The Word “Black”
---Langston Hughes
兰斯顿·休斯(Langston Hughes,1902.02.01-1967.05.22)在美国文坛,尤其是黑人文学方面,是一个举足轻重的人物。他写过小说、戏剧、散文、历史、传记等各种文体的作品,还把西班牙文和法文的诗歌翻译成英文,甚至编辑过其他黑人作家的文选,但他主要以诗歌著称,被誉为"黑人民族的桂冠诗人"。
“I am black. When I look in the mirror, I see myself, but I am not ashamed. God made me. He did not make us no badder than the rest of the folks. The earth is black and all kinds of g ood things comes out of the earth. Trees and flowers and fruit and sweet potatoes and corn and all that keeps men alive comes right up out of the earth—-go od old black earth. Coal is black and it warms your house and cooks your food. The night is black, which has a moon, and a million stars, and is beautiful. Sleep is black which gives you rest, so you wake up feeling good. I am black. I feel
very good this evening.”What is wrong with black?”
