【英诗中译】莎士比亚十四行诗第66首

无心剑

    Sonnet 66 何忍吾爱留浊世！
   
    Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
    As to behold desert a beggar born,
    And needy nothing trimmed in jollity,
    And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
    And gilded honor shamefully misplaced,
    And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
    And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
    And strength by limping sway disabled,
    And art made tongue-tied by authority,
    And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,
    And simple truth miscalled simplicity,
    And captive good attending captain ill.
    Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
    Save that to die, I leave my love alone.
   
    厌倦万事求安息，
    眼见良才作乞丐，
    无聊草包披华衣，
    至诚盟誓遭毁坏，
    金冠无耻授鄙夫，
    贞女被逼落风尘，
    君子无端受诟辱，
    壮士入狱成废人，
    艺苑暗哑花不开，
    蠢货作势驭内行，
    误将纯朴当痴呆，
    邪恶横行欺善良。
    厌倦一切欲远离，
    何忍吾爱留浊世！

    厌倦万事求安息，
    济世良才必行乞，
    无知草包披华衣，
    至诚盟誓尽毁弃，
    金冠无耻遭错置，
    贞女被逼做娼妓，
    君子无端千夫指，
    豪杰入狱落残疾，
    艺苑齐喑畏权势，
    蠢夫作样驭贤士，
    误将纯朴当白痴，
    邪恶横行压正义。
    厌倦一切欲远离，
    何忍吾爱留浊世！

    =======================
   
    五浊恶世，颠倒梦想。
    生不足欢，死不足伤。
    权势何惧，无欲则刚。
    率性赋诗，万世流芳！
   
    Because I'm tired of all of these things, I cry out for restful death: deserving people destined to be beggars, and worthless people dressed up in fancy clothes, and sacred vows broken, and rewards and honors shamefully bestowed on the wrong people, and chaste women turned into whores, and people perfectly in the right disgraced with slander, and the strong disabled by authorities who are weak, and artists silenced by authority, and fools controlling the wise like a doctor does the sick, and simple truth mistaken for simplemindedness, and good enslaved by evil. I'm tired of all these things and would like to escape them, except that if I die I'll be leaving the person I love all alone.
   
    因为我厌倦了这一切，我渴望着永久的安息：名副其实的良材注定沦为乞丐，而名不副实的蠢材却衣着华丽，圣洁的盟誓遭受无情的背弃，奖赏荣誉却授予那些受之有愧的家伙，贞妇被迫沦为娼妓，君子遭到中伤诽谤，豪杰被跛足权势摧折成废物，蠢货装腔作势地驾驭贤能，纯朴天真被误作痴呆，邪恶奴役着善良。我厌倦了这一切想要逃离，只可惜，倘若我离世，我爱将在这浊世品尝无尽的孤寂。

    译后记：莎翁十四行诗已有众多名家译文，我又何必作此无用功呢？虽然拙译上不了大雅之堂，可也花费我一番搜索枯肠的心思，至少算与莎翁的文字有了一点肌肤之亲，留下一点芬芳的记忆，仅此而已。

What is said in this sonnet can sort of manifest what China is like right now!
欣赏无心君的佳译，学习，收藏。

无心君，‘世界是你们的...'  长江后浪推前浪，青出于蓝而胜于蓝那！
情必近于痴而始真，
才必兼乎趣而始化。
能闲世人之所忙者，
方能忙世人之所闲。
Only infatuation can manifest sincere passion,
Only interest can nurture talent to its perfection.
Only if a man doesn't  flow with the mainstream,
He'll be able to materialize his cherished dream.

参考
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
济慈想知道莎士比亚写这段独白的时候是在什么位置。我也很好奇。：）

在钱兆明先生的注释里，有一处值得注意。第十行And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill.
folly, doctor-like: 参见荷兰学者伊拉斯摩斯(Desiderius Erasmus, 1469-1536)所著的《愚蠢颂》，(The Praise of Folly, 1509), 文中“愚蠢”(folly)被拟人化为教士，穿着学究的长袍说教。skill, (1) good judgement (i.e. those who have good judgement); (2) ability (i.e. those who are able).

谢谢rlee提供的参考。

共同进步！:share:
PS: 莎翁的第一句restful death让我想起了济慈的夜莺颂，(当然还有Hamlet那段精彩的独白)，可是两个诗人的心境是多么地不同啊。
For many a time,
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath.

Well, for Shakespeare's fans, it is a nice place to browse...
