雪莱著名英文诗歌品析

《无常》Mutability

Percy Bysshe Shelley

珀西•比西•雪莱作查良铮译

The flower that smiles to-day

To-morrow dies;

All that we wish to stay

Tempts and then flies.

What is this world’s delight?

Lightning that mocks the night,

Brief even as bright.

今天还微笑的花朵

明天就会枯萎;

我们愿留贮的一切

诱一诱人就飞。

什么是这世上的欢乐?

它是嘲笑黑夜的闪电，

虽明亮，却短暂。

Virtue, how frail it is!

Friendship how rare!

Love, how it sells poor bliss

For proud despair!

But we, though soon they fall,

Survive their joy, and all

Which ours we call.

唉，美德!它多么脆弱!

友情多不易看见!

爱情售卖可怜的幸福，

你得拿绝望交换!

但我们仍旧得活下去，

尽管失去了这些喜悦，

以及“我们的”一切。

Whilst skies are blue and bright,

Whilst flowers are gay,

Whilst eyes that change ere night

Make glad the day;

Whilst yet the calm hours creep,

Dream thou–and from thy sleep

Then wake to weep.

趁天空还明媚，蔚蓝，

趁着花朵鲜艳，

趁眼睛看来一切美好，

还没临到夜晚;

呵，趁现在时流还平静，

作你的梦吧——且憩息，

等醒来再哭泣。

Ode to the West Wind西风颂

I 第一节

O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,

Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead

Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,

Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,

Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,

Each like a corpse within its grave, until

Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow

Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill

(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)

With living hues and odours plain and hill:

Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;

Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh hear!

啊，狂野的西风，你把秋气猛吹，

不露脸便将落叶一扫而空，

犹如法师赶走了群鬼，

赶走那黄绿红黑紫的一群，

那些染上了瘟疫的魔怪——

呵，你让种子长翅腾空，

又落在冰冷的土壤里深埋，

象尸体躺在坟墓，但一朝

你那青色的东风妹妹回来，

为沉睡的大地吹响银号，

驱使羊群般蓓蕾把大气猛喝，

就吹出遍野嫩色，处处香飘。

狂野的精灵!你吹遍了大地山河，

破坏者，保护者，听吧——听我的歌!

关于雪莱著名英文诗歌

Ode to the West Wind西风颂

II 第二节

Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion,

Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,

Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,

Angels of rain and lightning: there are spread

On the blue surface of thine aery surge,

Like the bright hair uplifted from the head

Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge

Of the horizon to the zenith's height,

The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge

Of the dying year, to which this closing night

Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,

Vaulted with all thy congregated might

Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere

Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: oh hear!

你激荡长空，乱云飞坠

如落叶;你摇撼天和海，

不许它们象老树缠在一堆;

你把雨和电赶了下来，

只见蓝空上你驰骋之

忽有万丈金发披开，

象是酒神的女祭司勃然大怒

愣把她的长发遮住了半个天，

将暴风雨的来临宣布。

你唱着挽歌送别残年

今夜这天空宛如圆形的大墓

罩住了混浊的云雾一片，

却挡不住电火和冰雹的突破，

更有黑雨倾盆而下!呵，听我的歌!

Ode to the West Wind西风颂

III 第三节

Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams

The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,

Lull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams,

Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay,

And saw in sleep old palaces and tower

Quivering within the wave's intenser day,

All overgrown with azure moss and flowers

So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou

For whose path the Atlantic's level powers

Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below

The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear

The sapless foliage of the ocean, know

Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear,

And tremble and despoil themselves: oh hear!

你惊扰了地中海的夏日梦，

它在清澈的碧水里静躺，

听着波浪的催眠曲，睡意正浓

朦胧里它看见南国港外石岛旁

烈日下古老的宫殿和楼台

把影子投在海水里晃荡，

它们的墙上长满花朵和藓苔，

那香气光想想也叫人醉倒!

你的来临叫大西洋也惊骇

它忙把海水劈成两半，为你开道，

海地下有琼枝玉树安卧，

尽管深潜万丈，一听你的怒号

就闻声而变色，只见一个个

战栗，畏缩——呵，听我的歌!
