I could smell the curves of the river beyond the dusk and i saw the last light supine and tranquil upon tideflats like pieces of broken mirror , then beyond them lights began in the pale clear air , trembling a little like butterflies hovering a long way off 隔著蒼茫的暮色我能嗅出河彎的氣味,我看見最后的光線懶洋洋而平靜地依附在沙洲上,沙洲象是許多鏡子的殘片,再往遠處,光線開始化開在蒼白澄澈的空氣中,微微顫動著,就象遠處有些蝴蝶在撲動似的。
