Reading a Letter    Hsu ChiCheng

I don’t know

Whether because there is so deep a love feeling

In this letter that I feel

As if each word in the letter is scalding to the touch

I don’t know

Whether because each word in the letter

Is so scalding to the touch

That I feel as if

The letter is burning

I don’t know

Whether because the letter is burning

That I feel

As if my mind

Is boiling

中文原詩如后:

讀信    許其正

不知道是不是

因為情意太過深濃

以致感覺裡，仿佛

每字每句

炙熱燙人

也不知道是不是

因為字句炙熱燙人

以致感覺裡，仿佛

這信這箋

著火狂燃

更不知道是不是

因為信箋著火狂燃

以致感覺裡，仿佛

我心我意

滾燙沸騰
