I like for you to be still

—— Pablo Neruda

我喜欢你是寂静的

——聂鲁达（智利）

I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent

and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you

It seems as though your eyes had flown away

and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth

我喜欢你是寂静的，仿佛你消失了一样。

你从远处聆听我，我的声音却无法触及你。

好像你的双眼已经飞离远去，

如同一个吻，封缄了你的嘴。
