不要温顺地走进那安息的长夜(翻译点评)
吕志鲁译
迪伦·托马斯Dylan Thomas(1914—1953),英国诗人。 面对临终的暮年,诗人希望像自己的父亲一样,老人要如烈火般发光发热。即使双目失明,也充满喜色如流星闪光;即使“生命之火即将熄灭”,也要激昂地“抓住飞驰的太阳唱一支赞歌”。
不要温顺地走进那安息的长夜,
老人在日暮时也需发光发热;
怒吼,怒吼,即使生命之火即将熄灭。
尽管智者的言词不如雷电轰轰烈烈,
尽管深知归于黑暗是不变的法则,
他们不会温顺地走进那安息的长夜。
碧绿的海湾点滴事迹舞姿摇曳,
最后的浪花中好人的呼唤更加清澈,
怒吼,怒吼,即使生命之火即将熄灭。
为时已晚,狂人让太阳徒生悲切,
抓住飞驰的太阳唱一支赞歌,
他们不会温顺地走进那安息的长夜。
严肃的人临近死亡渐渐丧失视觉,
失明的双目象流星闪光充满喜色,
怒吼,怒吼,即使生命之火即将熄灭。
我盼你或祈福或诅咒泪水火样炽烈,
父亲啊,就在这最为悲痛的时刻。
不要温顺地走进那安息的长夜。
怒吼,怒吼,即使生命之火即将熄灭。
DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
