顾城的诗善用比喻，彩虹，时钟，红花都是美好的东西，可是眨眼之间却变成了蛇影，深井，血腥这样恐怖阴暗的东西，不由让人感叹韶华易逝，从美好到恐怖阴暗的`变化也只不过是眨眼之间。这么唯美的诗翻译成英文是什么样呢?
《眨眼》
顾城
彩虹，
在喷泉中游动，
温柔地顾盼行人，
我一眨眼……
就变成了一团蛇影。
时钟，
在教堂里栖息，
沉静地嗑着时辰，
我一眨眼——
就变成了一口深井。
红花，
在银幕上绽开，
兴奋地迎接春风，
我一眨眼——
就变成了一片血腥。
为了坚信，
我双目圆睁。
带回现实的陆地。
In those aberrant years, there were some of my "aberrations".
I had firm beliefs,
I never blinked.
A rainbow,
Floating in the fountain,
Cast tender glances at the passers-by.
I blinked
And it became a coiled serpent.
A clocked,
Mounted on a church,
Quietly ticked away the hours.
I blinked—
And it became a deep well.
Red Flowers,
Blooming on the silver screen,
Danced excitedly to the spring wind.
I blinked
And they became a pool of blood.
To maintain my firm beliefs,
I keep my eyes wide open.
