乡屋被笼罩在纸环间无法动弹。

U字母里，乌与尤在交替互换

对付不了自家的纸事，

却依然可做屏幕战略大师

在溅满人血的时空里激扬电子江山

感恩分分秒秒

所信的幸福意欢

Self Mocking

I am running around between screen and frames

My little house is locked within rings of paper clouds.

In the letter U, Woo and U are alternating back and forth

Unable to deal with own household paper chores

still can act in screen as strategic gurus:

Key in electronic Borders in blood-filled time and space

Made to believe with gratitude in each second and minute for

the perceived happiness

汉诗英译：好日子风平浪静

好日子风平浪静In Good Time of Eased Wind and Calmed Waves作者：李承文
英译：H.L.Glennie

没有风的日子
就是好日子
放之四海而皆准
无论在惠灵顿
还是耶路撒冷
无论是国王、总理
还是平民百姓
大家都需要 风平浪静

一年四季
人们苟苟营营
你拥我挤
无端地制造许多风波
许多 
残败和凋零

一年
只有这么一天
人们突然想起
没有风多好
没有无孔不入的惊悚
多么舒坦
此时此刻，每一滴星光
每一瓣浪花
都属于你
每一团云中的梦
每一缕亲切的笑容
都触手可及

一年又一年的圣诞
将一个又一个
狂躁不安的日子
变得异常宁静
异常温馨

作者注：注：惠灵顿多风，号称“风城”。风和日丽的冬日，尤其难得。

In Good Time of Eased Wind and Calmed Wavesby Chengwen Li
Translated by ©H.L.Glennie


The windless time
Is good time
A universally accepted claim
Whether in Wellington
Or in Jarusalem
Whether it's a king, prime minister
Or the commons
All needs a break from raging storm


Year after year, throughout four seasons
People are shamelessly busy with ethereal pursuits.
Crowd after crowd
People churn out many turmoils with no apparent reasons
Hence many
     Decays and ruins


Each year
Only with such a day
People suddenly recall
How nice it can be when wind is off
A time with no horror penetrating everywhere
How comforting it is
In such a moment, when each starlit glint
Each flowering wave
All belong to you
The dreams in each mass of clouds
Each trace of warm smiles
All become reachable with our hands


Christmas year over year
Transforms one after another
Restless and maniac day
Into remarkably serene time
With sweetly warm atmosphere.

英诗汉译叶兹诗：重临 Chinese Translation: The Second Coming

重临

威廉·叶兹［英］
Translated by ©H.L.Glennie

旋转旋转漩涡扩展增进
猎鹰听不见主人号令；
万物分崩离析；中心不再屹立；
无政府状态举世漫溢，
到处是鲜血一闪一闪的红潮
纯真之仪已经沉沦；
优秀者缺乏信心，低劣者
发满激情的强音。

当然某些启示在显现：
显然天意重临在即。
天意重临啊！语辞难以描述
一个源于普世精神的巨大影像
扰乱我的视界：在大漠之沙的某一处
一个形状带着人头与狮身，
一个盯视犹如太阳空茫无情，
它缓慢移动着大腿，而周遭却是
一轮又一轮沙漠鸟群愤怒的阴翳。
黑夜再次降落；但如今我知
僵眠的二十世纪
已被一只摇滚的摇篮绕进恶梦，
多么粗暴的野兽啊，它的时辰终于来临，
朝着伯利恒伛偻前行祈望重生？

The Second Coming

By William Butler Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mandi

Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

《平安夜》的来历 The Origin of the Silent Night

《平安夜》的来历

《平安夜》的来历
 by ©H.L.Glennie
https://hglennie.blogspot.com/
今晚是平安夜，是圣诞前夜，西方各国的大街小巷、教堂圣地、公共场所无不响彻《平安夜》那静谧、祥和、令人憧憬的乐声。这首家喻户晓的歌已经成为世代传颂的圣诞时节必唱曲目。©H.L.Glennie  

 这首歌是在哪里在什么样的历史环境下诞生的呢？它的作者又是谁呢？《平安夜》诞生于1816年时的萨尔茨堡。当时欧洲处于频繁交战的拿破仑战争时期，萨尔茨堡夹在拿破仑的法兰西帝国、哈布斯堡王朝的奥地利、巴伐利亚的纷争中间，那一年也是萨尔茨堡经历饥荒的一年。最美的歌声就是诞生在这最严酷最绝望的时光。©H.L.Glennie
