Such a glorious sunset in Constantinople... in Riga...
they became physical happiness, and he cried
How short is a poetic life as the fugitive particularly gazing out
Will the last he noticed be the first to disappear?
At sunset he met his dad who had been dead for forty years
at GPO Sunset, he brushing past his dad without seeing --
Weird! Why did this happen to Johor in the dream last night?
( Whether remembered or forgotten, it's pleasing.)
Such a glorious sunset in Constantinople... in Riga...
they became physical happiness, and he cried
Another young Nabokov who is like his young mom
hits only with knuckles instead of a whole fist.
柏樺
這君士坦丁堡的晚霞……裏加晚霞……
就這樣變成了身體的幸福，他看哭了
那逃亡者目光挑剔，詩生活何其短暫
他最後註意到的東西，將會最先消失？
晚霞裏，他遇見了往生四十年的父親
剛剛與他在晚霞郵政總局擦肩而過——
好怪，這事怎麽發生在昨晚夢中的柔佛？
（無論記住或忘卻，都令人感到高興）
這君士坦丁堡的晚霞……裏加晚霞……
就這樣變成了身體的幸福，他看哭了
另壹個年輕的納博科夫像他年輕的母親
只用指關節打人，從來不用整個拳頭。
註釋壹：“他最後註意到的東西，將會最先消失。”典出《聖經》。
註釋二：柔佛（馬來文：Johor；英文：Johore），地名，馬來西亞十三個州之壹，位於亞洲大陸的最南端。
