Because Of A Poem
—— Translation Foreword Of Sophy Chen
To Dazang Chen's Poetry Collection The Elegy Of The Lyre
The First Published Poetry Collection of Dazang Chen
By Sophy Chen
第一次读到大藏的诗是2011年的三月。机缘巧合，我有幸读到了大藏的诗。虽说那个时候读大藏的诗着实感觉比较抽象，要费不少脑细胞，我却像发现了一块新大陆，读了一次又一次。其中有一首诗深深的感动了我。那个时候我才发现，在这样一个纯粹的物质世界里，我们从小到大看到的，听到的，几乎和诗歌无关，诗歌似乎只是古人的事情，在我所处的现实世界似乎绝迹了，至少我身边没有诗，更没有诗人。大藏的诗惊醒了我。诗人并没有绝迹。他们就隐匿在我们当中......
大藏的这首诗深深的感动了我，也拉进了我们的距离，让我们相识相知！接下来的一切，都是因为这首诗的缘故。都来自这首诗的缘起。

《我从未曾想占有你》（十四行）
——《七弦琴的哀歌》之六
大 藏
我从未曾想占有你。精美的器物
它只适合倾注，使灵魂倾心
而亵于把玩；在你面前
我只想成为你伸手可及的物什
或者一颗嗜睡的细胞，隐匿在
你的荣光中，让我代你谛听
忘却倾覆之疼；如果这些都还不够
让我呼号奔走，在你孱弱的边界……
弃绝我，就像弃绝一个中世纪的神话
刻骨铭心却难置于惯常的缄默
当岁月逝远，轻描淡写渐渐定格
一生的空白中没有一个身影
会离你更近——我优游的灵魂
不经意驻留在你尚待填补的风花雪月里
2009.12.15 杭州
“我从未曾想占有你。精美的器物
它只适合倾注，使灵魂倾心
而亵于把玩;”
真正的爱情是两情相悦，互相钦慕。爱一个人就如同珍视一件稀世珍宝，你倾注了所有的情感，去爱去呵护，而并非为了把玩和占有。因为爱是双方面的，单方面的把玩和占有都只会给对方带来痛苦。因此诗人说：如果我爱你，绝不试图占有你，因为我爱你，我会把我的全部身心倾注于你，让我的灵魂对你倾心，从灵魂里爱你。当年我读到这里，除了感动，便是无语了。心中默默的想着，太高深了，这世道，还有人追求这样的爱情？接着诗人大藏进一步说：
“在你面前
我只想成为你伸手可及的物什”
我爱你，在你面前，我什么都不想渴求，我只想做你伸手可及的东西，陪伴在你身边。为爱的牺牲和付出，让人动容。心里默念如果可以遇到这样的爱情，那该多好呀！
“或者一颗嗜睡的细胞，隐匿在
你的荣光中，让我代你谛听
忘却倾覆之疼；如果这些都还不够
让我呼号奔走，在你孱弱的边界……”
我爱你，只为了陪伴在你的身边——那哪里够？让我做“一颗嗜睡的细胞，隐匿在你的荣光中”，让我默默的注视着你的成功，为你默默喝彩；“让我代你谛听”，代你去感受这个世界的光怪陆离，体验人情的冷暖沧桑；让我为你承受一切该承受的，包括人生低谷的倾覆之痛，让我为你承受成功路上的一切痛苦，让你忘却那不愉快的一切。“如果这些都还不够，让我呼号奔走，在你孱弱的边界”，在你最脆弱最需要力量的时候，请让我为你遮风挡雨；在你最危难的时刻，让我为你披荆斩棘，扫平一切障碍……
“弃绝我，就像弃绝一个中世纪的神话
刻骨铭心却难置于惯常的缄默
当岁月逝远，轻描淡写渐渐定格”
爱你， 我已然倾尽所有。如果你不再爱我，你弃绝这生命之恋，就是弃绝一段中世纪的旷世爱情。诗人大藏原诗“弃绝我，就像弃绝一个中世纪的神话”。好孤傲不羁的爱情宣言。诗人向往中世纪惊心动魄、浪漫、只此唯一的爱情，有着中世纪人的那种专一、至情、至爱的古典情怀。诗人也坚信自己就是那矢志不渝爱情的主人公。如果你弃绝我，就是弃绝了一段中世纪的爱情神话。
“刻骨铭心却难置于惯常的缄默”
爱你，如此刻骨铭心，你离开，我痛彻心扉难以释怀，然而我通常会沉默不语，不让我的悲伤表现在你的面前——我们就这样以表面的“惯常的缄默”相互对峙着，也让岁月来慢慢拉开你我之间的距离。但同时我又时常难以抑制自己，我要把对你的爱表达出来，而不是孤守这无情的虚空岁月——做到这一步又何尝容易，有多少人将自己的爱深埋心底，一辈子也不敢表达？！
“当岁月逝远，轻描淡写渐渐定格”
当岁月渐渐地远去， 时间冲淡了世间万般的不舍与深情，你或许可以将我们之间的故事轻描淡写，一带而过；又或者，在你我心中定格成一幅永恒的温馨的画面……往日炽烈而销魂的爱情，如雾霭如潮水般慢慢消褪......
“一生的空白中没有一个身影
会离你更近——我优游的灵魂
不经意驻留在你尚待填补的风花雪月里”
或许你的一生被填的满满的，或许留有空白， 在你人生的空白中，或许留有很多人的影子，但是他们都离你远远地，只有我的身影离你最近，在你的记忆里清晰可见。诗人是多么自信笃定，自己一定会成为所爱之人心中唯一驻留永久的身影。正如诗人大藏说：“一生的空白中没有一个身影会离你更近”。我的灵魂一直在游荡， 散漫的游荡。诗人最后说：“我优游的灵魂不经意驻留在你尚待填补的风花雪月里”。我的灵魂一直在散漫的游荡，也许他会在不经意间停留在你美好的时光里，美好的爱情里。诗人渴望，即便此生不能彼此相爱，自己的灵魂也许会在不经意间驻留在你渴望真爱的生命里，陪你共度美好时光。无论那个时候你是否心有所属。我也渴望自己的灵魂留在你尚待填补的浪漫爱情里，成为你一生中距离最近的幻影。
以上是大藏的汉语十四行诗《我从未曾想占有你》，选自《七弦琴的哀歌》之六，创作于2009.12.15 杭州。成为苏菲英译大藏诗集《七弦琴的哀歌》中的扛鼎之作。
此诗从2014年11月18日首次翻译以来，分别在2015年9月19日、 2021年1月27日、2023年5月30日在广州经过三次矫正。这首诗经过近十年的翻译跨度，从当初对这首诗的汉语原文朦胧的理解有了更加彻底透彻的理解。对大藏原诗的理解上也有了新的理解和解读。英语翻译文本也有了进一步的精炼和优化。
因为这首诗的缘故。因为读到这首诗，令人念念不忘的缘故。我开始阅读大量的新诗。也陆续找回了自己汉语新诗写作的激情。也许是学习外语喜欢挑战陌生感的缘故，也许是大藏汉语诗歌的深深吸引，我更加觉得新诗翻译，特别是汉译英，具有巨大的挑战性和生命意义。在反复阅读大藏诗歌的过程中，便萌生了动手翻译的强烈冲动。给学生上完英语课之后，课余的闲暇时间便着手翻译新诗。特别是大藏的诗。自2011年开始，陆续翻译了一些，即便并没有发表出来。截止目前，即将翻译完成大藏的整部汉语十四行诗集《七弦琴的哀歌》。这本诗集能够翻译完成，一切的一切都是这首诗的缘故。
在大藏《七弦琴的哀歌》翻译出版启动之际，在我的翻译前言里，有太多要写的东西，这部诗集里面有太多让人动容的诗。但广州的初夏，烈日当空，没有一丝风，居住在广州简直犹如天天住在蒸笼里，我又是个惧怕空调的人，简直整日汗流浃背了。这么热的天，有些冰块来降暑，就再好不过了。可冰淇淋雪糕不能多吃，试试冰镇荔枝，或者别的，对了可以拿大藏的诗来降暑！于是接着翻译大藏的汉语十四行集《七弦琴的哀歌》。这本诗集里的部分作品从2011年开始陆续翻译到目前为止，是我翻译时间跨度最大的诗集了。大藏的汉语十四行诗，一个最大的意象，便是雪、雪霓、天堂.....读起来令人哀婉而忧伤，但那种忧伤是美好的，犹如初恋的美好和忧伤。在这个炎热的夏季读大藏的诗，翻译大藏的诗，让人重温初恋的美好和忧伤，那纷飞的雪花，梦幻的雪霓......用来降暑恰恰好！
大藏汉语十四行集《七弦琴的哀歌》，也是诗人大藏第一部正式出版的诗集，将由苏菲英译、苏菲国际翻译出版社、苏菲国际出版传媒、《苏菲诗歌&翻译》（英汉世界纸质诗刊）社、《苏菲世界诗歌翻译书库》(汉英对照），联合编辑出版。

Because Of A Poem
—— Translation Foreword Of Sophy Chen
To Dazang Chen’s Poetry Collection The Elegy Of The Lyre
The First Published Poetry Collection of Dazang Chen
For the first time I read the poems of Dazang Chen on March 2011. By a chance I was fortunate to read the poems of him. At that time it was really abstract to me to read the poems of him and it would take a lot of my brain cells, but I seemed to find a new continent and read it again and again. I was moved by one of the his poems. In such a pure material world from childhood I discovered what we saw and what we hear had almost had nothing to do with poetry at that time and poetry seemed to be the thing of ancient people and it seemed to be extinct in the real world in which I lived, at least there were no poems around me, let alone poets. The poems of Dazang Chen awakened me. The poet is not extinct. They are hidden in us ...
The poems of Dazang Chen deeply moved me, and also pulled into our distance, let us know and understand each other! Everything that follows is because of this poem. It all comes from the origin of this poem.

I've Never Wanted to Possess You (14 lines Poems)
—— The Elegy of the Lyre
by Dazang Chen
I’ve never wanted to possess you. The exquisite artifact
It is only suitable for pouring into the enamored soul
But not for being profaned; in front of you
I just want to be your reachable things
Or a sleepy cell hides
In your glory, let me hear for you
And make you forget your overturning pain; if those are not enough
Let me ran to call for you on your weak boundary …
To reject me just as to reject a medieval myth
It’s unforgettable but hard to keep in a habitual silence
As years passing away, the understatement has gradually frozen
In the blank of life, none of a figure
Would be so close to you — my wandering soul
Inadvertently resides in your romantic times that yet needs to be filled
Translated by Sophy Chen, 2014-11-18 in Guangzhou, first revised by Sophy Chen 2015-09-19 in Guangzhou, second revised by Sophy Chen 2021-01-27 and third revised by Sophy Chen 2023-05-30 in Guangzhou, China.
I’ve never wanted to possess you. The exquisite artifact
It is only suitable for pouring into the enamored soul
But not for being profaned;
Real love is the love that two people love each other and admire each other. To love someone is like cherishing a rare treasure. You pour all your emotions and love to take care of it, but not only to play and possess it because love is the thing of two people, the unilateral play and possession will bring pain to each other. Therefore, the poet said: If I love you, I will never try to possess you, because I love you, I will pour all my body and soul on you, let my soul feel your soul and love you in my soul. When I read these words in the poem here in that year, besides being moved, I was speechless. I was thinking in my mind it was too deep. In such a world, some people were still pursuing such a love? Then the poet Dazang Chen said further:
in front of you
I just want to be your reachable things
I love you, in front of you, I don’t want to be eager for anything and I just want to do a thing which you can reach for you and accompanies you. The sacrifice and dedication for love moves people. In my mind I murmured that if I could encounter such a love, how nice should it be!
Or a sleepy cell hides
In your glory, let me hear for you
And make you forget your overturning pain; if those are not enough
Let me ran to call for you on your weak boundary …
I love you, just to accompany you — where is it enough? Let me be “ a sleepy cell hides in your glory”, let me watch your success silently and applaud you silently; “ let me hear for you”, let me feel the strange world and experience the vicissitudes of human life for you; let me bear everything that should be afforded, including overturning pain of trough life, let me bear all the pain on the road of your success, and make you forget everything unpleasant. “if those are not enough let me ran to call for you on your weak boundary …”, when you are the most vulnerable and need energy the most, please let me cover the wind and rain for you; at your most critical moment, let me cut thorns on your road for you and remove all obstacles ...
To reject me just as to reject a medieval myth
It’s unforgettable but hard to keep in a habitual silence
As years passing away, the understatement has gradually frozen
To love you, I have exhausted everything. If you no longer love me, you reject the love of this life it is that you just abstain from a medieval love.The original poem of poet Dazang Chen “To reject me just as to reject a medieval myth”. So arrogant and unruly love declaration. The poet yearns for the thrilling, romantic, and love only of the Middle Ages with the classic feelings of the best feeling and best love of the Middle Ages. The poet also firmly believes that he is the love protagonist in faith forever. If you abandon me, you just abandon a love myth in the Middle Ages.
It’s unforgettable but hard to keep in a habitual silence
To love you, it’s such unforgettable to me, when you left me, it breaks my heart and I can not release my pain at all, but I usually keep silence and I will not show my sadness in front of you — we just confront each other with the superficial and “ habitual silence” and let the years slowly pull the distance between you and me. But at the same time, I often can not suppress myself and I want to express my love for you, and instead of I’m not just being alone in this ruthless void years— what a difficulty it is to do in this step? How many people have buried their love deep in their hearts and never dared to express it? !
As years passing away, the understatement has gradually frozen
When the years are gradually getting far away, time dilutes a very strong reluctance and affection of world, you may be able to mention the story between us lightly, pass by; or in the heart of you and me it forms an eternal and warm picture ... The fierce and ecstasy love in the past, has been slowly fading like a fog and a tide ...
In the blank of life, none of a figure
Would be so close to you — my wandering soul
Inadvertently resides in your romantic times that yet needs to be filled
Maybe your life is filled full, maybe there is a blank space. In the blankness of your life, there may be a lot of people’s shadows, but they are far away from you. Only my figure is closest to you and it is clearly visible in your memory. How confident the poet is, he will definitely become the only permanent figure in the heart of the one he loves. It is just as the poet Dazang Chen said: “In the blank of life, none of a figure would be so close to you ”. My soul has been wandering and desultory wandering. The poet finally said: “ my wandering soul inadvertently resides in your romantic times that yet needs to be filled”. My soul has always been wandering, maybe he will inadvertently stay in your beautiful time, beautiful love. The poet wishes that even if they can’t love each other in this life, his soul may stay in the life where you long for true love and accompany you to spend a better time. Whether or not you are in love at that time. I also long for my soul to stay in the romantic love you are still waiting to fill, and to be the closest unreal image in your life.
The above is the Chinese 14 Lines Poems I’ve Never Wanted to Possess You, selected in No.6 The Elegy of the Lyre, written in 2009.12.15 in Hangzhou by Dazang Chen. It becomes a masterpiece of Dazang Chen’s Chinese poetry collection The Elegy of the Lyre translated into English by Sophy Chen.
Since the first translation of this poem on November 18, 2014, it has been revised third time by Sophy Chen, on September 19, 2015, January 27, 2021, and May 30, 2023. After nearly ten years of translation span, from the hazy understanding of the original Chinese text of this poem I have a thorough understanding of it and also have a new understanding and interpretation of it and English translation text has also been further refined and optimized.
Because of this poem. Because I read this poem, I could not forgot it. I started reading a lot of Chinese Modern Poems. I have also recovered the passion of writing Chinese Modern Poems. Maybe because of learning foreign languages like challenging strangeness, maybe it is the profound attraction of poems of Dazang Chen, I still more felt the translation of Chinese Modern Poetry, especially the Chinese to English has the huge challenges and life significance. In the process of repeated reading of poems of Dazang Chen, I’ve had a strong impulse to translate them. After giving English classes to my students, in my free time, I started to translate Chinese Modern Poems, especially poems of Dazang Chen. Since 2011, some of his poems have been translated, even if they have not been published till now. Up to the present, I will finish all poems translation of the Chinese 14 Lines Poems collection The Elegy of the Lyre by Dazang Chen. This poetry collection can be translated, and everything is due to this poem.
On the occasion of the translation and publication of The Elegy of the Lyre by Dazang Chen, there are too many things to write in my translation foreword and there are too many moving poems in this poetry collection. But in the early summer of Guangzhou, there is no wind in the scorching sun and there is no wind so living in Guangzhou is like living in a steamer every day. I am also a person who is afraid of air conditioning and then sweating all day. In such a hot day, if there are some ice cubes to lower the heat, it will be very better, but I can not eat too much ice cream. Just try some iced lychee, or something else, ok, we can cool down the heat by poems of Dazang Chen ! And then I just continue to translate Dazang Chen’s Chinese 14 Lines Poems poetry collection, The Elegy Of The Lyre. Some poems in this poetry collection have been translated from 2011 to so far. It is the poetry collection translated by me in the most time span. The biggest image of Dazang Chen’s Chinese 14 Lines Poems is snow, snow rainbow, paradise.....it is painful and sad to read but the sadness is beautiful, just like the beauty and sadness of first love. In this hot summer, to read the poems of Dazang Chen and translate the poems of him, it makes people relive the beauty and sorrow of the first love, the flying snowflakes, and the dreamy snow rainbow... it is just right to low the heat!
