I traveled across over half of China to Bang you 穿过大半个中国去睡你
By Xiuhua Yu 余秀华
In fact, Bang You or Banged by You is almost the same, nothing but 其实，睡你和被你睡是差不多的，无非是
The banging of two bodies, the blossom stimulated by its power 两具肉体碰撞的力，无非是这力催开的花朵
Nothing but the illusion of spring created by this blossom that misleads us to believe
That life is being re-opened 无非是这花朵虚拟出的春天让我们误以为生命被重新打开
Everything is happening across over half of China: volcanoes ejecting, rivers drying up 大半个中国，什么都在发生：火山在喷，河流在枯
Political prisoners and the homeless are being ignored 一些不被关心的政治犯和流民
Moors and Grus japonensis being aimed at 一路在枪口的麋鹿和丹顶鹤
I went through a hail of bullets and shells to bang you 我是穿过枪林弹雨去睡你
I squeezed countless nights into one morning to bang you 我是把无数的黑夜摁进一个黎明去睡你
I, many many "I", ran into one single “I” to bang you 我是无数个我奔跑成一个我去睡你
Of course I would go strayed chasing some butterflies 当然我也会被一些蝴蝶带入歧途
And mistake some eulogy for spring 把一些赞美当成春天
Mistake Hollywood for my hometown 把一个和横店类似的村庄当成故乡
Yet all these 而它们
Are the reasons absolutely necessary for me to BANG YOU 都是我去睡你必不可少的理由
