Poem Text of In Those Years by Adrienne Rich

In those years, people will say, we lost track
of the meaning of we, of you
we found ourselves
reduced to I
and the whole thing became
silly, ironic, terrible:
we were trying to live a personal life
and, yes, that was the only life
we could bear witness to

But the great dark birds of history screamed and plunged
into our personal weather
They were headed somewhere else but their beaks and pinions drove
along the shore, through rages of fog
where we stood, saying I


Chinese Translation

在那段歲月

在那段歲月，人們會說，我們遺忘了
我們或你們的涵義
我們發現自己
已還原成只有我
並且整個的事情變成
愚笨，嘲諷，令人恐懼的
我們嚐試過一種個人的生活
並且，是的，那是唯一的生活
我們能夠做見証

但是歷史的大黑鳥却尖叫並闖進
我們個人的境遇中
它們飛向某處，但是它們的嘴和翅膀却沿著
海岸急速擺動，穿越雲霧的盛怒
而我們站立於此，說著我

一些建議：

...我們遺忘了
我們或你們的涵義
...
並且全部的事情變得
愚蠢，諷刺，令人厭惡
我們嚐試過一種個人生活
並且，是的，那是唯一我們能夠
做見証的生活
...
它們飛向某處，但是它們的嘴和翅膀却沿著海岸
急速擺動，穿越雲霧的盛怒...
（這裏drove和rages最好翻出來，要不然就少了張力）
