double blossom到底是什么意思?

是复瓣的花,还是花开了两次?显然从语义上都解释得通,一瓣或一次悲伤,另一瓣或一次快乐。

根据百度翻译double blossom:花畸形病

英文解释:A fungus disease of dewberry and blackberry caused by Fusarium rubi and characterized by witches'-brooms and enlargement and malformation of the flowers.
 
所以这样翻译也解释得通:
 
这个世界,像畸形病的花,打开:
一瓣是悲伤
一瓣是快乐
 
更有可能在这里是多意的,翻成中文很难兼顾。

CONCERT IN THE GARDEN
by Octavio Paz


It rained.
The hour is an immense eye.
Inside it, we come and go like reflections.
The river of music
enters my blood.
If I say body, it answers wind.
If I say earth, it answers where?
The world, a double blossom, opens:
sadness of having come,
joy of being here.

I wander, lost in my own center.
