非馬雙語詩作〈同山峰辯論〉刊登於《芝加哥時報》2026.10.9

William Marr’s bilinhgual poem, TO ARGUE WITH A MOUNTAIN, was published in the Chicago Chinese News, 2026.10.9

同山峰辯論

同山峰辯論是徒然的

他盤腿高高坐在那裡

像一個閉目冥思的智者

或俯覽塵世的聖人

任你引經據典力竭聲嘶滔滔雄辯

他都相應不理

偶爾你會聽到有聲音隱約傳來

卻發現只是一两聲饑餓的猿啼

或你自己空洞的回音

TO ARGUE WITH A MOUNTAIN

there is no point in arguing with a mountain

sitting cross-legged

he looks like a lofty sage

or a merciful saint

regardless of your passionate arguments

he remains silent and motionless 

as if in meditation

occasionally you hear something in the air

but find out its only the hungry cry of an ape

or a hollow echo of your own voice
