천양희 "밥" (중국어 영어 번역)

千良姬（1942- ）

 

〈飯〉

 

吃飯吃很多是因為孤獨，常常這樣說的你

睡覺睡很多是因為無聊，時常這麼說的你

哭很多是因為悲哀，時時如此說的你

我給你寫：

 

把陷入困境的情緒當飯咀嚼吧

命反正是得你自己消化的

（半賓譯）

 

Ch'ōn Yang-hūi (1942- )

 

"Food"

 

To you who said that you ate a lot of food because you're lonely,

To you who told me that you slept a lot for you're bored,

To you who explained that you cried so much because of grief,

I write:

 

Chew the predicaments in your mind as you would your food.

Your life is what you yourself have to digest one way or the other.

(H. Rhew, tr.)

 

韓文原文：

 

천양희 (1942- )

 

"밥"

 

외로워서 밥을 많이 먹는다던 너에게

권태로워 잠을 많이 잔다던 너에게

슬퍼서 많이 운다던 너에게

나는 쓴다

 

궁지에 몰린 마음을 밥처럼 씹어라

어차피 삶은 네가 소화해야 할 것이니까
