第19章 Day Flight-白日坐飞机

Day Flight

Jack Davis (杰克.戴斯维)

I closed my eyes as I sat in the jet

And I asked the hostess if she would let

Me take on board a patch of sky

And a dash of the blue-green sea.

Far down below my country gleamed

In thin dry rivers and blue-white lakes

And most I longed for， there as I dreamed，

A square of the desert， stark and red，

To mould a pillow for a sleepy head

And a cloak to cover me.

白日坐飞机

译者 / 陈正发

我闭着眼坐在喷气式飞机上，

我请问服务员，那位姑娘

可否让我带上一泓碧海

连同那蓝天一方。

远远的下方，我的故土闪着光

来自蓝白色湖泊和浅涸的河床，

我梦想，我非常渴望着

红色沙漠一片，赤裸荒凉，

好做成枕头，呼呼入睡去梦乡

好裁作大氅，覆盖在我身上。
