。。我又在看诺贝尔奖获得者的作品了， Louise Glück 的 Averno。。怎讲。。好无聊？？
完全不是我喜欢的那种诗的语言，读着好别扭，像是口语（you know; my friend; if you know what I mean; in case someone else should follow me），论文（that's the first part, the second is; On the one hand..., on the other hand...）和流水账（when I was still very young/my parents moved to a small valley/surrounded by mountains/in what was called the lake country）的结合，反正就是不像诗。断句/行/段也很奇怪，别人的诗句在中间断大多都是因为符合韵律，然而 Averno 完全不押韵，有的地方就在中间那么突然一断，像是 emacs 的 auto line wrap...
还有很多莫名其妙的对话，比如

Then my soul appeared.
Who are you, I said.
And my soul said,
I am your soul

..wtf 这种废话也叫诗？
还有一段

the light saying
you can see out
but you can't go out

我好像见过一句类似的但是比这一段写得好多了的：

"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave."

还有一段：

I asked myself:
why did I reject my life? And I answer
Die Erde überwältigt mich:
the earth defeats me.

啊不是你这里插一句德语有什么必要啊？是什么英文不能表达的句子吗？为什么讲一句德语还在后面翻译一遍啊？好突兀啊。。
讲了很多 soul 啊 spirit 啊感觉主题也很无聊。。只想说一句啥玩意儿。。
零星的几个段落还是喜欢的：

Tell me this is the future,
I won't believe you.
Tell me I'm living,
I won't believe you.

不知该打两星还是三星。
