To Autumn 秋頌
?I
Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless,
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells,
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.?
參考中文譯文
霧氣洋溢、果實(shí)成熟的秋,
你和成熟的太陽(yáng)成為伙伴;
你們密謀用累累的珠球,
綴滿茅屋檐下的葡萄藤蔓;
使屋前的老樹背負(fù)著蘋果,
讓熟味透進(jìn)果實(shí)的心中,
使葫蘆脹大,鼓起了榛子殼,
好塞進(jìn)甜核;又為了蜜蜂,
一次一次開放過(guò)遲的花朵,
使它們以為日子將永遠(yuǎn)緩和,
因?yàn)橄募驹缣顫M它們的粘巢。? ? ? ? ? ? ?
II
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cider-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.
參考中文譯文
誰(shuí)不經(jīng)常看見你伴著谷倉(cāng)?
在田野里也可以把你找到,
你有時(shí)隨意坐在打麥場(chǎng)上,
讓發(fā)絲隨著簸谷的風(fēng)輕飄;
有時(shí)候,為罌粟花香所沉迷,
你倒臥在收割一半的田壟,
讓鐮刀歇在下一畦的花旁;
或者,像拾穗人越過(guò)小溪,
你昂首背著谷袋,投下倒影,
或者就在榨果架下坐幾點(diǎn)鐘,
你耐心地瞧著徐徐滴下的酒漿。
?III
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too, -
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river shallows, borne aloft,
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft;
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
參考中文譯文
啊,春日的歌哪里去了?但不要
想這些吧,你也有你的音樂(lè)——
當(dāng)波狀的云把將逝的一天映照,
以胭紅抹上殘梗散碎的田野;
這時(shí)啊,河柳下的一群小飛蟲
就同奏哀音,它們忽而飛高,
忽而下落,隨著微風(fēng)的起滅;
籬下的蟋蟀在歌唱,在園中;
紅胸的知更鳥就群起呼嘯;
而群羊在山圈里高聲默默咩叫;
叢飛的燕子在天空呢喃不歇。
