and the future, mature perspective on the future --

用成熟的眼光来看待未来

I'd like to try and bring all those three tenses together

今天晚上，我会尝试去把这三个时态放在

in one identity tonight.

同一个个体上

And you could say that the poet, in many ways,

你可以用很多不同的方法说那是一个诗人，

looks at what I call "the conversational nature of reality."

看到了“现实的对话本质”

And you ask yourself:

你可以问自己

What is the conversational nature of reality?

The conversational nature of reality is the fact

事实上，现实的对话本质是

that whatever you desire of the world --

不论你对这个世界有何渴望--

whatever you desire of your partner in a marriage or a love relationship,

whatever you desire of your children,

不论你对你的小孩有何渴望，

whatever you desire of the people who work for you or with you,

不论你对跟你工作或者为你工作的人有何渴望

or your world --

will not happen exactly as you would like it to happen.

But equally,

但公平地说

whatever the world desires of us --

our industry,

our future demands of us,

And what actually happens

is this frontier between what you think is you

and what you think is not you.

和那个“你认为不是你的你”的边界地

And this frontier of actual meeting

这个边境的相遇

between what we call a self and what we call the world

is the only place, actually, where things are real.

两者相交的边界才是唯一真实的地方

But it's quite astonishing,

但非常惊人的是

how little time we spend at this conversational frontier,

我们在这个对话边界上话的时间太少了

and not abstracted away from it in one strategy or another.

没有用这样那样的策略来从中抽取什么

I was coming through immigration,

我是移民來的

which is quite a dramatic border at the moment,

当时是很富有戏剧化的边境

my powers as a poet and philosopher only go so far.

I'd like to put you in the shoes of my Irish niece,

我希望在座各位想象成是我的爱尔兰侄女

Marlene McCormack,

Marlene McCormack,

standing on a cliff edge on the western coast of Spain,

站在西班牙西岸的悬崖边，

overlooking the broad Atlantic.

眺望着广大的大西洋

Twenty-three years old, she's just walked 500 miles

她二十三岁，刚走了500英里

from Saint Jean Pied de Port on the French side of the Pyrenees,

从位在庇里牛斯山法国那一面的圣让皮耶德波尔，

all the way across Northern Spain,

一路走到西班牙北部，

on this very famous, old and contemporary pilgrimage

这是一趟非常著名、古老、现代的朝圣之旅

called the Camino de Santiago de Compostela --

西班牙文叫「Camino de Santiago de Compostela」

the Path to Santiago of Compostela.

意思是：通往康波斯特拉之圣雅各的道路

And when you get to Santiago, actually,

事实上当你到了圣雅各，

it can be something of an anticlimax,

你可能感到有些扫兴

because there are 100,000 people living there

因为这里有100,000人居住

who are not necessarily applauding you as you're coming into town.

他们不会对你夹道欢迎

(Laughter)

（笑声）

And 10,000 of them are trying to sell you a memento of your journey.

其中10000人会向你推销这趟旅行的纪念品

But you do have the possibility of going on for three more days

但你很有机会在未来三天继续

to this place where Marlene stood, called, in Spanish, Finisterre,

去到這Marlene站立的地方，在西班牙文称为菲尼斯泰爾，

in English, Finisterre,

英文称作菲尼斯泰尔，

from the Latin, meaning "the ends of the earth,"

拉丁文意思为"地球的尽头"

the place where ground turns to ocean;

一个由陆地连接到海洋的地方；

the place where your present turns into the future.

一个帮你从现在转变为未来的地方。

And Marlene had walked this way --

而玛琳走过了这段路–

she just graduated as a 23-year-old from the University of Sligo

她23岁， 刚从斯莱戈大学毕业，

with a degree in Irish drama.

取得了爱尔兰戏剧学位。

And she said to me, "I don't think the major corporations of the world

她对我说：我不认为世界上的大企业

will be knocking on my door."

会找上我的门来。

I said, "Listen, I've worked in corporations all over the world

我说：听着，我数十年来曾在全世界的

for decades;

大企业中工作；

a degree in drama is what would most prepare you for the adult --

戏剧的学位为你进入成人世界做好了最好的准备

(Laughter)

（笑声）

corporate world."

企业世界。

(Applause)

（掌声）

But she said, "I'm not interested in that, anyway.

但她说：反正我对那也没有兴趣。

I don't want to teach drama, I want to become a dramatist.

我不想要教戏剧，我想要成为剧作家。

I want to write plays.

我想要写剧本。

So I walked the Camino in order to give myself some courage,

所以我走了圣雅各的道路，想给我自己一些勇气，

in order to walk into my future."

才能走入我的未来。

And I said, "What was the most powerful moment you had on the whole Camino,

我说：在圣雅各的道路上，你经历到最强大

the very most powerful moment?"

的时刻是什么？

She said, "I had many powerful moments,

她说：有许多强大的时刻，

but you know, the most powerful moment was post-Camino,

但，最强大的时刻是在走完圣雅各的道路之后，

was the three days you go on from Santiago and come to this cliff edge.

是从圣雅各到那悬崖边缘的那三天。

And you go through three rituals.

你要经过三个仪式。

The first ritual is to eat a tapas plate of scallops" --

第一个仪式是要吃一小盘扇贝肉

or if you're vegetarian,

如果你吃素，

to contemplate the scallop shell.

那就凝视着扇贝壳就好。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Because the scallop shell has been the icon and badge of your walk,

因为扇贝壳是你这段步行的象征和标记，

and every arrow that you have seen along that way

而你一路上所见到的每一个箭头，

has been pointing underneath a scallop shell.

都是放在一个扇贝壳的下方。

So really, this first ritual is saying:

所以，其实第一个仪式在说的是：

How did you get to this place?

你怎么到达这个地方的？

How did you follow the path to get here?

你怎么循着路到达这里的？

How do you hold the conversation of life when you feel unbesieged,

当在没有被人围绕时，没有被欺负时，独自一人时，

when you're unbullied,

你如何跟自己进行

when you're left to yourself?

人生的谈话？

How do you hold the conversation of life that brings you to this place?

你如何跟那个把你带到此地的人生谈话？

And the second ritual is that you burn something that you've brought.

而第二个仪式，是你要把你带来的某样东西烧掉。

I said, "What did you burn, Marlene?"

我说：“玛琳，你烧掉了什么？”

She said, "I burned a letter and two postcards."

她说：“我烧掉了一封信和两张明信片。”

I said, "Astonishing.

我说：“好惊人。

Twenty-three years old and you have paper.

23 岁的人会带纸。

I can't believe it."

我都不敢相信。 ”

(Laughter)

（笑声）

I'm sure there's a Camino app

我相信一定有圣雅各道路 app，

where you can just delete a traumatic text, you know?

让你可以删除创伤性文字，你知道吗？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

It will engage the flashlight,

它会配上闪光，

imbue it with color

充满了颜色，

and disappear in a firework of flames.

在火焰中当中消失。

But you either bring a letter or you write one there,

但你若没有带信到那里，你可以在那里写一封，

and you burn it.

然后烧掉它。

And of course we know intuitively what is on those letters and postcards.

当然，我们凭直觉都知道信上和明信片上写的是什么。

It's a form of affection and love that is now no longer extant, yeah?

是现在已经不复存在的感情与爱的一种形式，对吗？

And then the third ritual:

接着，第三个仪式：

between all these fires are large piles of clothes.

在这些火当中的是大堆大堆的衣物。

And you leave an item of clothing

你留下一件帮你抵达

that has helped you to get to this place.

这个地方的衣着物品。

And I said to Marlene, "What did you leave at the cliff edge?"

我对玛琳说：“你在悬崖边缘留下了什么？”

She said, "I left my boots --

她说：我留下了我的靴子–

the very things that I walked in, actually.

就是我穿着走到那里的靴子。

They were beautiful boots, I loved those boots,

那双靴子很漂亮，我很爱它，

but they were finished after seven weeks of walking.

但经过七周的行走之后，它已经没用了。

So I walked away in my trainers,

所以我穿着运动鞋离开，

but I left my boots there."

把我的靴子留在那里。

She said, "It was really incredible.

她说：那真的很难以置信。

The most powerful moment was, the sun was going down,

最强大的时刻是太阳西下，

but the full moon was coming up behind me.

但满月却从我后面升起。

And the full moon was illuminated by the dying sun in such a powerful way

而满月被落日用一种很强大的方式给照亮，

that even after the sun had dropped below the horizon,

即使太阳已经落到地平线之下，

the moon could still see that sun.

月亮仍然能够看见太阳。

And I had a moon shadow,

而我有个月影，

and I was looking at my moon shadow walking across the Atlantic,

我看着这个被月亮照出的影子走过大西洋，

across this ocean.

走过这海洋。

And I thought,

我心想：

'Oh! That's my new self going into the future.'

『喔！那就是我的新自我，走入未来。 』

But suddenly I realized the sun was falling further.

但，突然间，我发现到，太阳又落下更多。

The moon was losing its reflection,

月亮失去了它的反射，

and my shadow was disappearing.

而我的影子消失了。

The most powerful moment I had on the whole Camino

我在这整段道路上经历到最强大的时刻，

was when I realized I myself had to walk across that unknown sea

就是当我了解到，我自己需要走过这个未知的海洋，

into my future."

走入了我的未来。

Well, I was so taken by this story,

我对这个故事非常着迷，

I wrote this piece for her.

我为她写了这个作品。

We were driving at the time;

当时我们在开车，

we got home, I sat on the couch,

我们回到家，我坐在沙发上，

I wrote until two in the morning --

我一直写到半夜两点–

everyone had gone to bed --

每个人都入睡了–

and I gave it to Marlene at breakfast time.
