<橱窗>
胡的清  作

从双层巴士的上层挤下身来
夹著公文包的少女    匆匆横过

斑马线    走过窜出冷气的咖啡馆
大减价的百货铺和挂满招贴画的

书报亭    她的侧影在一家高级时装店
的橱窗前停了下来    伫步凝神

橱窗里有一个石膏模特儿    它的
侧面轮廓    与她极其相似

用手扣了扣厚实的玻璃窗
扣了扣玻璃窗    好像扣一扇门

没有人注意    没有人知道她
是否走进    那个假想的空间里去了

A Display Window  
                by Hu Di-Qing

pushing her way down the upper deck of the bus
the girl with a black briefcase hastily crosses

the street    after passing the coffeeshop spurting out whitish air
the department store with a big sale sign and the bookstand

with all kinds of hanging pictures    she pauses
in front of a display window of a fashion shop    staring

at a model of plaster whose sideview bears
a striking resemblance to her

she knocks at the thick heavy windowpane
knocking at it as if at a door

no one notices    no one knows if she ever enters
the hypothetical space

(Translated by William Marr)
