大排挡的小摊主
the vendor of the large stall，
那个胖嫂的脸笑成了一朵花
that plump sister，laughs like a blooming flower
大排挡的小摊主
the vendor of the large stall，
那个瘦哥的眼前飘过的一定不是诗
that lean brother，what floats across him is definitely not poetry
而是诗人口袋里？一张张零散的钞票
but pieces of banknotes from poets’pockets
诗人不是商人？诗人从不比阔
poets are not merchants，for they never compete for extravagance with others，
诗人不是官员？诗人也从不讲排场？
poets are not officials，for they are never ostentatious
一字排开的酒瓶？绿色的酒瓶？

和老巢喝啤酒没有太多的讲究
there is no need to be particular when drinking beer with Lao Cao
一碟水煮花生几根山东大葱
a plate of water-boiled peanuts and several green Chinese onions from Shandong Province
从蓝月亮升起来喝到红亮升起来
from the rising blue moon to the sun rising
一直喝得老巢长发飘飘
drinking till Lao Cao’s hair is floating in the air
两腿发飘？喝得我两眼发直十指发直
and his legs tremble；and till my two eyes are filled with a dull look and my ten fingers are stiff.
这时胖胖的刘不伟
at this moment fatty Liu Buwei
就会迈着猫步猫到我的面前说

as a poet traveling to at least one hundred countries
什么江湖没见过？干
nothing could hinder me bottoms up
我豪壮同时也悲壮地站起来？啪
I stood up，grand and heroic，solemn and stirring Bang
我的酒杯摔成一把水晶状的碎玻璃
my cup broke with a crystal-like crush

可以想像两个各一百公斤的诗人
imagine the capacity for liquor of the two poets with respectively 100Kg
的酒量？想像身高一米九的马永波
imagine that 1.9m in height，Ma Yongbo，
一但动了真感情？和一个他叫大哥的
once getting excited，drinking beer with his brother
一米八以上的诗人喝啤酒时
A 1.8m ——a poet
那憨态可掬的样子？每当这时？
had a charmingly na？ve look at this moment
黄梵？育邦？马龄薯兄弟
brothers such as Huangfan，Yubang，Malinshu
就会很温柔很温柔的坐在那里看热闹
could be gently seated there and watch the fun
杯中的酒总在冒着黄泡可就是不见减少
but the beer in the cups，sending up tawny bubbles，is never lessened
我知道？这是几只石头城里最会唱歌的鸟

我一直算计着哪天到福州和顾北大喝一场？
I am continuously planning a day to go to Fuzhou and have a drink with Gu Dabei
开着个老刀铺子的顾北？我魂迁梦绕
who opens a knife stall and the poet whom I pine for
一直想见的诗人？我知道福州很开放也很好客
a visit to the people I know in Fuzhou who are outgoing and hospitable
但我还是想象着在福州找一片最火爆的大排挡坐下来
but I still think about finding the hottest stall in Fuzhou
和顾北干一次？？对？我们就坐在闽江边喝
and have a happy drink with Gu Bei right we drink the beer at the side of Ming River
对着闽江开酒瓶？对着闽江吹
opening the beer and drinking at the side of it
我们要么不喝？要喝就一瓶一瓶的对着嘴吹？
we never drink but drink one after another bottle
吹？懂吗？抬头挺胸
Drink，do you understand？That is to say，you chin up and chest out
嘴里插着个冲天炮？咕嘟？咕嘟？咕嘟
with a firecracker in the mouth bubble，bubble，bubble，
几个男人在叫劲几个女人在笑
several men have a tactic contest against each other，and
several women laugh happily

那时可能是八月
that was in August
