《阅读习惯研究》
当把我的鼻子顶进书本
弥补绝大部分学校的不足，
得知我仍然可以保持得很酷
就是坏了眼睛也在所不惜，
还可以使出惯用的右勾拳
揍身材大过我一倍的卑鄙小人。
后来，戴上了寸把厚镜片的眼镜，
邪恶只是我的欢乐：
是我带着外衣和拥有毒牙
在暗地里过得极为快活。
女人们被我用性制服了！
我掰开她们如同糖松饼。
现在用不着多读了：那个花花公子
在那位英雄来到之前
让姑娘放弃并失望，这小子
㞞人成了店主
这些看起来太司空见惯。去喝个烂醉吧：
书是一堆废物。
A Study of Reading Habits
When getting my nose in a book
Cured most things short of school,
It was worth ruining my eyes
To know I could still keep cool,
And deal out the old right hook
To dirty dogs twice my size.
Later, with inch-thick specs,
Evil was just my lark:
Me and my coat and fangs
Had ripping times in the dark.
The women I clubbed with sex!
I broke them up like meringues.
Don't read much now: the dude
Who lets the girl down before
The hero arrives, the chap
Who's yellow and keeps the store
Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
Books are a load of crap.
Philip Larkin
