我三四歲的時候，
00:15
I fell in love with poetry,

就已經愛上了詩歌，
00:17
with the rhythms
and the music of language;

3111
愛上了語言中蘊含著的節奏和旋律；
00:20
with the power of metaphor and of imagery,
3
8912
3643
還有隱喻和意象的力量，
00:24
poetry being the essence
of communication --

12579
2762
詩歌是語言表達的精髓 --
00:27
the discipline, the distillation.

2707
是語言的錘煉與升華。
00:30
And all these years later,
the poems I'll read today

而經過那麼多年，
我今天要朗誦的詩歌

00:38
Well, five years ago, I was diagnosed
with Parkinson's disease.

五年前，我被診斷為
巴金森症。
巴金森症。
00:42
Though there's no cure yet,
9

雖然現在還沒有治愈的方法，
00:44
advances in treatment
are really impressive.

10
32818

但治療方法的進步
很令人佩服。

00:47
But you can imagine
that I was appalled to learn
that I was appalled to learn
11
35985
2990
可是我很詫異的發現
00:50
that women are largely
left out of research trials,
left out of research trials,
12
38999
4494
女性多數被排除於
臨床試驗之外，
臨床試驗之外，
00:55
despite gender-specific
medical findings having demonstrated

13

即便針對性別差異的醫學研究
證實了

00:59
that we are not actually just small men --
14
47062
2659
我們女人不是縮小版的男人 --

01:03
who happen to have
different reproductive systems.

不僅僅只有生殖器官之差。
01:07
Gender-specific medicine
is good for men, too.

17
55142
2829
性別差異醫學對男性也有好處。
01:10
But you bring to a crisis
the person you already are,
the person you already are,
18
58325
4753
但是人的存在，本身就是一個危機
01:15
including the, yes, momentum
that you've learned to invoke

19
63102
3873
包括你通過熱情待人和積極行動
01:18
through passionate caring
and through action,
and through action,
20
66999
3309
所獲得的動力，
這兩者都是在付出的同時
為自己帶來力量。

01:22
both of which require
but also create energy.

So as an activist, I began working
with the Parkinson's Disease Foundation --

所以呢，身為行動主義者
我開始跟巴金森氏症基金會合作 --

01:41
And as a poet, I began working
with this subject matter,

作為詩人，
我也開始研究這個主題，

01:45
finding it tragic, hilarious,
sometimes even joyful.

有時會覺得可悲、可笑，
但有時又覺得很愉快。
但有時又覺得很愉快。
01:50
I do not feel diminished by Parkinson's;
27
98136
2587
我不因為自己患了巴金森氏症而覺得渺小；
01:52
I feel distilled by it,
28
100747
2625
反而覺得自己因此而淨化，
01:55
and I actually very much
like the woman I'm distilling into.
like the woman I'm distilling into.
29
103396
4438
而且我竟然蠻喜歡
被淨化之後的自己。

Growing small requires enormity of will:
31
112569
4050
把自己看得渺小需要強大的意志力：
02:08
just sitting still
in the doctor's waiting room
in the doctor's waiting room
32
116643
2588
靜靜地坐在候診室，
02:11
watching the future shuffle in and out,
33
119255
3586
看著未來在眼前飛逝，
02:14
watching it stoop; stare at you
34
122865
2743
看著它彎腰；凝視著你
02:17
while you try not to look.
35
125632
1962
而你
嘗試躲開它的眼神。
嘗試躲開它的眼神。
02:20
Rare is an exchange:
36
128213
1643
罕見的交流：
02:21
a smile of brief, wry recognition.
37
129880
3143
短暫的笑容，扭曲的臉孔。
02:25
You are the new kid on the block.
38
133917
1799
你初來乍到。
02:28
Everyone here was you once.
39
136192
2160
這裡所有的人
都曾是現在的你。
都曾是現在的你。
02:30
You are still learning that growing small
requires a largeness of spirit

40
138791
4207
你還在學習如何變得渺小
而這，需要你仍然不足的
而這，需要你仍然不足的
02:35
you can't fit into yet:
41
143022
2459
巨大意志：
02:37
acceptance of irritating help
from those who love you;
from those who love you;
42
145505
3949
接受愛你的人
所伸出的令你難受的援手；
所伸出的令你難受的援手；
02:41
giving way and over, but not up.
43
149478
3084
我讓步我託付，但我不卻步。
02:45
You've swallowed hard the contents
of the "Drink Me" bottle,
of the "Drink Me" bottle,
44
153494
3228
你硬吞標示著『喝我』
藥罐裡的藥物，
藥罐裡的藥物，
02:48
and felt yourself shrink.
45
156746
2185
隨後感覺自己變得越來越小。
02:51
Now, familiar furniture looms,
46
159576
2743
那一刻，
熟悉的家具變得模糊

02:54
floors tilt, and doorknobs yield only
when wrestled round with both hands.

地板開始傾斜，
門把要經一番搏鬥才肯屈服。

02:59
It demands colossal patience,
all this growing small:

變渺小這件事
需要龐大的耐心：
需要龐大的耐心：
03:04
your diminished sleep at night,
49
172579
1896
你徹夜難眠，
03:06
your handwriting, your voice, your height.
50
174499
3429
你的字跡、聲音、身高。
03:10
You are more the incredible
shrinking woman

51
178668
3225
你像那萎縮著的偉大女人
03:13
than the Buddhist mystic,
serene, making do with less.

52
181917

遠超越那神秘的僧侶，
那麼的平靜，知足知止。

03:17
Less is not always more.
53
185864
2781
寡未必是眾。
03:21
Yet in this emptying space,
space glimmers,

但在這空曠的世界中，
空間閃耀著，
空間閃耀著，
03:26
becoming visible.

變得清晰。
03:28
Here is a place behind the eyes
of those accustomed

此處的人
習慣了

03:31
by what some would call diminishment.
57
199498
3269
所謂的退化萎縮。
03:35
It is a place of merciless poetry,
58
203468
3675
這裡是無情詩詞處，
03:39
a gift of presence previously ignored,
59
207167
3319
是沉浸在日常的雜亂之中
曾被漠視的寶貴禮物，
曾被漠視的寶貴禮物，
03:42
drowned in the daily clutter.
60
210510
2069

在這裡的
每一個動作皆需動機，
每一個動作皆需動機，

沒有一樣是自動的。
03:53
You can spot it

64
221192
3469
一按動按鈕
03:56
an arm poking at a sleeve,
65
224685
2213
一望向袖口，就能發現它。
03:58
a balancing act at a night-time curb
while negotiating the dark.

who would suspect them to be exercises
in an intimate, fierce discipline,

又有誰會懷疑它們
是私密和嚴謹的進行著，
是私密和嚴謹的進行著，
04:12
a metaphysics of being relentlessly aware?
69
240519

是無情覺知的形上學？
04:16
Such understated power here,
70

短暫的
是那紅雀的花腔，
是那紅雀的花腔，
10:57
then the mourning dove's elegy.
189
645791
2011
和那居喪白鴿的悲歌；

Sable glimmers toward grey;

暗色微微發光的轉灰；
11:02
objects emerge, trailing shadows;

11:31
And when I'm done with daylights,
201
679890
2226
當我告別了日光，
11:34
should those who loved me
grieve too long a while,
grieve too long a while,
202
682140
4961
讓那些曾經愛我的
哀傷過久的
哀傷過久的
11:39
let them remember that I had this hour --

this dark, perfect hour --
204
690378
3608
這黑暗，完美的時刻--
