Engineer
after Arseny Tarkovsky
和阿尔谢尼·塔可夫斯基
夜淹没了一切
只有一位铁路工程师，
提着灯笼独自走在轨道上--
它的光线徒然亮着，
那一定是一盏梦之灯。
他走过时铁轨轻轻地唱和。
某个地方，有一座小镇
所有的灯都将发亮
直到他回家为止。
The night takes away everything
except a railway engineer,
alone on the tracks with his lamp –
its beam shows nothing,
it must be the dream of a lamp.
The rail sings quietly as he walks.
Somewhere, there is a town
where all the lights will burn
till he comes home.
Helen Mort (2013)
