【汉英双语】《书海》诗/无心剑

无心剑

书海
The Sea of Books
常苦光阴短，
书海泛西东。
无心逐名利，
尘劳去无踪。
The fleeting time causes my pain,
I sail at my will on the sea of books.
Without heart for fame and gain,
How can worries erode my looks!

译于2007年3月1日。

For the fleeting time I always feel pain,
On the sea of books I sail left and right.
Without any desire for fame and gain,
My earthly worries vanish out of sight!

【醉云译本】
Fleeting time is the cause of my pain
At will I sail the ocean of many books
My heart desires neither fame nor gain
And toils leave no trace on my looks!
【自娱自乐译本】
The Biblio-Sea
No time and tide wait for me,
As I sail on the high biblio-sea.
No desire for any gain or fame,
So no sign of shame or blame.
【普敬译本】
The fleeting time stirs my pain,
I drown myself in myriad books.
I am far from the fame and gain,
Toils leave nothing on my looks.

The Sea of Books
Fleeting time is the cause of my pain
At will I sail the ocean of many books
My heart desires neither fame nor gain
And toils leave no trace on my looks!

谢谢醉云君参与。蛮喜欢你的译本。

醉云

多谢无心君鼓励！ 基本照抄。
你的水平相当好。 还请多多指教！  ;)

无心剑

呵呵，指教谈不上，译友之间平等切磋最好。最后一句译作"Toils leave no trace on my looks"真是非常好，无心剑狠喜欢。

自娱自乐

Ok, I also give it a try for fun...hehehe
常苦光阴短，
书海泛西东。
无心逐名利，
尘劳去无踪。
The Biblio-Sea
So painful as no time would wait for me,
While I'm sailing on the high biblio-sea.
No desire to pursue any gain and fame,
Therefore no sign of shame and blame.

自娱兄译出自己不同的理解，别有一番风味，无心剑狠是喜欢。
第一行的"wait"是不及物动词，是不是要改成"wait for"或及物动词"await"呢？

自娱自乐

yep, you are right.

The Biblio-Sea
No time and tide wait for me,
As I sail on the high biblio-sea.
No desire for any gain or fame,
So no sign of shame or blame.
