译爱尔兰诗人叶芝《白鸟》一诗
I
WOULD that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.
亲爱的，我但愿我俩是大海浪花上飞翔的白鸟！
那薄暮之星的蓝火已低悬在天边，
亲爱的，在我们心中唤醒了一种挥之不去的悲伤，
A weariness
comes from those dreamers, dew-dabbled, the lily and rose;
Ah, dream not of them, my beloved, the flame of the meteor that goes,
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers hung low in the fall of the dew:
For I would we were changed to white birds on the wandering foam: I and you!
Ah, dream not of them, my beloved, the flame of the meteor that goes,
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers hung low in the fall of the dew:
For I would we were changed to white birds on the wandering foam: I and you!
那些梦想家，含露的百合和玫瑰已经疲惫不堪;
啊，亲爱的，不要再梦想它们，那些将离去的流星的火焰，
或那低垂在秋天露珠上流连忘返的薄暮之星的蓝火：
因此我但愿我俩变成漂泊在浪花上的白鸟：我和你！
I
am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!
我魂牵梦绕着无数的岛屿，和漫长的达南海滨，
在那儿时间一定会把我们遗忘，悲伤不再降临;
很快我们将会远离玫瑰和百合以及烦恼的火焰，
亲爱的，只愿我们是白鸟，漂浮在大海的波涛上！
