注:俳句(haiku)是日本的一种古典短诗,是中国古诗绝句形式经过日本化发展而来。“英俳”是英语国家少年儿童开始学习写诗时,最喜欢采用的诗体之一。这首诗最有意思的一点是,它虽然讽刺俳句短急,但是“unfinish”只拼到一半,就像俳句的形式一般骤然没有了。

请勿触摸

在艺术博物馆里,摆在维纳斯雕像前的“请勿触摸”指示牌非常显眼,很容易看到。

有个小孩看看指示牌,又看看雕像,淡淡地说道:“谁都看到,她是掉了一只手嘛!”

Count Tomorrow Morning

It's a night, John is looking at the sky.

Tom is John's younger brother. He asks John, "What are you doing?" John says, "I'm counting stars.”

Tom laughs and says, "It's really dark now. Why not count them tomorrow morning?"

明天早上数

这是一个晚上,约翰抬头看着天空。

汤姆是约翰的弟弟,他问约翰:“你在干什么?”

约翰说:“我在数星星。”

汤姆笑着说:“现在天太黑了,你为什么不等到明天早上再数呢?”

玫瑰有刺

作者:CJ_Choo(美国宾夕法尼亚州亚德利市)

There is beauty in words,

in lines written and read.

And with every stroke,

he cut me open,

and reminded me,

that roses have thorns.

Thorns

By CJ_Choo, Yardley, PA

美存在于文字中,

还在书写、阅读的话语间。

每一次敲击,

都将我割裂,

并提醒我,

玫瑰有刺。
