To See a World in a Grain of Sand

一花一世界

To see a world in a grain of sand

一花一世界

And a heaven in a wild flower,

一沙一天国

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

君掌盛无边

And eternity in an hour.

刹那含永劫

——William Blake

Eternity of Youth

青春永恒

There is a feeling of Eternity in youth,

在青春时有一种永恒的感觉

Which makes us amend for everything.

使人获得了一切的补偿

To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods.

年轻人快乐似神仙

One half of time indeed is flown —

the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures;

虽则半生一晃就过去了

还有下半生带着无限的宝藏,

仍然还给他

储备着

For there is no line drawn,

and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes.

因为前程远大,

希望无穷

We make the coming age our own — the vast,

the unbounded prospect lies before us.

这个新的时代是属于年轻人的。一个广大无边的前景展开在我们面前

I Will Greet This Day with Love in My Heart

Yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.

我爱雨水。它洗净我的灵魂

Rain

雨

Rain is falling all around,

雨儿在到处降落，

It falls on field and tree,

它落在田野和树梢，

It rains on the umbrella here,

它落在这边的雨伞上，

And on the ships at sea.

又落在航行海上的船只。

——by R. L. Stevenson, 1850-1894

Hope Is the Thing with Feathers

希望长着羽毛

Hope is the thing with feathers

希望长着羽毛

That perches in the soul,

栖在灵魂里，

And sings the tune without the words,

唱着无词的乐曲，

And never stops at all.

从来不停息。

And sweetest in the gale is heard;

风越大声越甜；

And sore must be the storm

寻常的风暴

That could abash the little bird

休想嚇倒这双

That kept so many warm.

温暖众生的小鸟。

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,

我曾听她在最寒帶

And on the strangest sea;

最陌生的海上；

Yet, never, in extremity,

却从不因为潦倒

It asked a crumb of me.

向我乞讨丝毫。

——Emily Dickinson

Sonnet 18

十四行诗第十八首

Shall I compare thee1 to a summer’s day?

能否把你比作夏日的璀璨？

Thou art2 more lovely and more temperate:

你却比炎夏更可爱温存；

Rough winds do shake3 the darling buds of May,

狂风摧残五月花蕊娇妍，

And summer’s lease4 hath all too short a date5.

夏天匆匆离去毫不停顿。

Sometime6 too hot the eye of heaven7 shines,

苍天明眸有时过于灼热，

And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

金色脸容往往蒙上阴翳；

And every fair from fair8 sometime declines,

一切优美形象不免褪色，

By chance9, or natures changing course10 untrimed11:

偶然摧残或自然

地老去。

But thy12 eternal summer shall not fade,

而你如仲夏繁茂不凋谢，

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st13;

秀雅风姿将永远翩翩；

Nor shall death brag14 thou wander’st in his shade,

死神无法逼你气息奄奄，

When in eternal lines15 to time thou grow’st16,

你将永生于不朽诗篇。

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

只要人能呼吸眼不盲，

So long lives this17, and this gives life18 to thee.

这诗和你将千秋流芳。

————William Shakespeare

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

雪夜林边小驻

Whose woods these are I think I know.

林主曾相识,

His house is in the village though;

村中有其舍,

He will not see me stopping here

未悉我在此,

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

凝视林中雪。

My little horse must think it queer

小马颇多疑,

To stop without a farmhouse near

荒野何伫立?

Between the woods and frozen lake

林边冻湖间,

The darkest evening of the year.

岁末黑夜里。

He gives his harness bells a shake

小马摇缰铃，

To ask if there is some mistake.

似问有误否，

The only other sound’s the sweep

唯闻飒飒声，

Of easy wind and downy flake.

寒风共雪舞。

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

密林景色美，

But I have promises to keep,

信誓不可移,

And miles to go before I sleep,

安眠不可得，

And miles to go before I sleep.

尚须行数里。

——By Robert Frost

If You Were A Tear-drop In My Eye

如果你是我眼里的一滴泪

If you were a tear-drop; In my eye,

如果你是我眼里的一滴泪

For fear of losing you, I would never cry

为了不失去你;

我将永不哭泣;

And if the golden sun, Should cease to shine its light,

如果金色的阳光;

停止了它耀眼的光芒;

Just one smile from you, would make my whole world bright

你的一个微笑;

将照亮我的整个世界。

9、

I Have Searched A Thousand Years

我寻觅了千万年

I have searched a thousand years,

我寻觅了千万年，

and I have cried a thousand tears.

我哭泣了千万次。

I found everything I need,

我已经找到了需要的一切，

You are everything to me.

你就是我的一切。

10、

For Years I Had Been Searching

我已经寻找了多年

For years I had been searching,

我已经寻找了多年，

for that perfect fantasy,

为了那个美丽的梦想，

But, I find it in my arms,

但是，现在，我发现它就在我的臂弯里，

right now, you are all to me.

你就是我的全部。

11、

When Day Is Done

当时光已逝

When Day Is Done

当时光已逝

If the day is done,

假如时光已逝，

If birds sing no more,

鸟儿不再歌唱，

If the wind has flagged tired,

风儿也吹倦了，

Then draw the veil of darkness thick upon me,

那就用黑暗的厚幕把我盖上，

Even as thou hast wrapt the earth with The coverlet of sleep and tenderly

closed,

如同黄昏时节你用睡眠的衾被裹住大地，

The petals of the drooping lotus at dusk.

又轻轻合上睡莲的花瓣。

From the traverer,

路途未完，行囊已空,

Whose sack of provisions is empty before the voyage is ended ,

衣裳破裂

污损，人已精疲力竭。

Whose garment is torn and dust-laden ,

你驱散了旅客的羞愧和困窘，

Whose strength is exhausted, remove shame and poverty ,

使他在你仁慈的夜幕下，

And renew his life like a flower under

如花朵般焕发生机。

The cover of thy kindly night .

在你慈爱的夜幕下苏醒。

——Tagore

The Most Distant Way In the World

世界上最遥远的距离

The most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not the way from birth to the end.

不是生与死的距离

It is when I sit near you

而是我站在你面前

that you don't understand I love you.

你不知道我爱你

The most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not that you're not sure I love you.

不是我站在你面前

你不知道我爱你

It is when my love is bewildering the soul

而是爱到痴迷

but I can't speak it out

却不能说出我爱你

The most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not that I can't say I love you.

不是我不能说我爱你

It is after looking into my heart

而是想你痛彻心脾

I can't change my love.

却只能深埋心底

The most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not that I'm loving you.

不是我不能说我想你

It is in our love

而是彼此相爱

we are keeping between the distance.

却不能够在一起

The most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not the distance across us.

不是彼此相爱，

却不能够在一起

It is when we're breaking through the way

而是明知道真爱无敌

we deny the existence of love.

却装作毫不在意

So the most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not in two distant trees.

不是树与树的距离

It is the same rooted branches

而是同根生长的树枝

can't enjoy the co-existence.

却无法在风中相依

So the most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not in the being separated branches.

不是树枝无法相依

It is in the blinking stars

而是相互瞭望的星星

they can't burn the light.

却没有交汇的轨迹

So the most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not the burning stars.

不是星星之间的轨迹

It is after the light

而是纵然轨迹交汇

they can't be seen from afar.

却在瞬间无处寻觅

So the most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is not the light that is fading away.

不是瞬间便无处寻觅

It is the coincidence of us

而是尚未相遇

is not supposed for the love.

便注定无法相聚

So the most distant way in the world

世界上最远的距离

is the love between the fish and bird.

是鱼与飞鸟的距离

One is flying at the sky,

一个在天

the other is looking upon into the sea.

一个却深潜海底

——Tagore

Ode to the West Wind

I

O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,

Thou, from whose unseen presence the leavesdead

Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,

Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,

Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,

Each like a corpse within its grave, until

Thine azuresister of the Spring shall blow

Her clariono'erthe dreaming earth, and fill

(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)

With living huesand odoursplainand hill:

Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;

Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh hear!

II

Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion,

Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,

Shookfrom the tangledboughs of Heaven and Ocean,

Angels of rain and lightning: there are spread

On the blue surface of thine aery surge,

Like the bright hair uplifted from the head

Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge

Of the horizon to the zenith's height,

The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge

Of the dying year, to which this closing night

Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,

Vaulted with all thy congregated might

Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere

Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: oh hear!

III

Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams

The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,

Lull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams,

Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay,

And saw in sleep old palaces and towers

Quivering within the wave's intenser day,

All overgrownwith azure moss and flowers

So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou

For whose path the Atlantic's level powers

Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below

The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear

The sapless foliage of the ocean, know

Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear,

And tremble and despoil themselves: oh hear!

IV

If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;

If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;

A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share

The impulse of thy strength, only less free

Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even

I were as in my boyhood, and could be

The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,

As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed

Scarce seem'd a vision; I would ne'er have striven

As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.

Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!

I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!

A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd

One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud.

V

Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:

What if my leaves are falling like its own!

The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,

Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,

My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe

Like wither'd leaves to quicken a new birth!

And, by the incantation of this verse,

Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth

Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!

Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth

The trumpet of a prophecy! Oh Wind,

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

[]

第一节

哦，狂野的西风，秋之生命的气息，

你无形，但枯死的落叶被你横扫

犹如精魂飞遁远离法师长吟，

黄的，黑的，灰的，红得像患肺痨，

染上瘟疫的纷纷落叶四散调零：哦，是你哟，

以车驾把有翼的种子催送到

黑暗的冬床上，它们就躺在那里，

像是墓中的死穴，冰冷，深藏，低贱，

直到阳春，你蔚蓝的姐妹向沉睡的大地

吹响她嘹亮的号角

（如同牧放群羊，驱送香甜的花蕾到空气中觅食就饮）

将色和香充满了山峰和平原：

狂野的精灵呵，你无处不远行；

破坏者兼保护者：听吧，你且聆听！

第二节

在你的川流之上，长空中巨流滔天，

乱云像大地上凋零的树叶，

被西风从天和海交错缠结的枝丫上吹落下来，

成为雨和电的使者：它们飘落

在你缥缈的蔚蓝波涛表面，

有如狂女的飘扬的头发在闪烁

从天穹的最遥远而模糊的边沿

直抵九霄的中天，到处都在摇曳，

欲来雷雨的卷发，对濒死的一年

你唱出了葬歌，而这密集的黑夜

将成为它广大墓陵的一座圆顶，

里面正有你的万钧之力的凝结

那是你的浑然之气，从它会迸涌

黑色的雨、冰雹和火焰：哦，你听！

第三节

是你，你将蓝色的地中海唤醒

而它曾经昏睡了整个夏天，

被澄澈水流的回旋催眠入梦，

就在巴亚海湾的一个浮石岛边，

它梦见了古老的宫殿和楼阁

在水天辉映的波影里抖颤，

而且都生满青苔、开满花朵，

那芬芳真迷人欲醉！呵，为了给你

让一条路，大西洋的汹涌的浪波

把自己向两边劈开，而深在渊底

那海洋中的花草和泥污的森林

虽然枝叶扶疏，却没有精力

听到你的声音，它们已吓得发青，

一边颤栗，一边自动萎缩：哦，你听！

第四节

我若是一片落叶随你飘腾；

我若是一朵流云伴你飞行；

或是一个浪头在你的威力下翻滚

如果我能有你的锐势和冲劲

即使比不上你那不羁的奔放

我若能像在少年时，凌风而舞

便成了你的伴侣，悠游天空

（因为呵，那时候，要想追你上云霄，

似乎并非梦幻），又何至沦落到这等颓丧

祈求你来救我之急。

哦，举起我吧，当我是水波、树叶、浮云！

我跌在人生的荆棘上，我在流血！

这被岁月的重轭所制服的生命

原是和你一样：骄傲、轻捷而不驯。

第五节

把我当作你的竖琴，当作那树丛：

尽管我的叶落了，那有什么关系！

你那非凡和谐的慷慨激越之情

定能从森林和我同奏出深沉的秋韵，

甜美而带苍凉。给我你迅猛的劲头，

狂暴的精灵！化成我吧，借你的锋芒！

请把我尘封的思想散落在宇宙

让它像枯叶一样促成新的生命！

哦，请听从这一篇符咒似的诗歌，

就把我的心声，像是灰烬和火星

从还未熄灭的炉火向人间播散！

让预言的喇叭通过我的嘴巴

把昏睡的大地唤醒吧！哦，西风啊，

如果冬天来了，春天还会远吗？

When You are Old

当你年老时

When you are old and grey and full of sleep.

当你年老，鬓斑，睡意昏沉，

And nodding by the fire, take down this book.

在炉旁打盹时，取下这本书，

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

慢慢诵读，梦忆从前你双眸

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.

神色柔和，眼波中倒影深深；

How many loved your moments of glad grace.

多少人爱你风韵妩媚的时光，

And loved your beauty with love false or true.

爱你的美丽出自假意或真情，

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you.

但唯有一人爱你灵魂的至诚，

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

爱你渐衰的脸上愁苦的风霜；

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

弯下身子，在炽红的壁炉边，

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

忧伤地低诉，爱神如何逃走，

And paced upon the mountains overhead

在头顶上的群山巅漫步闲游，

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

把他的面孔隐没在繁星中间。

——William Butler Yeats

5、

I Ioved You

我曾经爱过你

I loved you; and perhaps I love you still,

我曾经爱过你；爱情，也许，

The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished; yet

在我的心灵里还没有完全消失；

It burns so quietly within my soul,

但愿它不会再去打扰你；

No longer should you feel distressed by it.

我也不想再使你难过悲伤。

Silently and hopelessly I loved you,

我曾经默默无语地，毫无指望的爱过你，

At times too jealous and at times too shy;

我既忍着羞怯，又忍受着妒忌的折磨；

God grant you find another who will love you

我曾经那样真诚，那样温柔的爱过你

As tenderly and truthfully as I.

但愿上帝保佑你，另一个人也会像我一

样爱你。

——普希金

The Road Not Taken 未选择的路

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

黄色的树林里分出两条路，

And sorry I could not travel both

可惜我不能同时去涉足，

And be one traveler, long I stood

我向那路口久久伫立，

And looked down one as far as I could

我向着一条路极目望去，

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

直到它消失在丛林深处。

Then took the other, as just as fair,

但我却选了另外一条路，

And having perhaps the better claim,

它芳草萋萋.

十分幽寂，

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

显得更诱人，更美丽：

Though as for that the passing there

虽然在这条小路上，

Had worn them really about the same,

很少留下旅人的足迹。

And both that morning equally lay

那天清晨落叶满地，

In leaves no step had trodden black.

两条路都未经脚印污染。

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

啊，留下一条路等改日再见!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

但我知道路径延绵无尽头，

I doubted if I should ever come back.

恐怕我难以再回返。

I shall be telling this with a sigh

也许多少年后在某个地方，

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

我将轻声叹息将往事回顾：

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

一片树林里分出两条路——

I took the one. less traveled by,

而我选择了人迹更少的一条

And that has made all the difference.

从此决定了我一生的道路。

——Robert •Frost

Bright Star

明亮的星

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art

明亮的星，但愿我能如你坚定

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

明亮的星，但愿我能如你坚定

And Watching, with eternal lids apart,

睁着一双永不合拢的眼睛，

Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

犹如苦修的隐士彻夜无眠，

The moving waters at their priestlike task

凝视海水冲洗尘世的崖岸，

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

好似牧师行施净体的沐浴，

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

或正俯瞰下界的荒原与群山

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors

或正俯瞰下界的荒原与群山

No-yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,

并非这样---

却永远坚定如故，

Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

枕卧在我美丽的爱人的胸膛，

To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,

永远能感到它的轻轻的起伏，

Awake forever in a sweet unrest,

永远清醒，在甜蜜的不安中，

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

永远、永远听着她轻柔的呼 吸，

And so live ever---or else swoon to death.

永远这样生活---

或昏厥而死去。

——John·Keats

To Autumn

秋颂

Ⅰ

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,

雾气洋溢，果实圆熟的秋，

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

你和成熟的太阳成为友伴；

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

你们密谋用累累的珠球，

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;

缀满茅檐下的葡萄藤蔓；

To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,

使屋前的老树背负着苹果，

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

让熟味透进果实的心中，

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells

使葫芦胀大，鼓起了榛子壳，

With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,

好塞进甜核；又为了蜜蜂

And still more, later flowers for the bees,

一次一次开放过迟的花朵，

Until they think warm days will never cease,

使它们以为日子将永远暖和，

For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.

因为夏季早填满它们黏巢。

II.

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?

谁不经常看见你伴着谷仓？

Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find

在田野里也可以把你找到，

Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,

你有时随意坐在打麦场上，

Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;

让发丝随着簸谷的风轻飘；

Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep,

有时候，为罂粟花香所沉迷，

Drows’d with the fume of poppies, while thy hook

你倒卧在收割一半的田垄，

Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers

让镰刀歇在下一畦的花旁；

And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep

或者，像拾穗人越过小溪，

Steady thy laden head across a brook;

你昂首背着谷袋，投下倒影，

Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,

或者就在榨果架下坐几点钟，

Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

你耐心地瞧着徐徐滴下的酒浆。

III.

Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?

啊．春日的歌哪里

去了？但不要

Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,

想这些吧，你也有你的音乐——

While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,

当波状的云把将逝的一天映照，

And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue;

以胭红抹上残梗散碎的田野，

Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn

这时啊，河柳下的一群小飞虫

Among the river sallows, borne aloft

就同奏哀音，它们忽而飞高，

Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;

忽而下落，随着微风的起灭；

And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;

篱下的蟋蟀在歌唱，在园中

Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft

红胸的知更鸟就群起呼哨；

The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;

而群羊在山圈里高声默默咩叫；

And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

丛飞的燕子在天空呢喃不歇。

——John Keats

Eternity

永恒

He who binds to himself a joy

谁想要抓住欢乐不放，

Does the winged life destroy;

便会将展翅的生活毁光；

But he who kisses the joy as it flies

但谁要是亲吻擦身飞过的欢乐，

Lives in eternity's sun rise.

谁便将生活在永恒太阳升起的时刻。

In what furnace was thy brain?

何种神炉造就了你的脑浆？

何种铁钳？何种可怕的紧绑

Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

促成了那最后恐怖的一棒？

When the stars threw down their spears,

当星星掷下它们的长枪,

And water'd heaven with their tears,

用它们的泪水冲洗了天堂,

Did he smile his work to see?

造物看到了祂的作品有否微笑?

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

造就了你的造物竟也造出了羔羊?
