艾米莉·狄金森(EmilyDickinson)译诗20首(中英文)
艾米莉·狄金森(Emily Dickinson)(1830~1886)
美国隐士女诗人,写过一千七百多首令人耳目一新的短诗。诗风独特,以文字细腻、观察敏锐、意象突出著称。
题材方面多半是自然、死亡、和永生。
我从未看过荒原
我从未看过荒原--
我从未看过海洋--
可我知道石楠的容貌
和狂涛巨浪。
我从未与上帝交谈
也不曾拜访过天堂--
可我好像已通过检查
一定会到那个地方。
I never saw a moor
I never saw a Moor--
I never saw the Sea--
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.
I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven--
Yet certain am I of the spot As if the Checks were given--
云暗
天低又复云暗,
飞过雪花一片。
穿越车辙马圈,
去留择决艰难。
谁人这样待风,
令其整天抱怨。
自然犹如我等,
时常没戴皇冠。
Beclouded
THE sky is low, the clouds are mean, A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind complains all day How some one treated him; Nature, like us, is sometimes caught Without her diadem.
我是无名之辈! 你是谁? (260)
我是无名之辈! 你是谁?
你也是无名之辈吗?
那么我们为一对!
别说! 他们会传开去-- 你知道!
多无聊-- 是-- 某某名人!
多招摇-- 象个青蛙—
告诉你的名字-- 漫长的六月—
给一片赞赏的沼泽!
I'M Nobody! Who are you?
I'M Nobody! Who are you?
Are you--Nobody--too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Dont tell! they'd advertise--you know! How dreary--to be--Somebody!
How public--like a Frog--
To tell your name--the livelong June-- To an admiring Bog!
" 信念" 是个微妙的发明
" 信念" 是个微妙的发明
当绅士们能看见的时候—
但显微镜却是谨慎的
在紧急的时候。
"Faith" is a fine invention "FAITH" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see--
But Microsopes are prudent
In an Emergency.
逃亡
我一听说―逃亡‖这个词
血液就加快奔流,
一个突然的期望,
一个想飞的冲动。
我从未听说敞开的监狱
被战士们攻陷,
但我幼稚的用力拖我的围栏–
snow是什么意思中文
只不过再失败!
Escape
I NEVER hear the word "escape" Without a quicker blood,
A sudden expectation,
A flying attitude.
I never hear of prisons broad by soldiers battered down, But I tug childish at my bars-- Only to fail again!
希望(254)
" 希望" 是物长着羽毛
寄居在灵魂里,
唱着没有词的曲调,
绝无丝毫停息,
微风吹送最为甘甜
暴雨致痛无疑
能够使得小鸟不安
保有此多暖意。
听它越过奇妙大海
飞遍严寒田地
可它不要我面包屑
哪怕饥饿至极。
"Hope"
"HOPE" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest Sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of Me.
Emily Dickinson (1861)
心先要求愉快(536)
心先要求愉快
再要求免除疼痛;
其后,要那些小止痛片
来减轻苦痛;
然后,要求睡觉;
如它法官的愿望
而后应当是
要求的自由。
The heart asks pleasure first
The heart asks pleasure first, And then, excuse from pain; And then, those little anodynes That deaden suffering;
And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor,
The liberty to die.
补偿
为每一个狂喜的瞬间
我们必须偿以痛苦至极,
刺痛和震颤
正比于狂喜。
为每一个可爱的时刻
必偿以多年的微薄薪饷,
辛酸争夺来的半分八厘
和浸满泪水的钱箱。Compensation
For each ecstatic instant We must an anguish pay In keen and quivering ratio To the ecstasy.
