介绍:
22岁我走去面包店一路想着面包。还在拐角的店卖黄油。有四种不同的黄油噢！我根据咸度把它们排成串。我偷偷地学习当地土语。但是很少说话。我的学生们都那么漂亮我能教的不多于是就让他们唱歌。二十出头。没啥事由。纽约被我抛弃，康州也随风而去。我的学生们一直唱歌，他们的头发短了又长，长了又短。我要躺在床上撸一管然后问问自己为啥要干这个一而再，再而三之后起来买面包再跑几圈。这个村庄会永世长存吗？它一定行。就在此时，有的人咕哝着“没家的男人”曼哈顿奥尔良还是贝莱尔——这个害羞的老师是哪来的呀？而她在梳自己一直在变长的头发。作者 / [美国] 阿比加尔·德驰翻译 / 光诸Twenty-TwoI walked to the baker’sand thought about the bread.And at the corner storethe butter. Four kinds of butter!I bought them in orderof saltiness. I studied slangin secret. I said little.And my students wereso beautifulI couldn’t teach a thing.Instead I made them sing.Twenty-two. Nothing to do.New York had vanished,Connecticut, too.My students grew hairand got haircuts, grew hairand got haircuts, and sang.I’d lie in bed and masturbateand wonder why I’d come,and come and come againand then rise for some bread and a run.Does the village persist? It must.Right now, someone hums “Nowhere Man”and thinks of that shy teacher from—Manhattan? New Orleans? Bel Air?And she brushes her lengthening hair.ABIGAIL DEUTSCH
