Thanks for the comment. Yes, but I did the deliberate switch for "poetic effect" :)

<p>I have to translate this poem in chinese:</p>
<p>I am still alive, right here and now //
Speeding up immobile in the tangible matter //
I dream the eternal life or death</p>
<p>I found this translation, but I am not sure that this doesn't sound wrong or un-natural. Doesn't the gerund have its translation, doesn't the sense change in this way?</p>
<p>我还活着，就在此时此地  //
在有形的以太中加速不动  //
我梦想着永恒的生或死</p>

I have to translate this poem in chinese:

I am still alive, right here and now //

I found this translation, but I am not sure that this doesn't sound wrong or un-natural. Doesn't the gerund have its translation, doesn't the sense change in this way?

我还活着，就在此时此地 //
在有形的以太中加速不动 //
我梦想着永恒的生或死
