小站之站
－－有赠
郑愁予

两列车相遇于一小站，是夜央后四时
两列车的两列小窗有许多是对着的
偶有人落下百叶扉，辨不出这是哪一个所在
这是一个小站……
 
会不会有两个人同落小窗相对
啊，竟是久违的童侣
在同向黎明而反向的路上碰到了
但是，风雨隔绝的十二月，腊末的夜寒深重
而且，这年代一如旅人的梦是无惊喜的

Stopping at a Minor Station
—A Dedication
Zheng Chouyu
 
Two trains meet at a minor station four hours past midnight
Many of the two rows of windows along the two trains face each other
By chance, someone draws the blinds, failing to see what place it is
This is a minor station….
 
Could there be two people sitting by windows facing each other
Ah, old mates from childhood long apart
Meet on the road both going toward dawn but in opposite directions
But this is a deep cold night at year’s end, blocked by wind and rain
Besides, like a traveler’s dreams, these are days of no surprises
