許其正：金龜子(中英對照)

一隻金龜子

趴在一顆透紅碩大的荔枝上

聚精會神地猛吸狂吸它的汁液

想把它的汁液吸乾

結果怎麼樣呢

那顆荔枝除了被吸乾外

竟然很意外地被吸得

滿臉皺紋，乾癟不堪……

金龜子，啊，時間的金龜子

金龜子，啊，時間的金龜子

The May Beetle　 Hsu ChiCheng

There I see a may beetle

It prostrates itself upon a giant litchi

Concentrating only on sucking up its juice

Wanting only to suck it dry

That is the result:

The litchi is sucked dry

Sucked until it is

All wrinkled and wizened

Oh, may beetle, you are the beetle of time
