Listen to this articleAnn’s Dream of Apples and Fish
《梦见苹果和鱼的安》
I still haven’t said
我仍然没有说
That deadly mushrooms must surely grow inside a large house
大房屋里就一定有死亡的蘑菇
It’s your endless dreaming of apples and fish
你不断地梦见苹果和鱼
In a big house like this one
就在这样的大房屋
That scares me most
你叫我害怕
You have never gone behind the house
屋后我写过的那黑森林
Into that black forest that I wrote about
你从来就没去过
You’re constantly reaffirming the world you dream
你总在重复那个梦境
Constantly saying
你总在说
How much it’s like the real world
像真的一样
We won’t live here very long
我们不会住很久了
I’ll put a lock on every door
我要把所有的门都加上锁
And lock shut the fishes’ mouths with grass stalks
用草茎锁住鱼的嘴巴
All the way up till dawn
一直到天亮
Do you still expect to wrap your head
你还会在那个雨季
With a blanket during the rainy season
用毯子蒙住头
While you listen to those crackling sounds
倾听大房屋
Of a vast house rotting?
那些腐烂的声音吗
