河床

樊功生

从前

只有冬天才可以走过去

踩着厚冰

如今夏天也可以了

踏着裂土

说是气候变了

谁都没办法

也有人说水被上游的人截了

去种郁金香

还有人说

是附近建了个高尔夫球场

那个知名科学家又在警告：

说地表温度再升两度

这儿会变成沙漠... 

只是

那些从沙漠里出来的

正在看足球

比谁都富

不知我们在担忧什么？

Riverbed

By Ken Fan 

Long time ago,

Men could only cross in the winter, 

On thick ice. 

Now you can 

In the summer as well, 

On dry earth. 

Heard it's due to the climate change, 

Nothing can be done about it. 

Also heard that water has been redirected,

To grow tulips. 

Or to irrigate the golf course nearby. 

That famous scientist is warning again:

This land will surely become desert, 

if temperature would rise another two degrees. 

Nonetheless, 

Those guys, who are from the desert, 

Are watching football games at the moment, 

Wealthier than anyone.

Not sure why we should be worried.
