||1: Covering the period from 1968 to 2011, “Yellow Tulips”, Mr Fenton’s latest collection of new and previously published poems, traces his constant movement from place to place. ||2: In many respects it is remarkable that these poems were written at all. ||3: Some were composed after Mr Fenton fled from Cambodia in 1975, just before it fell to the Khmer Rouge, or in Hong Kong, Germany and the Philippines, where he was posted on various assignments. ||4: They feature downtrodden hotels or bars, diplomatic dinners and country estates, reflecting the life of a journalist who finds himself continually displaced. ||5: He describes student hangovers and heartbreak (and shows the uncanny similarities between the two). ||6: But his most common theme is combat, and how it affects those who have the least say in it, “those whom geography condemns to war”.

||1:芬顿的最新诗集《黄色郁金香》收录了他1968年至2011年间出版的新旧诗篇，从这些诗，我们可以看到他在这段时间辗转于不同地方的经历。||2:从很多方面来说，能写出这样的诗本身便是很神奇的。||3:一些诗歌是在芬顿1975年逃离柬埔寨之后创作的，也就是红色高棉事件发生之前，一些是香港、德国和菲律宾写的。他曾因各种原因被派到这些地方。||4:这些诗歌以那些被剥削压迫的小旅馆或酒吧，外交晚宴还有乡村庄园为背景，反映了诗人长期背井离乡的记者生涯。||5:他描述了学生的宿醉与心碎（并且在他的诗间，我们可见两者之间离奇的相似之处）。||6:而芬顿最常写的其实是“战争”，以及那些在战争中最没发言权的人们，“那些人为艰苦的地理环境所迫，不得不选择战争”。

||1:However well these arguments go down in local planning meetings, they wilt on closer scrutiny.||2:Home ownership is not especially egalitarian.||3:Many households are priced out of more vibrant places.||4:It is no coincidence that the home-ownership rate in the metropolitan area of downtrodden Detroit, at 71%, is well above the 55% in booming San Francisco.||5:You do not need to build a forest of skyscrapers for a lot more people to make their home in big cities.||6:San Francisco could squeeze in twice as many and remain half as dense as Manhattan.

||1:然而，这些理由经不起本地规划会议的仔细斟酌。||2:房屋所有权不是人人均等的。||3:很多家庭被高房价挡在充满活力的地区之外。||4:都市区的房屋所有权比例在日渐式微的底特律都达到71%，这一数字比日益兴旺的旧金山的55%要高得多，这可不是巧合。||5:你不需要建造一片摩天大楼的森林来容纳越来越多在大城市安家的人们。||6:旧金山的面积即便折叠两次，其人口密度也才只有曼哈顿的一半。
