鄉 音

 

我走到哪,都帶著方言

這好比背著家鄉

到處行走

 

都知道我不擅交際

都不知道理由

為愛惜鄉音

在異鄉,我盡量少說話

 

 

Local Accent

Zi Chuan’s Poetry   英譯:張子清

 

 

Wherever I go I speak in my local accent

as if I walk around

with my hometown on my back

 

People know I'm not sociable

but don’t know why

In order to cherish my local accent

I try to speak as little as I can in a strange land

 

Translated into English by Zhang Ziqing
