遠方

作者： 謝默斯·希尼 / 愛爾蘭

當我說我來自“遠方”

關卡的警察質問：“那是什麼地方？”

他沒聽清我的話就以為

那是這個國家某地的名字

如今它——我曾一直生活

又選擇離開的所在——仍有很遠的路要走

像來自很多光年之外，

又要走很多光年才能抵達的星光

Far Away
By Seamus Heaney

When I answered that I came from “far away”,
The policeman at the roadblock snapped, “where’s that?”
He’d only half heard what I said and thought
It was the name of some place up the country.

And now it is - both where I have been living
And where I left - a distance still to go
Like starlight that is light years on the go
From far away and takes light years arriving.
