老妓女

　　夜，在阴险地笑，

　　有比白昼更惨白的

　　都市浮肿的跳跃，叫嚣……

　　夜使你盲目，太多欢乐的窗

　　和屋，你走入闹市中央，

　　走进更大的孤独。

　　听，淫欲喧哗地从身上

　　践踏：你——肉体的挥霍者啊，罪恶的

　　黑夜，你笑得象一朵罂粟花。

　　无端的笑，无端的痛哭，

　　生命在生活前匍匐，残酷的

　　买卖，竟分成两种饥渴的世界。

　　最后，抛你在市场以外，唉，那个

　　衰斜的塔顶，一个老女人的象征

　　深凹的窗：你绝望了的眼睛。

　　你塌陷的鼻孔腐烂城一个洞，

　　却暴露了更多别人荒淫的语言，

　　不幸的名字啊，你比他们庄严。

An Old Prostitute

　　Tang Qi

　　The night, is sneering viciously;

　　The jumping of bloated cities

　　Is whiter than the white day, clamouring…

　　The night blinds you; too many joyful windows

　　And houses; you enter into the center of downtown,

　　And enter into greater loneliness.

　　Hark, the lust overrides blatantly on the

　　Body: you — waster of carnal body, the villainous

　　Night, you are smiling like a poppy flower.

　　To smile for no reason, to cry for no reason;

　　Life lies prostrate before subsistence; cruel

　　Business, is divided into two hungry and thirsty worlds.

　　In the end, you are thrown out of the market; alas, the

　　Declining tower top, symbol of an old woman

　　A deep-sunken window: your eyes of despair.

　　Your caved-in nostril is decomposed into a cave,

　　But more incontinent words by other people are revealed.

　　Ill-fated name, O, you are more sublime than them.
