西南交通大学中文系教授，博士生导师柏桦，1979年始从事诗歌、随笔创作、文学批评及英美文学翻译活动，陆续在国内外刊物上大量发表作品。下面是是柏桦所作的`《生活》的英译版本，欢迎欣赏!
生活，你多么宽广，像道路
带着政权的气味赶往远方
远方，各族人民在歌唱
大嘴唇、尖声音，加上蓝天和广场
广场呀，生长着漫长而颓唐的农业
饕餮或饥饿在四季里彷徨
一切皆遥远，一切皆无关
热情的自身，死的自身，生活的自身
像一个小孤儿子独坐大地
像缺乏营养的云，像啊……
像生活，干脆就剥竹、毁稻、杀猪
像生活，干脆就在睡眠中，睡梦中清帐
LifeBai Hua
Life, you’re so broad, like a road
carrying the smell of political power rushing on to a place far-off
The far-off place, where the people of all nationalities sing
about a blue sky and a square on the top of big lips and high-pitched voices
The square, where endless and dejected farmers are reared
over the four seasons, voracity or starvation loiter
Everything is far off, nothing is of any importance
life itself, death itself, enthusiasm of itself
Like a little orphaned son sitting alone on the earth
like an undernourished cloud, like oh…
Like life, just stripping bamboo, destroying rice, killing pigs
like living, only in your sleep, squaring accounts in your sleep
(Michael M. Day 译)
