作品原文

余光中 《不寐之犬》

往往，末班车过后
天地之大也不过剩下
一里半里路外
远屋的犬吠，三声两声
只有灯能体会
这时辰，灯下的白头人
也是一头无寐之犬
但守的是另一种夜
吠的，是另一种黑影
只要远一点听
譬如在一百年外
就听得清清楚楚

作品译文

The Sleepless Dog
Yu Kwang-chung

Often, after the last train,
In this wide world there only remain,
A mile or half a mile away,
Some dogs barking, two or three.
Only my lamp knows, at such moments,
This graying head by the light
Is no less a sleepless dog,
One that watches a different night
And barks at different shades.
Only it takes a greater distance
A hundred years away, for instance,
To hear it right.
