菲利普·悉尼诗选
吕志鲁译
菲利普·悉尼(Philip Sidney 1554—1586)英国诗人
(一)
啊, 月亮
啊, 月亮, 你爬上天空,
步履多么悲伤!
你面色如此苍白,
你闭口无言一声不响!
怎么, 即使在高高的天上,
忙碌的丘比特还在让他的箭派上用场?
真的, 如果那双慧眼明辨爱情,
那你就有了爱的迹象:
我已经看出端倪,
从你那伤感的模样。
即使是出于友谊,
请你告诉我, 月亮,
那里是不是充满恒久的情爱,
只是缺少智慧赖以滋长?
那里的美人是不是孤芳自赏,
与我们人间没有两样?
他们是不是想要得到爱恋,
爱恋者却嘲笑别人堕入情网?
他们如何看待情爱,
是不是把无情无义称作品德高尚?
与月亮谈心,和天神对话,借以发爱情之遐想、述思辨的哲理。原作为抑扬格五音步意大利式十四行诗,末尾两行单独押韵为独特的变体。对照汉译揣摩“describe”超出常规的含义。原文末行的宾语与宾语补足语应颠倒过来方可理解。
With How Sad Steps, O Moon
With how sad steps, O moon, thou climb’st the skies!
How silently, and with how wan a face!
What! may it be that even in heavenly place
That busy archer his sharp arrows tries?
Sure, if that long-with-love-acquainted eyes
Can judge of love, thou feel’st a lover’s case:
I read it in thy looks, ---thy languished grace
To me, that feel the like, thy state descries.
Then, even of fellowship, O moon, tell me,
Is constant love deemed there but want of wit?
Are beauties there as proud as here they be?
Do they above love to be loved, and yet
Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess?
Do they call virtue there ungratefulness?
(二)
我的爱离我而去
我的爱离我而去,
我的爱已化作灰尘;
我的心跟随着你,
一起向高天飞升;
在那永无衰朽的空际,
爱得更加甜蜜香醇;
即使一切消散,
消散也带着温馨。
收敛了音容笑貌,
潜藏起所有智能;
落入那温柔的桎梏,
在那里自由永存;
它拨开了云雾,
它展现了光明;
这光明熠熠生辉,
它启迪着我们的心灵。
啊, 把这光辉牢牢把握,
让这光辉把你引领;
由生一直延伸到死,
去走完这短暂的旅程---
岂不见迷途中邪恶终成邪恶,
妄想登天却美梦难以成真。
永别了, 这个世界,
我已看到了你至高的意境,
亘古不灭的爱,
你在我生命中得到永生。
真爱永恒,生死不渝,即使两人已成隔世,爱会与天地共存,心将随日月同辉。
Leave Me, O Love
Leave me, O Love, which reachest but to dust;
And thou, my mind, aspire to higher things;
Grow rich in that which never taketh rust.
Whatever fades, but fading pleasure brings.
Draw in thy beams, and humble all thy might
To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms be,
Which breaks the clouds, and opens forth the light,
That doth both shine and give us sight to see.
O, take fast hold! let that light be thy guide
In this small course which birth draws out to death---
And think how evil becometh him to slide,
Who seeketh heaven, and comes of heavenly breath.
Then farewell, world; thy uttermost I see:
Eternal Love, maintain thy life in me.
