乌托邦
（波兰）维斯瓦娃 · 辛波斯卡作

万事一目了然地清晰。
你的脚下是坚实的土壤。
能够提供通道的唯有那些路。
树丛在佐证的重量下放下身段弯腰屈膝。
合理推测之树在此生长
自古以来树枝就被理顺
理解之树笔直而简单地炫舞，
弹跳出的萌芽命名为“我明白了。”
林木越深，远景越浩瀚；
“显然之谷”。
假如有任何疑问出现，那阵风就立刻摧毁它们。
回声打搅了未被召集的那些
起劲地解释世界的奥秘。
右边是一个洞穴，那里涵义躺着撒谎。
左边是深信湖。
真理从湖底喷薄而出。
不可撼动的确信在深谷上空成塔。
塔顶提供了万事精髓的卓越视像。
因为它具备所有这些魅力，这岛没人居住，
沙滩上零零落落有些模糊的脚印
无一例外都朝向大海 。
好像在这你能做的只是离开
永不再来，一头扎进深度。
进入深不可测的生涯。
Utopia
by Wislawa Szymborska
Island where all becomes clear.
Solid ground beneath your feet.
The only roads are those that offer access.
Bushes bend beneath the weight of proofs.
The Tree of Valid Supposition grows here
with branches disentangled since time immermorial.
The Tree of Understanding, dazzling straight and simple.
sprouts by the spring called Now I Get It.
The thicker the woods, the vaster the vista:
the Valley of Obviously.
If any doubts arise, the wind dispels them instantly.
Echoes stir unsummoned
and eagerly explain all the secrets of the worlds.
On the right a cave where Meaning lies.
On the left the Lake of Deep Conviction.
Truth breaks from the bottom and bobs to the surface.
Unshakable Confidence towers over the valley.
Its peak offers an excellent view of the Essence of Things.
For all its charms, the island is uninhabited,
and the faint footprints scattered on its beaches
turn without exception to the sea.
As if all you can do here is leave
and plunge, never to return, into the depths.
Into unfathomable life.
