白玉苦瓜
     --看台北故宫博物院的玉雕忆余光中诗


什么苦都吃得
善烹饪的妻
却总把苦瓜我的旧爱
排在菜单之外

只好透过诗页
透过空间阻隔的玻璃
让这用时间的文火
徐徐煨成的佳肴
鲜美诱动舌尖
去裸泳
津津的记忆


Viewing the Jade Bitter Gourd at the Palace Museum in Taipei


Despite their sweet aftertaste
my wife refuses to include bitter gourds
in her menu

Standing in front of the glass case
I watch my favorite delicacy
simmer in the slow flames of time
while the tip of my tongue
swims naked
in the saliva
of memory

bbbbeautiful!

while the tip of my tongue
swims naked in the saliva
of memory ------- a bit vulgar, isn't it?

bbbbeautiful, the jade is !

I've seen a lot of jade!

咱们提上来学习

可惜俺是英语盲

起得妙，结得好！题诗精品！

上片好极, 中英都比往常的诗高出几筹！

惜下片不好.

略看了其他几页, 知道非马先生名头非同小可, 失敬!失敬!

但箭已射出, 发以收回, 致谦!

问大家好！谢谢阅评。小土豆有机会去台湾，千万不要错过故宫博物院，还有朱铭的雕塑。无一三士有话就说，没什么失敬不失敬的问题，更无须道歉。
