英语翻译
In China,
even the peasants
named their first daughters
Jade―
the stone that in the far fields
could moisten the dry season,
could make men move mountains
for the healing green of the inner hills
glistening like slices of winter melon.
And the daughters were grateful:
They never left home.
To move freely was a luxury
stolen from them at birth.
Instead,they gathered patience;
learning to walk in shoes
the size of teacups,
without breaking―
the arc of their movements
as dormant as the rooted willow,
as redundant as the farmyard hens.
But they traveled far
in surviving,
learning to stretch the family rice,
to quiet the demons,
the noisy stomachs.

There is a sister
across the ocean,
who relinquished her name,
diluting jade green
with the blue of the Pacific.
Rising with a tide of locusts,
she swarmed with others
to inundate another shore.
In America,
there are many roads
and women can stride along with men.
But in another wilderness,
the possibilities,
the loneliness,
can strangulate like jungle vines.
The meager provisions and sentiments
of once belonging―
fermented roots,Mah-Jong tiles and firecrackers―set but
a flimsy household
in a forest of nightless cities.
A giant snake rattles above,
spewing black clouds into your kitchen.
Dough-faced landlords
slip in and out of your keyholes,
making claims you don't understand,
tapping into your communication systems
of laundry lines and restaurant chains.
You find you need China:
your one fragile identification,
a jade link
handcuffed to your wrist.
You remember your mother
who walked for centuries,
footless―
and like her,
you have left no footprints,
but only because
there is an ocean in between,
the unremitting space of your rebellion.
在中国,
  即使是农民
  也会把第一个女儿叫做
  玉,
  在遥远的旷野的石头
  能滋润干燥的季节,
  可以使人移山
  疗愈的绿色的山
  闪闪发光的象片冬瓜.
  女儿们会感激:
  他们从不离开家.
  自由是一件奢侈的事情
  是从她们出生时偷来的.
  相反,她们小心翼翼;
  学习穿小鞋子走路
  鞋子只有茶杯的大小,
  在不破坏,
  动作的仪态
  像柳舞一样轻柔,
  像鸡行一样迟缓.
  但她们却要远行
  继续生存,
  学习延伸家庭大米,(这句不懂)
宁静恶魔,
  以及吵闹的胃.
这段怎么样?
