阿尔杰农·查尔斯·斯温伯恩（Algernon Charles Swinburne 1837–1909) 英国诗人
（一）
舞台之爱
帷幕拉开,他们登台演戏两人联袂,
男演国王女演王后最为般配；
泪水化作笑声,笑声却柔如泪水,
这本是她多年的梦想,不料会充满伤悲。
欢乐中唇焦舌燥,痛苦里夜不能寐，
长久的欢乐有刺痛伴随；
当她与半真的情人表演半假的爱情,
她对此一无所知毫无体会。
尽管脚本最后要他们又哭又笑,
让他今天织网明天又去扯碎,
伤害他,作弄他,叫他去死,
他在剧中真的死去,落幕后他满脸热泪。
时光易逝时光无限谁能品出真味?
爱情怎样滋长、欢笑、痛哭又消退?
这一切她开始懂得,开始用心思量,
当取悦一位男士的演出到此收尾。
Stage Love
When the game began between them for a jest,
He played king and she played queen to match the best;
Laughter soft as tears, and tears that turned to laughter,
These were things she sought for years and sorrowed after.
Pleasure with dry lips, and pain that walks by night;
All the sting and all the stain of long delight;
These were things she knew not of, that knew not of her,
When she played at half a love with half a lover.
Time was chorus, gave them cues to laugh or cry;
They would kill, befool, amuse him, let him die;
Set him webs to weave to-day and break to-morrow,
Till he died for good in play, and rose in sorrow.
What the years mean; how time dies and is not slain;
How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again;
These were things she came to know, and take their measure,
When the play was played out so for one man’s pleasure.

爱在海上
登上爱的航船,
我们要去何方?
爱人啊,去还是留,
扬帆还是划桨?
风来八面,前路茫茫,
只有五月才是大好时光;
今天,落入爱的手掌,
我们要去何方?
岸边的风是临死的呼吸,
带着亲吻的悲伤,
欢乐成为以往;
且用玫瑰比喻船舱;
天晓得前路何在,
一心随爱飘荡。
今天,我们落入爱的手掌－－
水手是爱神插上翅膀,
桅杆是鸽子的尖嘴刺向天堂,
甲板由纯金打造,
缆绳如逝去的少女发辫长长,
储备是爱情之箭,
各式各样,无比精良。
今天,我们落入爱的手掌--
爱人,我在何处送你登岸?
是在异国他乡,
还是在故园近旁?
是迎着礼花绽放,
还是朝着雪花飘扬?
或者面对浪花激荡?
今天,我们落入爱的手掌--
爱人说,让我登岸,在那有爱的地方,
只要箭与鸽子,
手与心脏,
亲爱的,这样的海岸,
没有青年驾船出港,
也没有登岸的姑娘。
Love at Sea
Imitated from Théophile Gautier
WE are in love’s land to-day;
Where shall we go?
Love, shall we start or stay,
Or sail or row?
There ’s many a wind and way,
And never a May but May;
We are in love’s hand to-day;
Where shall we go?
Our landwind is the breath
Of sorrows kiss’d to death
And joys that were;
Our ballast is a rose;
Our way lies where God knows
And love knows where.
We are in love’s hand to-day—
Our seamen are fledged Loves,
Our masts are bills of doves,
Our decks fine gold;
Our ropes are dead maids’ hair,
Our stores are love-shafts fair
And manifold.
We are in love’s land to-day—
Where shall we land you, sweet?
On fields of strange men’s feet,
Or fields near home?
Or where the fire-flowers blow,
Or where the flowers of snow
Or flowers of foam?
We are in love’s hand to-day—
Land me, she says, where love
Shows but one shaft, one dove,
One heart, one hand,—
A shore like that, my dear,
Lies where no man will steer,
No maiden land.
