主編：廖咸浩
出版社：中華民國筆會
出版日期：2023/12
中華民國筆會英文季刊（曾有《台灣文譯》等名稱，並於2023年春季號改名《譯之華》）自五十一年前由殷張蘭熙女士創刊以來，皆邀請中英文造詣俱佳的優秀譯者，選譯台灣現代文學作品中之傑作出版，並對全球發行。本刊更是全球所有筆會中唯一此類刊物，其餘皆為會員通訊類刊物。季刊所選譯的詩文小說迄今已逾2,789篇，篇篇皆為台灣現代文學具代表性的佳作。季刊的發行也涵蓋七洲五洋，廣為人知。若說筆會的季刊是五十年來台灣最重要的文學外譯與文化輸出管道，應當之無愧。值此季刊初越五十周年的時刻，筆會編譯了這本中英對照選集，讓讀者朋友們一方面能看到五十年來台灣現代文學演變的概貌，另一方面也能欣賞這些傑作經妙筆迻譯之後的另一種風味。
【Excerpt】
〈風箏〉/ 白靈
扶搖直上，小小的希望能懸得多高呢
長長一生莫非這樣一場遊戲吧
細細一線，卻想與整座天空拔河
上去再上去，都快看不見了
沿著河堤，我開始拉著天空奔跑
Kite / Bai Ling
Rising steeply,
How high can a small hope soar?
Isnt a long, long lifetime just such a game?
One thin thread
Straining in a tug of war with the sky
Higher and higher, nearly out of sight
I run along the riverbank
Pulling the sky behind me
Translated by Nancy CHANG ING 殷張蘭熙
* 選自白靈，《五行詩及其手稿》，台北：秀威資訊科技，2010年，頁27。
〈電鎖〉/ 商禽
這晚，我住的那一帶的路燈又準時在午夜停電了。
當我在掏鑰匙的時候，好心的計程車司機趁倒車之便把車頭對準我的身後，強烈的燈光將一個中年人濃黑的身影毫不留情的投射在鐵門上，直到我從一串鑰匙中選出了正確的那一支對準我心臟的部位插進去，好心的計程車司機才把車開走。
我也才終於將插在我心臟中的鑰匙輕輕的轉動了一下「卡」，隨即把這段靈巧的金屬從心中拔出來順勢一推斷然的走了進去。
沒多久我便習慣了其中的黑暗。
The Electronic Lock / Shang Qin
THAT NIGHT the street lights in the area where I live again suffered a power cut just at midnight.
While I was groping for the keys in my pocket, the considerate taxi driver saw to it that he turned the car in such a way that it pointed straight at me; the pitiless glare of the headlights threw the dark shadow of a middle-aged man on the iron gate. It wasnt until I had selected the right key from the bunch and inserted it in the lock of my heart that the considerate taxi driver drove away.
Only then did I carefully turn the key which was inserted in my heart and-click—at once pulled out the ingenious piece of metal from my heart, pushed open the door and entered resolutely. It didnt take me long to get accustomed to the darkness inside.

〈履歷表〉/ 梅新
籍貫：
這一欄空著先別填
因我一時想不起來
但我確定我是有籍貫的
只是暫時忘了
出生年月日：
那年中國黃曆是閏十月
當兩個十月疊在一起時
也正是我誕生的時候
那年的天氣
母親的話竟成了傳說
她說，剪下的臍帶
立即被凍成了冰塊
落在地上還會擊出點點寒光
學歷：
私塾老師的戒尺下
現今仍壓著我一份證件
經歷：
荷槍持望眼鏡
蹲在一棵百年的榕樹上
為一個新興豪華的賭場把風
由於寂寞
對空放了一槍
震驚了賭場內的人
我也就因此失了業
這分履歷表
我還沒有貼照片
你要也可以是你的
Curriculum Vitae / Mei Hsin
Place of Origin:
Ill leave this space blank for the moment
Because I cant remember it
But Im sure I have a place of origin
I just cant remember where right now
Date of Birth (Month, Day, Year):
That was the year Chinas lunar calendar had an intercalary month
An extra tenth month
Thats when I was born
The weather that year...
Mothers words are legend
She said that no sooner was the umbilical cord cut
Than it froze solid
And when dropped onto the floor it gave off an icy gleam
Education:
My certificate from the old style private school
Is still being held beneath the teachers rod
Experience:
Shouldering a gun and holding a pair of binoculars
Sitting in a big old banyan tree
As a lookout for a new luxurious gambling house
Out of loneliness
I fired a shot into the air
Scaring everyone in the house
And so I lost my job
I havent pasted a photo
On this CV yet
You can have it if you like

〈瓶中稿〉/ 楊牧
這時日落的方向是西
越過眼前的柏樹。潮水
此岸。但知每一片波浪
都從花蓮開始——那時
也曾驚問過遠方
不知有沒有一個海岸？
如今那彼岸此岸，惟有
飄零的星光
如今也惟有一片星光
照我疲倦的傷感
細問洶湧而來的波浪
可懷念花蓮的沙灘？
不知道一片波浪喧嘩
向花蓮的沙灘——廻流以後
也要經過十個夏天才趕到此？
想必也是一時介入的決心
翻身 那就已成型，忽然
是同樣一片波浪來了
寧靜地溢向這無人的海岸
如果我靜坐聽潮
觀察每一片波浪的形狀
並自己的未來寫生
像左手邊這一片小的
莫非是蜉生的魚苗？
像那一片姿態適中的
大概是海草，像遠處
那一片大的，也許是飛魚
奔火於夏天的夜晚
不知道一片波浪
湧向無人的此岸，這時
我應該決定做甚麼最好？
也許還是做他波浪
忽然翻身，一時廻流
介入寧靜的海
溢上花蓮的
沙灘
然則，當我涉足入海
輕微的質量不減，水位漲高
彼岸的沙灘當更濕了一截
當我繼續前行，甚至淹沒於
無人的此岸七尺以西
不知道六月的花蓮啊花蓮
是否又謠傳海嘯？
MSS Sealed in a Bottle / Yang Mu
Now the sun sinks where it is the west Beyond the cypress. The waves are
On this shore. I know, of course, each of them
Sets off from Hualien. I was inspired once
When I was a child to ask the ocean whether
There was another shore beyond its faraway edge—
And now the other shore is this, here, with
Stars scattered around
And there are just the scattered stars Shining on my exhausted sentiments
Tenderly asking the surging waves
If they remember the beach of Hualien
I wonder if it takes ten years, too
For the wave, which roars up to the Hualien beach
and ebbs orderly, to travel to this place. I wonder
But I suppose it takes just a determination
To participate: as the wave turns back to the ocean
It assumes the permanent form, as it always does
And, immediately, it flows on this solitary shore
Suppose I sit down quietly and listen to it
And suppose I am observing its form
To figure out a portrait of myself:
Can the little one on the left
Be a fry of fish?
The other one, bigger and rather exquisite
Is probably a blade of sea weed. And farther
There is a sizable one, which may very well be
A skipjack rushing the fishermans light in the summer night
I wonder what I should choose to be
Now, when there is a wave surging near
Toward this solitary shore
Maybe I should just become a wave Turning back and merge, presently
In the peaceful ocean
And flowing up to the beach of
Hualien
But, if I do walk toward the ocean
The waters will rise, due to the law of conservation of mass
And the sand on the other shore will be wetted a little more than usual
And if I keep on walking and even submerge
Seven feet west of the solitary shore
I suspect there will be a rumor in Hualien
Now when it is June, that a tidal wave will engulf the town
