猫（1998）

绝不另属其他猫之名
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
然而除此之外 依然留下一个名字
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over.
那是你永远猜不到的名字
And that is the name that you never will guess.
人类研究发现不到的名字
The name that no human research can discover.
但猫自己知道而永不坦承
But the cat himself knows and will never confess.
当你注意猫在沉思时
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
我告诉你的理由永远相同
The reason l tell you is always the same.
他的心思贯注沉思
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation.
思索着 思索着 思索着
Of the thought…
他的名字
Of his name.
他难以形容的
His ineffable.
永志难忘的
Efface ineffable.
深沉 莫测高深的
Deep and inscrutable.
卓越非凡的
Singular.
