（转）中微子

微中子即是耶说之灵魂、佛说之中阴也。

选文
Neutrinos, they are very small.
微中子，极其细小

They have no charge and have no mass.
它们既不带电荷也没有质量

And do not interact at all.
因此全然没有交互作用

The earth is just a silly ball.
对微中子而言，地球只不过是颗愚蠢球体

To them, through which they simply pass,
它们能轻易地穿透

Like dustmaids down a drafty hall,
就像清洁妇走过透风的走廊

Or photons through a sheet of glass.
或像光子穿过一块玻璃

They snub the most exquisite gas,
它们看不起最绝妙精致的气体

Ignore the most substantial wall,
无视最坚固的墙

Cold-shoulder steel and sounding brass,
冷眼对待钢铁与发声作响的铜

Insult the stallion in his stall,
羞辱厩中的种马

And, scorning barriers of class,
并且嘲笑阶级的藩篱

Infiltrate you and me! Like tall,
穿透了你我！像座高耸

And painless guillotines, they fall,
且无痛的断头台，它们掉落

Down through our heads into the grass.
穿过我们的头顶到草地上

At night, they enter at Nepal,
在夜幕低垂时，进入尼泊尔

And pierce the lover and his lass.
且从床底下穿透恋爱中的男人和其情人

From underneath the bed – you call –
你称这种行为

It wonderful; I call it crass.
很棒；但我却视其为愚蠢。
