許其正：蟬殼(中英對照)

一枚蟬殼

趴伏在一棵龍眼的

樹幹上

我發現了它

在那個炎炎夏午

和我童年時常發現的情形一樣

如今我已中年

回首，只見

童年如那蟬殼……

如果炎炎夏午過去了呢？

如果中年過去了呢？

它是否會仍然完好不變？

The Cicada Shell / Hsu ChiCheng

There was a

Cicada shell lay down

The trunk of a longan

I find it

In a hot summer noon

Just as I found in my childhood

And now I am in the middle age

Turn back to look, I find

My childhood looks like the cicada shell

May it be undamaged

If the hot summer noon is passed？

If the middle age is passed？
