〈在天地之間〉

蘋果

突然停在半空中

不知該繼續往下降

或回到樹上去

當教育委員們

面紅耳赤辯論

重力的問題

附注﹕美國近年保守派的宗教勢力抬頭，迫使有些州的教育委員會通過不再把進化

論列入學校課程，引起爭論。

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH

A falling apple

suddenly stops midair

unsure of whether to continue its course

or to return to the treetop

while the Kansas State Board of Education

argues over the weighty question

of gravity

Note: Several years ago, under the pressure of some American religious groups, Kansas State Board of Education decided to remove the Theory of Evolution from high school curriculum.
