Discrete Sensations 离散的感想

23 May 2020

Wisteria floating, like a ballerina glissading,
紫藤萝花的藤蔓飘荡,像芭蕾舞者滑步,
Weeping beech waving, like an urban dancer freestlying,
垂枝山毛榉的枝叶摆动,像一个编舞者随风而跳,
Airy? Morbidezza? Euphonic?
灵动?柔美?悦耳?
there’s a sensual harmony, brought by wind, brought by force,
有一种身心聚拢,自下而上的和谐,来自风,来自力,
that I can only feel, that I will wholeheartedly feel…
我只能体会,我尽情体会…

I can see the underlying structures vividly, they are always tree-like,
but where do the seeds come from, and who planted them…
我可以看到清晰的底层脉络,它们总是树一样的结构,
但是种子从哪里来,又是谁在种下?
I can see the paths of connections animated, they are almost ubiquitous,
but what is the ultimate shape, a line or a circle…
我可以看到运动的连接路径,它们无处不在,
但是哪个才是最终的形状,一条线还是一个圆…

I am hesitant to make absolute statements, but I believe there is some truth to hetu-phala,
我犹豫下定论,但我认为因果论有些道理,
I do not have enough evidence, but I believe things are interconnected,
我没有足够证据,但我相信事物交错相搭,
I cannot figure out my brain, but I believe it’s a black box,
我无法明白我的大脑,但我知道他是个黑匣子,

I might think in images, although right now it’s only a theory,
我可能用图像思考,不过现在还停留在理论,
I can instantly transform sound that I hear into images that I see in my mind,
我有把听到的声音迅速转成波状图像的能力,
so I can compose and decompose music.
所以我可以组成和分解音乐。
Hopefully it’s a gift! I kind of want to be a pioneer in something with this supposedly natural talent.
希望这是一种天赋!我还挺想用这个假设是天赋的才能在某个领域当个先驱者。
