对原作和翻译的最后一辩

rlee

请注意：To be, or not to be, that is the question中的冠词是定冠词the，即‘这个问题’。我觉得最准确的译文是裘克安先生的。请参看我的另贴。

Before the golden tresses of the dead,
The right of sepulchers, were shore away,
To live a second life on second head --
Ere beauty's dead fleece made another gay.

难道翻译不是'to live a second life on second head'? LOL...

rlee

Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn,
When beauty lived and died as flow'rs do now,
Before these bastard signs of fair were borne,
Or durst inhabit on a living brow --
Before the golden tresses of the dead,
The right of sepulchers, were shore away,
To live a second life on second head --
Ere beauty's dead fleece made another gay.
In him those holy antique hours are seen,
Without all ornament, itself and true,
Making no summer of another's green,
Robbing no old to dress his beauty new;
And him as for a map doth nature store,
To show false art what beauty was of yore.
