翻译The Red Wheelbarrow By William Carlos Williams

So much depends upon
a red wheelbarrow
glazed with raind water
beside the white chickens.

第三版

那只承载多少负重倍受依赖的
红独轮推车
明晃晃闪着
饱受岁月风雨浸润的
凝彩釉色

洁白无瑕的鸡群
悠闲的在它旁边笑语欢歌

第二版

无法言说有多依赖一只红色独轮车
它被雨水洗涤得干净明亮如镀上水样的波光
静静停在白色鸡群之旁

第一版
多少人必须依赖
承载着鸡飞狗跳的日子
又饱受日晒雨淋摧残的
一只红色独轮车


谢谢哈哈兄笔记，

译注：
     大嘴四米诗友出题，满坛耸动。诸诗友佳译叠出，实乃文坛一幸事，哈哈不敢错过。William Carlos William 是哈哈景仰的印象派诗仙，其故居离哈哈的居所不远，新州农院的气息，推窗即可呼吸，只是诗人传递的生活关联和自然和谐，仅用一句流出，却非哈哈粗陋的文笔可以写出。田园写生，取意深远，言简意赅，与之意境相似的古诗句，似有王维的《山居秋暝》可参：

 

空山新雨后，天气晚来秋。
明月松间照，清泉石上流。
竹喧归浣女，莲动下渔舟。
随意春芳歇，王孙自可留。

 

… "The key, the master-key to the age," Williams said of the modern movement in literature, "was that jump from the feeling to the word itself: that which had been got down, the thing to be judged and valued accordingly." But we shouldn't forget that poems are made of line-breaks as well as words, and "so much depends", in this poem, on the splitting of the two compound words, "wheelbarrow" and "rainwater". These dissections slow us down, and help the mind's eye to register more: the individual wheels as well as the body of the barrow, the water that is more than raindrops. …” -- 所谓由景生情，可窥一斑。

… "The Red Wheelbarrow" evades what it seems to invite: a simple, visual interpretation. It seems to be absolutely clear, but, at the same time, it's a riddle. Whatever you may decide the poem means intellectually, as an art-object it holds on to its own indelible shape and color. Its images are irrefutable, and no amount of verbal rain will ever wash them from the memory they have entered – nor dull the shiny, spring-like, fresh-paint patina of happiness that this particular wheelbarrow seems to carry. --如果译文过于矫情，难免有咖啡加茶的嫌疑。
