许其正：金龟子(中英对照)

一只金龟子

趴在一颗透红硕大的荔枝上

聚精会神地猛吸狂吸它的汁液

想把它的汁液吸干

结果怎么样呢

那颗荔枝除了被吸干外

竟然很意外地被吸得

满脸皱纹，干瘪不堪……

金龟子，啊，时间的金龟子

金龟子，啊，时间的金龟子

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
