用抽屜鎖住自己的秘密

　　在喜愛的書上留下批語

　　信投進郵箱 默默地站一會兒

　　風(fēng)中打量著行人 毫無顧忌

　　留意著霓虹燈閃爍的櫥窗

　　電話間里投進一枚硬幣

　　問橋下釣魚的老頭要支香煙

　　河上的輪船拉響了空曠的汽笛

　　在劇場門口幽暗的穿衣鏡前

　　透過煙霧凝視著自己

　　當(dāng)窗簾隔絕了星海的喧囂

　　燈下翻開褪色的照片和字跡

　　A Day

　　Bei Dao

　　Lock up your secrets with a drawer

　　leave notes in the margin of a favorite book

　　put a letter in the pillarbox and stand in silence a while

　　size up passers-by in the wind, without misgivings

　　study shop windows with flashing neon lights

　　insert a coin in the telephone room

　　cadge a smoke from the fisherman under the bridge

　　as the river steamer sounds its vast siren

　　stare at yourself through clouds of smoke

　　in the full-length dim mirror at the theatre entrance

　　and when the curtain has shut out the clamour of the sea of stars

　　leaf through fade photos and old letters in the lamplight

　　(Bonnie McDougall and Chen Maiping 譯)
