[陳秋白]

像是一隻無仝的船〈It appears that a different ship〉
欲駛過海，佇某一个確定的時間。〈will sail across the sea, at a certain hour.〉
伊毋是鐵造的也無插〈She isn’t built of iron and does not fly〉
柑仔色旗：〈orange flags：〉
無人知對叨位〈nobody knows from where〉
抑是當時來：〈or the hour：〉
逐項攏安排好〈everything is arranged〉
這是上好的沙龍，逐項攏替〈and there is no finer salon, everything is ready〉
短時間的現象準備。〈for the fleeting event.〉
水波滾出〈The spume is rolled out〉
像一領織著天星〈like an elegant carpet〉
媠媠的地毯，〈woven with stars,〉
較遠的是藍，〈the blue even farther,〉
青綠，對別的海徙來，〈the greenness, the movement from another sea,〉
逐項等待。〈everything waits.〉
開闊的生湠地，〈And the scattered rookery,〉
沖洗過，清氣，不朽，〈washed, gleaming, eternal,〉
佇沙頂列隊〈lined itself up across the sand〉
像一列城堡，〈like a chain of castles,〉
像一列塔。〈like a chain of towers.〉
逐項〈Everything〉
攏準備好，〈is prepared,〉
恬靜受邀請，〈silence is invited,〉
甚至查埔人，總是分心，〈and even men, always distracted,〉
希望袂錯過這種景象：〈hope not to miss this apparition：〉
亻因穿著禮拜日的服裝，〈they are dressed in Sunday suits,〉
亻因的靴金爍爍，〈their boots are shined,〉
捋[lua̍h]過頭毛。〈their hair combed.〉
亻因漸漸老〈They are growing older〉
船無駛過。〈and ship does not sail.〉



6.
當我決定保持清醒〈When I decided to clarify my life〉
手牽手揣出不幸〈and, hand by hand, to seek our misfortune〉
用撚骰仔[lián-tāu-á]的方法，〈by throwing the dice,〉
我拄著陪我四界去〈I met the woman who accompanies me〉
時時做伴的女子，〈everywhere and at all hours,〉
佇雲宵，安靜。〈in clouds and in silence.〉

瑪蒂爾德(Matilde)是這名〈Matilde is the one〉
對奇蘭(Chillan)來的〈who answers to this name〉
女子，〈from Chillan,〉
甚至落雨〈and even if it rains〉
霆[tân]雷抑是離開，〈or thunders or rises,〉
藍色頭毛的日時〈the day with blue hair〉
抑是瘦抽[sán-thiu]的暝，〈or the slender night,〉
伊，〈she is the one,〉
dele que dele〈dele que dele〉
準備予我的身軀，〈ready for my body,〉
予我的空間，〈for the space of my body,〉
拍開全部向海的窗〈opening all the windows to the sea〉
所以字句飛走，〈so that the written word flies off,〉
所以家具充滿〈so that the furniture fills〉
恬靜的信號，〈with silent signals〉
綠色的火。〈with green fire.〉



7.
宣布我有四隻狗：〈I have four dogs to declare：〉
一隻已經埋佇花園，〈one is already buried in the garden,〉
二隻使我著驚，〈two others keep me on my toes,〉
一點點仔野性〈tiny wild〉
破壞者，〈destroyers,〉
厚厚的爪佮橂[tīng]的獠牙〈with thick paws and hard canines〉
像石針。〈like needles of stone.〉
閣一隻垃圾狗母，〈And one scruffy dog,〉
徛遠遠，〈aloof,〉
毛淺色溫馴。〈fair-haired in her gracious manner.〉
無人感覺著伊像金仔滑溜的跤步〈No one hears her smooth golden steps〉
抑是遠遠出現的伊。〈or her distant presence.〉
伊單佇深暝〈she barks only late at night〉
對一寡鬼魂吠，〈at certain phantoms,〉
所以單一寡揀著無存在的人〈so that just a few chosen hidden persons〉
會聽著伊佇路〈hear her on the roads〉
抑是佇其它烏暗的所在。〈or in other dark places.〉
