在墨西哥恰帕斯州的丛林里，在没有墙壁的茅草屋里，在几乎一动不动的吊床上，他们在睡觉。

有人说：

如果你梦见一头驴子，就会刮起大风。

如果你梦见玉米饼，你就会看到一头食蚁兽。

如果你梦见一头食蚁兽，人就要来了。

如果你梦见一只白蚁，你就会看到一头美洲豹。

如果你梦见一头美洲豹，人就要来了。

如果那头美洲豹咬了你，来的就不会是人。

如果你梦见自己醒了，你就会在森林里受到惊吓。

如果你梦见一面镜子，你就会看到白色的石头。

如果你梦见自己的舌头，那就要当心了。

都是鸟就意味着要发烧；都是鱼就意味着你的胃会疼。

如果你梦见自己担心价格，你就不用担心价格。

如果你梦见一场聚会，你就会长时间感到无聊。

一只葫芦就是一头美洲豹的头；老旧的独木舟就是一条鳄鱼。

如果你梦见一座房子，你就会看到一头野猪。

如果你梦见一撮胡子，你就会看到一头野猪。

如果你梦见一把扫帚，你就会看到一头野猪。

如果你梦见一台收音机，你就会看到一头野猪。

如果你梦见一位诗人，有人就会哭。

一把猎枪就是一头野兽的牙齿。

豆子是蛆，蛆也是豆子。

如果你梦见自己在写作，你就会被蛇咬一口。

如果你梦见一片湖，那就什么都不是。

如果你梦见一只青蛙，那就什么都不是。

如果你梦见一朵花，那就什么都不是。

如果你梦见天堂，那就什么都不是。

如果你梦见树叶，那就什么都不是，但如果树叶在风中颤动，蚱蜢就会吃掉玉米。

如果你梦见大雾，生病、伤心的人就要来了。

如果你梦见自己知道什么，那你就是不知道。

如果你梦见一圈月晕，世界末日就要到了。

梦里纤细的事物会变得粗壮。

梦里注定的事不会发生。

Lacandons

Eliot Weinberger

In the forest of Chiapas, in thatched huts without walls, in hammocks barely rocking, they sleep.

There it is said:

If you dream of a donkey, there will be a strong wind.

If you dream of tacos, you will see an anteater.

If you dream of an anteater, people are coming.

If you dream of a termite, you will see a jaguar.

If you dream of a jaguar, people are coming.

If the jaguar bites you, they are not people.

If you dream you are waking, you’ll be frightened in the forest.

If you dream of a mirror, you will see white stones.

If you dream of your tongue, beware.

All birds mean fever; all fish mean pain in your stomach.

If you dream you’re worrying about the cost of things, you’ll not have to worry about the cost of things.

If you dream of a party, for a long time you’ll be bored.

A gourd is a jaguar’s head; the old canoe an alligator.

If you dream of a house, you will see a wild boar.

If you dream of a beard, you will see a wild boar.

If you dream of a broom, you will see a wild boar.

If you dream of a radio, you will see a wild boar.

If you dream of a poet, someone will cry.

A shotgun is the tooth of an animal.

Beans are maggots and maggots are beans.

If you dream you are writing, you’ll be bitten by a snake.

If you dream of a lake, it is nothing.

If you dream of a frog, it is nothing.

If you dream of a flower, it is nothing.

If you dream of heaven, it is nothing.

If you dream of leaves, it is nothing, but if the leaves are shaking in the wind, grasshoppers will eat the corn.

If you dream of fog, people are coming who are sad and ill.

If you dream you know something, you do not know it.

If you dream of a halo around the moon, the end of the world is coming.

That which is thin in a dream will be thick.

That which is certain in a dream won’t happen.

风

[1671]

到更⼴阔的世界里去寻找知识吧！

哲学家谈到风都支支吾吾。

它是隐匿的事物之一。

它诞生于创世之后。伊甸园里没有风。

风强烈或温和，持续或多变，普遍或精准。

有的热，有的冷，有的湿润消融，有的干燥收敛。

风聚集云朵又驱散云朵。

风四处流荡，滔滔不绝。风是席卷大地的扫帚。

以一种疯狂的暴力向前推进。

化作清新欢快的飓风。有风之年最为健康。

风来自天空的每一个角落。

有些国家从不下雨，或很少下雨。

但没有一个国家从不刮风，或经常刮。

风的形成有无数种方式。

太阳是风的主要制造者。

风追随流星。

风来自巨大的水体和漂浮在海面上的冰块。

来自燃烧的森林和干枯的草地。

雪的融化带来风。

在大山的顶峰，没有风。

彩虹被风消融。

我们感受到风之前，树林就开始轻声低语。

地下有风，虚无缥缈，反复无常。

你在矿井里就能感受到。

它带着硫磺味，在地震中迸发，从炽热的山脉中喷出烈焰。

洞穴是风的牢笼，有时也会被释放。

在威尔士塞文附近的阿伯巴里的悬崖峭壁上，侧耳就能听到地下的风声。

往达尔马提亚的水井里投一块石头，风就会升起，就好像石头砸破了某个盖子。

白天吹北风。吹散云朵。

大海显得更黑。

风来时，人更有活力、更健康、更贪吃。

但播种时要小心北风。

羊会变得跛脚、眼花、交配不佳。

面对北风，只生母羊，不生公羊。

夜里吹南风。飘忽自由，柔和温润。

聚集并滋润云层，带来雨水。

海浪涌得更高。大海显得更蓝、更明亮。

对果蔬有益，去除溃疡腐蚀。

但人却变得迟钝无趣、食欲不振。

呼吸变得粗重。疾病肆虐。木材和石头出汗。

东风迅疾而干燥，猛烈而庞大。

吸引着云朵，云朵变得更为强大，就如风中的火焰。

引发不绝的雨水。

通常认为东风搞怪，如谚语所言，对人畜无益。

带来蠕虫和毛毛虫，危害水果。对谷物不利。

刮东风时，看得见的事物显得更为庞大。

西风湿润而滋养。

凛冽，吹折树木。

但对草药、花朵和各种蔬菜都很友好。

据说，西风吹拂着黄金时代。

是永恒之春的伴侣。

刮西风时，能听得更远。

风是蒸汽的商人，从一个国家带到另一个国家。

长途跋涉，有时疲惫不堪。

葡萄牙海岸边的哥伦布知道，西风是从某个大陆吹来的。

风是在天上准备好的。

在月食数小时前到来。

猎户座升起，或看不到小星星，风就来了。

日出时云泛红，风就来了。

日落时太阳泛红，风会持续多日。

海员害怕每月的第五天，因为这天的风会让无害的大海伤人。

大海平静无波却轻声低语，风就要来了。

海面上的回声在岸边听得更清楚，风就要来了。

海水悄无声息地涌起，高出平时港口的水位且提前暴涨，风就要来了。

炉火苍白轻声低语，暴风雨就要来了。

炭火发亮火星四溅，风就要来了。

风来之前，树叶、稻草和羽毛开始在地上打转。

一只苍鹭在低云上高飞，意味着风来了。

一只苍鹭孤独地站在沙地上，感伤而忧郁，意味着风来了。

大雁呼唤着雨。

海鸥从海上飞向岸边停留在干燥的陆地上，意味着风来了。

乌鸦飞向河流湖泊聒噪洗浴，暴风雨就要来了，但乌鸦只是走来走去则意味着有风无雨。

猫头鹰的叫声预示着天气将发生变化。

蜘蛛在风来时会更加努力工作，因为知道自己无法在风中织网。

海面平静时，风会从海豚游来的方向吹过来。

猪对风充满着恐惧。

Wind

[1671]

Eliot Weinberger

Seek for knowledge in the greater World!

Philosophers stammer at the wind.

It is one of the secret and hidden things.

It was born after the Creation. There was no wind in Eden.

Winds are vehement or mild, constant or mutable, general or precise.

Some are hot, some cold, some moistening and dissolving, some drying and astringent.

They gather the clouds and disperse them.

They are vagabond and voluble. They are a broom that sweeps the earth.

They drive forward with a mad kind of violence.

They are fresh and merry gales. Windy years are the most healthful.

They come from every region of the sky.

There are countries where it never rains, or seldom.

But there are no countries where the wind never blows, and often.

Winds are made, or engendered a thousand ways.

The Sun is the chief begetter of winds.

The wind follows shooting stars.

Wind comes from great bodies of water, and the ice floating in the sea.

It comes from the burning of forests and dry meadows.

The melting of snow brings the wind.

On the peaks of great mountains, there is no wind.

The rainbow is dissolved by the wind.

The woods murmur before we feel the wind.

There are winds underground, vaporous and mercurial.

You feel them in the mines.

They are sulfurous, sent out in an earthquake, flaming from fiery mountains.

Caves are the prisons of winds, from which they are sometimes set free.

On the rocky cliffs of Aber Barry, near Severn in Wales, if you lay your ear, you can hear the sounds of winds underground.

There are wells in Dalmatia into which, if you cast a stone, winds will rise, as if the stone had broken some covering.

The North wind blows in the day. It scatters the clouds.

It makes the sea look blacker.

When it blows, men are more lively, healthful, and greedy for food.

But beware the North wind when sowing seed.

It makes sheep grow lame and bleary-eyed. It weakens their coupling.

Facing the North wind, they produce ewes and no rams.

The South wind blows in the night. It is wandering and free, soft and mild.

It gathers and nourishes the clouds, bringing rain.

Waves swell higher. The sea looks bluer and more bright.

It is agreeable to plants and fruits, killing their cankers and rust.

But men grow slow and dull and lose their appetites.

Their breath turns rank. Diseases reign. Timber and stones sweat.

The East wind is sharp and dry, vehement and large.

It draws the clouds to it, and they grow stronger, like fire in the wind.

It provokes long rains.

It is thought to be mischievous, neither good for man nor beast, as the proverb says.

It brings worms and caterpillars, hurtful to fruit. It is bad for grain.

In an East wind visible things appear larger.

The West wind is moist and nourishing.

It is vehement, and bends the trees.

But it is friendly to herbs and flowers and all manner of vegetables.

It is said that the West wind blew in the Golden Age.

It is the companion of a perpetual spring.

In a West wind audible things are heard further.

Winds are the merchants of vapors, which they carry from country to country.

They travel on long journeys, and sometimes arrive weary.

Columbus on the coast of Portugal knew that the West wind was blowing from some land.

Winds are prepared in the heavens.

They come hours before the eclipse of the moon.

They come at the rising of Orion, or when the smaller stars are not seen.

When the clouds look red at sunrise, wind is coming.

When the sun looks red at sunset, wind is coming for many days.

Mariners fear the fifth day of the Moon, for its winds make the harmless sea hurtful.

When the sea is smooth and calm, yet makes a murmuring sound, wind is coming.

When the echo of the sea on the shore is heard more clearly, wind is coming.

When the sea swells silently and rises higher than ordinary in the harbor, when the tide comes in sooner than it should, wind is coming.

When the hearth fire looks pale and makes a murmuring sound, a storm is coming.

When the coals shine bright and spark, wind is coming.

Leaves and straw and feathers start swirling on the ground before the wind comes.

A heron flying high over a low cloud means wind.

A heron standing alone in the sand, sad and melancholy, means wind.

Geese cry out for rain.

When seagulls flock from the sea to the shore and stay upon the dry land, wind is coming.

When crows fly to the rivers and lakes, chattering and bathing, a storm is coming, but crows walking up and down mean wind with no rain.

An owl hoots that the weather will change.

Spiders work harder when the wind is coming, knowing they cannot spin their webs in the wind.

When the sea is calm the wind will come from the way the dolphins came.

Pigs are terrified by the wind.
