Fan Jinghua: Some Want to Dream of the Sun

　　Some Want to Dream of the Sun

They look at the clouds, retreating.
But the rain is still too far. I cannot say this,
For I am water by nature, and inhabit in wetland and starry sky.
Who knows when season will be brought in when the wind comes?
They do not brood on this, and the first thing flashes across their mind is
They’d better cover their mat shed with linoleum
And wash off the fuss and dust on the sunflower’s stem and leaves
Before moving the plant in by the bedside clothes stand.
To dream of the sun, they have kept their bed
Dry, and the petals should be reflecting light even at night.
Seascape is too empty to stimulate their sleep.

　　有人想梦见太阳

他们两眼望着云，后撤。
可雨还远着呢。我可不能这样说，
因为我属水，性喜潮湿和星空。
谁知道风来的时候，会带来什么季节。
他们不想这个问题，所以才首先要将门前的凉棚
罩上油布，冲洗掉向日葵茎叶上的茸毛
和灰尘，搬到床前。
他们想梦到太阳，床
就得干燥，花瓣最好能反光。
海边的风景太空旷了，夜里，他们不需要。
