本文着重探讨了翻译在谢默斯·希尼20世纪70年代以来的创作实践中所起的日益重要的作用，以及翻译如何作为一种转移手段和通往想象中的回家之路。它提供了一个详细的分析序列占据了中心位置在人类链，其中出席并寻求再次调和不同的“声音，我的教育”，即原始的家庭/教区文化的莫斯伯恩和贝拉吉，并获得在圣科伦布学院和皇后大学，为他提供了丰富的语言和文化资产，但他也被判为“移民孤独”（“流浪者”，车站）。《110号公路》说明了这两种遗赠的持久影响，希尼从维吉尔的《埃涅阿斯纪》第六卷中选取了场景和主题，该书详细描述了埃涅阿斯在进入第七十年时的经历，希尼带着读者走上了20世纪中叶回到北方尔爱尔兰动乱前的道路，最初在贝尔法斯特的史密斯菲尔德市场停留，为了拿到一本维吉尔的“二手书”，这本书将成为他的向导。他随后收集的是一本他年轻时的快照相册，这是他留给新生孙女的遗产的一部分。
This essay foregrounds the increasingly significant role translation has played in Seamus Heaney's compositional and creative practices since the 1970s, and how it functions as a means of displacement and route into imagined homecomings. It offers a detailed analysis of the sequence which occupies a central position withinHuman Chain, in which attends to and seeks to reconcile once more the different “voices of my education”, that of originary familial/parish culture of Mossbawn and Bellaghy, and that acquired at St Columb's College and Queen's University that furnished him with rich linguistic and cultural assets, but sentenced him also to a “migrant solitude” (“The Wanderer”,Stations). “Route 110” illustrates the enduring effects of both bequests, as Heaney takes scenes and motifs from Virgil'sAeneid, Book VI, which details Aeneas' experiences on his descent into the seventieth year, Heaney takes readers with him on a road back to pre-Troubles Northern Ireland in the mid-twentieth century, stopping off initially at Smithfield Market, Belfast, in order to pick up a “used copy” of the Virgil that will become his guide. What he subsequently assembles is an album of snapshots of his youth, part of his legacy to his newly-born granddaughter.
