英国诗人Simon Armitage朗读《You're Beautiful》诗歌来到美术馆第三期

2013.03.02 You're Beautiful Simon Armitage because you’re classically trained. I’m ugly because I associate piano wire with strangulation. You’re beautiful because you stop to read the cards in newsagents’ windows about lost cats and missing dogs. I’m ugly because of what I did to that jellyfish with a lollystick and a big stone. You’re beautiful because for you, politeness is instinctive, not a marketing campaign. I’m ugly because desperation is impossible to hide. Ugly like he is, Beautiful like hers, Beautiful like Venus, Ugly like his, Beautiful like she is, Ugly like Mars. You’re beautiful because you believe in coincidence and the power of thought. I’m ugly because I proved God to be a mathematical impossibility. You’re beautiful because you prefer home-made soup to the packet stuff. I’m ugly because once, at a dinner party, I defended the aristocracy and wasn’t even drunk. You’re beautiful because you can’t work the remote control. I’m ugly because of satellite television and twenty-four-hour rolling news. Ugly like he is, Beautiful like hers, Beautiful like Venus, Ugly like his, Beautiful like she is, Ugly like Mars. You’re beautiful because you cry at weddings as well as funerals. I’m ugly because I think of children as another species from a different world. You’re beautiful because you look great in any colour including red. I’m ugly because I think shopping is strictly for the acquisition of material goods. You’re beautiful because when you were born, undiscovered planets lined up to peep over the rim of your cradle and lay gifts of gravity and light at your miniature feet. I’m ugly for saying ‘love at first sight’ is another form of mistaken identity, and that the most human of all responses is to gloat. Ugly like he is, Beautiful like hers, Beautiful like Venus, Ugly like his, Beautiful like she is, Ugly like Mars. You’re beautiful because you’ve never seen the inside of a car-wash. I’m ugly because I always ask for a receipt. You’re beautiful for sending a box of shoes to the third world. I’m ugly because I remember the telephone numbers of ex-girlfriends and the year Schubert was born. You’re beautiful because you sponsored a parrot in a zoo. I’m ugly because when I sigh it’s like the slow collapse of a circus tent. Ugly like he is, Beautiful like hers, Beautiful like Venus, Ugly like his, Beautiful like she is, Ugly like Mars. You’re beautiful because you can point at a man in a uniform and laugh. I’m ugly because I was a police informer in a previous life. You’re beautiful because you drink a litre of water and eat three pieces of fruit a day. I’m ugly for taking the line that a meal without meat is a beautiful woman with one eye. You’re beautiful because you don’t see love as a competition and you know how to lose. I’m ugly because I kissed the FA Cup then held it up to the crowd. You’re beautiful because of a single buttercup in the top buttonhole of your cardigan. I’m ugly because I said the World’s Strongest Woman was a muscleman in a dress. You’re beautiful because you couldn’t live in a lighthouse. I’m ugly for making hand-shadows in front of the giant bulb, so when they look up, the captains of vessels in distress see the ears of a rabbit, or the eye of a fox, or the legs of a galloping black horse. Ugly like he is, Beautiful like hers, Beautiful like Venus, Ugly like his, Beautiful like she is, Ugly like Mars. Ugly like he is, Beautiful like hers, Beautiful like Venus, Ugly like his, Beautiful like she is, Ugly like Mars. 你是美的 舒丹丹 译 因为你得益于古典训练。 我是丑的因为我把钢琴弦和勒杀联系在一起。 你是美的因为你停下来看报刊亭窗上关于猫狗走失的启事。 我是丑的因为我用棒棒糖棍和石块对付那只水母。 你是美的因为对你来说，优雅是天性，不是营销术。 我是丑的因为绝望无法隐藏。 像他那样丑， 像她那样美， 美如维纳斯， 像他那样丑， 像她那样美， 丑如马尔斯。 你是美的因为你信任巧合和思想的力量。 我是丑的因为我证明上帝是一种数学上的不可能。 你是美的因为你爱自家做的汤胜过包装的食物。 我是丑的因为在晚宴上，我曾捍卫贵族，甚至还没有喝醉。 你是美的因为你不会使用遥控器。 我是丑的因为卫星电视和二十四小时滚动新闻。 像他那样丑， 像她那样美， 美如维纳斯， 像他那样丑， 像她那样美， 丑如马尔斯。 你是美的因为你在婚礼和葬礼上哭泣。 我是丑的因为我认为孩子是来自不同世界的另一个物种。 你是美的因为你穿什么颜色都好看，包括红色。 我是丑的因为我认为购物完全是为了 对物质产品的占有。 你是美的因为你出生时，未知的星球排成行，在摇篮边上窥看你，将重力与光的礼物放在你小小的脚边。 我是丑的因为我说“一见钟情”是错误辨识的另一种形式，而所有反应中最显露人性的是幸灾乐祸。 像他那样丑， 像她那样美， 美如维纳斯， 像他那样丑， 像她那样美， 丑如马尔斯。 你是美的因为你从未看过洗车店的里面。 我是丑的因为我总是索要收据。 你是美的因为送了一箱鞋子给第三世界。 我是丑的因为我记得前女友们的电话号码 和舒伯特诞生
