又到了爵士乐节的时候
周日，在湖边，有免费演出
草地上坐满了沙滩椅上的人
台前，随着音乐
舞动着男人女人的身体

Time for Jazz Festival again
Sunday, a free show by the lake
The lawn is full of beach chair people
With music, bodies of men and women
sway in front of the stage

来美多年， 发现只有音乐
能够让我认同这个地方
戴着牛仔帽
我也加入扭动的人群

Many years in the U.S., only music
Identifies me with this place
Wearing a cowboy hat
I plunge into the crowd


很少二十岁以下的人
跳舞的，大都四十以上
六十多岁的老女人
一样跳得带劲

Few are under 20
Most dancers are above 40
Women of more than 60
Dance with energy

四五十岁的女人们，
袒露着乳房的上部
看上去跟男人没有不同
只是有点坡度

Women above 40 or 50
Bare the upper part of their breasts
That seem rather un-feminin
Except for the slopes

这是一个无性的世界
只有爵士乐醉人的节奏
柔和地摇晃着人们
像大海摇动着
婴儿的睡床

This is a sex-less world
Only the mesmerizing Jazz music
Gently rocks people
Like the sea
rocks the cradle
of a baby
