Map Writing Vol.3｜分岔的铁轨，一条载人一条载火·牵挂的经纬
一条铁轨运送士兵与火药，一条水路载着日常与谜语。
按语：这是《牵挂的经纬》缅甸地图写作工作坊的第三期作品：在缅甸的地图上，两条路线被写成了诗。
一条路沿着南至仰光、北抵曼德勒的铁轨延伸——这条铁道如今不仅载客运货，也在战事中成为输送军队与物资的动脉，抵抗军在桥与轨间设伏、引爆，让列车在途中停下；另一条路从伊洛瓦底江进入实皆，沿河、穿城、上船，在机器翻译的错句与谜语中辨路。
《错误与聚焦》false & focus
当一座横跨小溪的铁路桥在碎片飞溅中轰然倒塌时，一群抵抗战士抑制不住心中的狂喜。“塌了——彻底塌了！太爽了！”其中一名战士喊道。
As a railway bridge over a small creek explodes in a shower of debris, a group of resistance fighters can’t contain their jubilation. “It’s collapsed – totally collapsed! This is so cool!” shouts one of the fighters.1

《倒立唱歌》Singing upside down
倒立歌唱
战争之战，
进入火中。
登胜胜，
玉石和首饰，
快乐的
如何开放
红土地、
殴打。
延迟
他的玫瑰色演讲。
哦，宝石，
摇滚财富。
请驾驶一辆车又
一辆车。
黄金结果，
黎明
沼泽
黄金境界。
时间 将举行抽奖活动
噢，话语和每一次呼吸。
Singing upside down
War of wars,
enter the fire.
Victory upon victory,
Jade, gems, and ornaments,
Joyful
how to unfold?
Red earth,
beating.
Delay.
His rosy speech.
Oh, jewels,
rocking wealth.
Please drive one car and then
Another.
Golden fruits,
dawn,
swamp,
golden realm.
Time will hold a lottery
Oh, words and every breath.
在mapillary上选择街景，从南边跨过伊洛瓦底江进入实皆，用google lens翻译地图上看到的的路牌、广告和重影。手在屏幕和镜头间反复拂去已有的翻译，又会出现不同的翻译。我把这些句子拼贴起来。
但是我不满意这首拼贴诗。于是我又选择了一条从Seikkyi Kanaungto穿过仰光河，前往仰光的路。照片中似乎是傍晚或清晨，人和狗在街道上行走，路上热闹非凡。然后上船，远处很多吊车巨臂，天色已晚，远处有很多吊车巨臂。岸在很近的地方。一路上路牌模糊，google lens检测不出文字。我觉得在那条路上就是好的。
On Mapillary, I chose a street view and crossed the Irrawaddy River from the south into Sagaing. Using Google Lens, I translated the street signs, advertisements, and ghosted images visible on the map. My hand repeatedly brushed away the existing translations between the screen and the camera, and new translations would appear. I collaged these sentences together.
But I wasn’t satisfied with that collage poem. So I chose another route—one that crosses the Yangon River from Seikkyi Kanaungto toward Yangon city. In the photos, it seemed to be late afternoon or early morning. People and dogs walked along the streets, and the road was full of life. Then came the ferry ride—many cranes loomed in the distance, their giant arms reaching into the darkening or wakening sky. The shore was close by. Along the way, the road signs were blurry; Google Lens couldn’t detect any text. I felt that simply being on that street was good enough.

《Map Writing · 牵挂的经纬》
这是一个从缅甸地图出发的写作专栏，源自《交错带》于春季发起的两场地图写作工作坊。 作品大多游走于真实与虚构之间，采用诗、散文、图片、街景轨迹影像等多种形式。参与者在虚拟街景中寻找那些因地震而刺入心头的图像与词汇，为无法抵达之地赋予感知与意义。 愿我们在遥望中同行。
