超光速(Faster than Light)
At night we lie entwined
beneath the stars
and mourn the distance
of a million burning suns
that twinkle in the sky.
夜晚,我蜷曲卧在
群星之下
而哀叹遥远的
百万颗燃烧的太阳
闪烁于天堂
Could we exceed the speed of light,
our cosmic quarantine
would fall away,
time would reverse,
as Einstein proved,
and we'd explore exotic worlds
before we left the Earth.
我能超越光速吗
我们宇宙的间距
应在远离
时间可逆
如爱因斯坦证明
而我们应探索奇异的世界
然后飞离大地
You and I would captain
the interstellar ship --
we travel faster than light
every day, every night,
perceiving events before they happen –
你和我可导航
星际飞船—
我们日日夜夜
以超光速旅行
感觉事件早已发生--
like when you roll over in bed,
reaching out to disarm the alarm
at ten seconds 'til,
就像当你翻身床上
恍入惊醒的梦境
每十秒更新
or when I hear your hello
above rush-hour traffic
just before my cell phone rings,
或者当我在拥挤的列车上
听见你的问好
随后我的手机响起
or when I taste you
licking my lips, my tongue
before you ever move close
to kiss me.
或者当我渴望你
舌舔着唇
然后你不断靠近
与我亲吻

评注:光速极限假设是爱翁相对论的两大基础之一。所以超光速在标准物理理论中是不可能的,此诗是科幻诗歌。超光速一般要求时间逆转,但表达了另一类情景、情趣和意味。
