莎氏流泪的六首商籁

(2009-04-06 08:04:58) 下一个


XXIX.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, (11)
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.


二九

当我受尽命运和人们的白眼,
暗暗地哀悼自己的身世飘零,
徒用呼吁去干扰聋瞆的昊天,
顾盼着身影,诅咒自己的生辰,
愿我和另一个一样富于希望,
面貌相似,又和他一样广交游,
希求这人的渊博,那人的内行,
最赏心的乐事觉得最不对头;
可是,当我正要这样看轻自己,
忽然想起了你,于是我的精神,
便像云雀破晓从阴霾的大地
振翮上升,高唱着圣歌在天门:
  一想起你的爱使我那么富有,
  和帝王换位我也不屑于屈就。

XXX.

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.


三 O

当我传唤对已往事物的记忆
出庭于那馨香的默想的公堂,
我不禁为命中许多缺陷叹息,
带着旧恨,重新哭蹉跎的时光;
于是我可以淹没那枯涸的眼,
为了那些长埋在夜台的亲朋,
哀悼着许多音容俱渺的美艳,
痛哭那情爱久已勾消的哀痛:
于是我为过去的惆怅而惆怅,
并且一一细算,从痛苦到痛苦,
那许多呜咽过的呜咽的旧账,
仿佛还未付过,现在又来偿付。
  但是只要那刻我想起你,挚友,
  损失全收回,悲哀也化为乌有。

XXXI.

Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts,
Which I by lacking have supposed dead,
And there reigns love and all love's loving parts,
And all those friends which I thought buried.
How many a holy and obsequious tear
Hath dear religious love stol'n from mine eye
As interest of the dead, which now appear
But things removed that hidden in thee lie!
Thou art the grave where buried love doth live,
Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone,
Who all their parts of me to thee did give;
That due of many now is thine alone:
Their images I loved I view in thee,
And thou, all they, hast all the all of me.

三一

你的胸怀有了那些心而越可亲
(它们的消逝我只道已经死去);
原来爱,和爱的一切可爱部分,
和埋掉的友谊都在你怀里藏住。
多少为哀思而流的圣洁泪珠
那虔诚的爱曾从我眼睛偷取
去祭奠死者!我现在才恍然大悟
他们只离开我去住在你的心里。
你是座收藏已往恩情的芳塚,
满挂着死去的情人的纪念牌,
他们把我的馈赠尽向你呈贡,
你独自享受许多人应得的爱。
  在你身上我瞥见他们的倩影,
  而你,他们的总和,尽有我的心。


XLII.

That thou hast her, it is not all my grief,
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
That she hath thee, is of my wailing chief,
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders, thus I will excuse ye:
Thou dost love her, because thou knowst I love her;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
But here's the joy; my friend and I are one;
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.

四二

你占有她,并非我最大的哀愁,
可是我对她的爱不能说不深;
她占有你,才是我主要的烦忧,
这爱情的损失更能使我伤心。
爱的冒犯者,我这样原谅你们:
你所以爱她,因为晓得我爱她;
也是为我的原故她把我欺瞒,
让我的朋友替我殷勤款待她。
失掉你,我所失是我情人所获,
失掉她,我朋友却找着我所失;
你俩互相找着,而我失掉两个,
两个都为我的原故把我磨折:
  但这就是快乐:你和我是一体;
  甜蜜的阿谀!她却只爱我自己。

XLIV.

If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
Injurious distance should not stop my way;
For then despite of space I would be brought,
From limits far remote where thou dost stay.
No matter then although my foot did stand
Upon the farthest earth removed from thee;
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land
As soon as think the place where he would be.
But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,
But that so much of earth and water wrought
I must attend time's leisure with my moan,
Receiving nought by elements so slow
But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

四四

假如我这笨拙的体质是思想,
不做美的距离就不能阻止我,
因为我就会从那迢迢的远方,
无论多隔绝,被带到你的寓所。
那么,纵使我的腿站在那离你
最远的天涯,对我有什么妨碍?
空灵的思想无论想到达哪里,
它立刻可以飞越崇山和大海。
但是唉,这思想毒杀我:我并非思想,
能飞越辽远的万里当你去后;
而只是满盛着泥水的钝皮囊,
就只好用悲泣去把时光伺候;
  这两种重浊的元素毫无所赐
  除了眼泪,二者的苦恼的标志。

CXLIII.

Lo! as a careful housewife runs to catch
One of her feather'd creatures broke away,
Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch
In pursuit of the thing she would have stay,
Whilst her neglected child holds her in chase,
Cries to catch her whose busy care is bent
To follow that which flies before her face,
Not prizing her poor infant's discontent;
So runn'st thou after that which flies from thee,
Whilst I thy babe chase thee afar behind;
But if thou catch thy hope, turn back to me,
And play the mother's part, kiss me, be kind:
So will I pray that thou mayst have thy 'Will,'
If thou turn back, and my loud crying still.

一四三

看呀,像一个小心翼翼的主妇
跑着去追撵一只逃走的母鸡,
把孩子扔下,拚命快跑,要住
那个她急着要得回来的东西;
被扔下的孩子紧跟在她后头,
哭哭啼啼要赶上她,而她只管
望前一直追撵,一步也不停留,
不顾她那可怜的小孩的不满:
同样,你追那个逃避你的家伙,
而我(你的孩子)却在后头追你;
你若赶上了希望,请回头照顾我,
尽妈妈的本分,轻轻吻我,很和气。
  只要你回头来抚慰我的悲啼,
  我就会祷告神让你从心所欲。
