花间书斋
成功之门原来虚掩着
泰戈尔《迷途鸟》即将出版再复译
宋德利
按：印度大文豪泰戈尔的Stary Birds （传统译为飞鸟集），我做了复译，书名改为《迷途之鸟》，不日即将出版，因此已无法修改。近日突发灵感，又做了补译，增加了韵体版本，即文中的【韵译】。昨天有朋友想看，我便把刚刚完成的70首发给了他。刚才又想，何不发在文学城？我知道，征文活动已经是最后一天，无论发什么稿件，获奖机会几乎等于零。我已经发了好几篇，这篇也许是最后一篇了。我对获奖不抱任何希望，我的态度一直是重在参与，因此决定把这部分新译稿发在这里，是名符其实的刚刚出炉，还冒热气呢。哈哈。我现在发表在这里，对我这部新书稿会有特殊意义，即，将来出版时，我会在序言里写上最初发表在《文学城》上，留下永恒的纪念。我的译稿从书名到具体内容，有不少都是和传统依法不同的，故而曾被专家说是“和名人叫板”，这个名人就是郑振铎。我在序言里已经做了申辩和反驳。也因此烦请读者谅解。最后当然是衷心地希望获城里朋友的慷慨赐教，拜谢啦！
1.
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign.
【散译】
迷途的鸟儿，来到我的窗前，唱唱歌，飞走了。
秋日金黄的叶儿，无歌可唱，飘飘洒洒，叹息一声，坠落在那儿。
【韵译·五绝】
夏日迷途鸟，
莅临我窗前；
婉转歌一首，
飞离舞蹁跹。
秋日金黄叶，
欲唱却无歌；
无奈空叹息，
寂寥飘然落。
【译感】
鸟儿啊，懵懵懂懂因何故？春尽花稀时已违；花枝不是久栖处，应向长空展翅飞。
叶儿啊，你默默无闻，慷慨奉献。你的功绩，超越春夏秋冬。你无须叹息，纵使悄然无声碾作尘，依旧功高盖世应无悔。
O birds, why are you so muddled? You’ve missed the season for spring has ended, nearly flowerless. Yet sprays are not where you should stay. You should spread your wings and fly into the sky.
O leaves, you are unknown to fame; you generously contribute what you have. Your meritorious deeds surmount spring, summer, autumn and winter! It is unnecessary for you to give a sigh. Even you are quietly crushed into dust, your great contributions are still unique throughout the world, for which you should not regret.
2．
O Troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.
【散译】
世上渺小的漂泊者呀，成群结队，把你们的足迹留在我的文字里吧。
【韵译·五绝】
渺小漂泊者，
成群且结队；
深深你足迹，
镌刻我文里。
【译感】
人物虽小，决非一般；万众一心，力大无边。
potatoes are absolutely unusual. They, so long as millions unite as one, would become most powerful.
3．
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
【散译】
世界面对自己的心上人，把它那浩瀚无垠的面具扯下。
它变小了，小如一支歌，小如一次永恒的吻。
【韵译·五绝】
缱倦世情深，
面对心上人；
毅然扯面具，
浩瀚且无垠。
伊人渐变小，
俨然似歌声；
小如一次吻，
悠然到永恒。
【译感】
扯下面具只能露出真容，真容有时未必代表真心。面善心狠者有之，面丑心善者亦有之。
Tearing off mask could only uncover true face. But sometimes true face unnecessarily reflects true heart. There exist either those who look kind but vicious in the heart or those who are kind in the heart but look ugly.
4．
It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.
【散译】

【韵译·七绝】
黄沙惜草情深切，
化作熊熊烈焰烧；
伊人不解摇头去，
百媚翻飞因一笑。
【译感】
爱来临时，不要轻易说不，如果慎重对待，说不定你会爱上他。
Do not say no lightly whenever love comes. Treat it cautiously, maybe you could love him.
6．
If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
【散译】
你思念太阳的时候流泪，那你也会思念群星。
【韵译·俳句】
常常思太阳，
泪水涟涟沾衣裳，
念星情亦长。
【译感】
含泪的思念是真诚的。真诚的思念是苦涩的，也是甜蜜的。
Missing with tears is to be sincere. Sincerely missing is bitter but also sweet.
7．
The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness?
【散译】
舞动的流水呀，你途中的泥沙，在恳求你的歌声和律动。你肯承担跛足的重负吗？
【韵译·七绝】
舞动流水可曾知？
途中泥沙心忒痴；
求你歌声及韵律，
跛足重负肯担持？
【译感】
为他人唱首歌是容易的，为他人提供帮助是困难的，与弱者携手并进更是难上加难。
It is easy to sing a song for others but difficult to provide help to others. Advancing hand in hand with the weak is much more difficult.

Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.
【散译】
她那不无期盼的面庞，犹如夜雨，时常令我魂牵梦萦。

Night rain is like a song. It makes people excited.

现在清醒时却发现你我相亲相爱。
【韵译·俳句】
缠绵你我情，
曾经常入幽幽梦，
今似陌路中。
如今已醒悟，
发现你我情如故，
情深且意笃。
【译感】
梦想与现实有时是水火不容的怨偶，有时是心心相印的情侣。
Dream and reality are sometimes an unhappy couple but at other times a loving couple sharing the same feelings.
10．
Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees.
【散译】
忧伤在我的心中归于宁静，宛如暮色融入寂静的林间。
【韵译·七绝】
忧伤虽在我心中，
却已悄然归宁静；
若雾飘飘入林晚，
暮色苍茫静无声。
【译感】
忧伤不在心中宁静，就在心中发狂。但愿忧伤不要沉渣泛起，如此便可以享受明媚的晨光了。
If sorrow is not hushed into peace in the heart, it will go mad in the heart. If only the dregs of sorrow won’t come to the surface. Thus, we could enjoy the morning light in all its brightness and charm.
11．
Some unseen fingers, like an idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples.

【韵译·七绝】
无形手指闲借风，
悠然一缕酿钟情；
拨动心弦泛涟漪，
妙曲缭绕入晴空。
【译感】
心声不定，有爱则为美乐，无爱则为噪音。
The voice of heart is uncertain. With love, it would become beautiful music; without love, it would become noise.
12．
What language is thine, O sea?
The language of eternal question.
What language is thy answer, O sky?
The language of eternal silence.
【散译】
大海呀，你在述说什么？
在述说那永恒的话题。
天空啊，你在回答什么？
在回答那永恒的沉寂。
【韵译·楹联】
大海述说说尽永恒话题；
天空回答答尽永恒沉寂。
【译感】
大海沉默之日，便是世界末日来临之时。
The day for the sea to becomes quiet is the time for the world to meet its doom.
13．
Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you.
【散译】
听呀，我的心儿，谛听那世界的低语，它正是以此对你示爱。
【韵译·俳句】
我心细细听，
世界窃窃私语中，
对你示爱情。
【译感】
倾诉爱的声音越轻，往往更加真诚凝重。
As for the voice of love revealing, the lighter it is, the more honest and sincere it usually is.
14．
The mystery of creation is like the darkness of night--it is great.
Delusions of knowledge are like the fog of the morning.

创造的神秘犹如夜之幽暗 – 气势雄浑。
知识的玄妙宛若晨之雾霭。
【韵译·楹联】
探索神秘 玄妙犹如夜之幽暗气势雄浑；
创造知识 精深宛若晨之雾霭情怀磅礴。
【译感】
黑暗孕育光明，黑暗也吞噬光明。白天是黑夜的希望，黑夜是白天的归宿。白天在黑夜中产生，白天也在黑夜中消亡。
The darkness is pregnant with the light and the darkness also swallows the light. The day is the hope of the night and the night is the termination of the day. The day is born in the night and the day also dies out in the night.
15．
Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high.
【散译】
切莫因峭壁高耸入云，让爱安坐其上。
【韵译·俳句】
峭壁入云端，
切莫因此心烦乱，
令爱坐其间。
【译感】
爱情的价值不在于高位，而在于坚贞。
The value of love lies in faithfulness and unyieldingness instead of high position.
16．
I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes.
【散译】
今晨我坐在窗前，世界犹如一位路人，在这儿停留片刻，向我点点头，走了。
【韵译·七绝】
今晨静静窗前坐，
世如路人情何堪？
仅仅在此停片刻，
点头向我走天边。
【译感】
我们在世界之窗前也都是匆匆过客。
We are also passers-by in hast before the window of the world.
17．
There little thoughts are the rustle of leaves; they have their whisper of joy in my mind.

The image in mirror is clear and pleasant but it is visionary; the image in mirror is beautiful and amazing but it is reversed.
19．
My wishes are fools, they shout across thy song, my Master.
Let me but listen.

吾愿多迂腐，
小叫又大呼；
穿越你歌声，
洗耳听清楚。

【散译】
我的存在，是一个永恒的奇迹，这一奇迹就是生命。
【韵译·俳句】
只因我存在，
奇迹如花开不败，
命泉滚滚来。
【译感】
肉身无论强弱，一定不能常在，灵魂不分美丑，并非都能永存。只有美到完满，丑到极致，方能在世人心中永存。
Body, whether it is strong or weak, won’t be everlasting; soul, whether it is beautiful or ugly, won’t be able to exist for ever. Only the beauty coming to the pinnacle and the ugliness reaching the climax can exist in the hearts of the people forever.
23．
We, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?"
I am a mere flower.

我不过是花儿一朵。

我如绿叶飒飒吟，
风歌雨唱作和音；
若问沉默谁是我，
小花一朵香在心。

叶，只要有一丝风，就会洋洋得意，但只能发出空洞的响声，花，总是悄然无声，却能散发迷人的芳香。
Leaves, they are always cock-a-hoop so long as there is a breath of air, but they can only give out empty sound; flowers, they are always quiet, but they send forth charming fragrance all the time.
24．
Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes.
【散译】
休憩之于工作，恰如眼睑之于眼睛。
【韵译·五绝】
休憩与工作，
关联妙难说；
眼睑与双眼，
关系差不多。
【译感】
眼睑之于眼睛，犹如双唇之于牙齿。睑破眼伤，唇亡齿寒，一理也。
The eyelids belong to the eyes as the lips to the teeth. When the eyelids are broken, the eyes will be wounded, like when the lips are gone, the teeth will be exposed to the cold. These two cases are as like as two peas.

28．
O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror.
【散译】
啊，美呀，到爱中去判断你自己吧，不要到你镜子的阿谀中去判断。
【韵译·七绝】
判断美丑需公正，
爱中方能说了算；
勿入自家镜子中，
阿谀奉承方寸乱。
【译感】
美，在大爱中净化；美，在阿谀中失真。
Beauty, it gets to be purified in love; beauty, it gets to be untrue in flattery.

The cloud wishes it were a bird.
【散译】
鸟儿愿为一朵云。
云儿愿为一只鸟。
【韵译·楹联】
鸟儿愿为一朵云；
云儿敢做一只鸟。
【译感】
鸟就是鸟，云就是云。空想换位，只是浪漫的幻想。浪漫的幻想，不如朴素的现实。朴素的现实最珍贵，做好自己最重要。
Bird is bird. Cloud is cloud. Vainly hoping to change position is only romantically fancying. Romantic fancy is no better than simple reality. Simple reality is most precious. It is of greatest importance to be a nice self.
