Xanadu—Kubla Khan 忽必列汗
萨缪尔·柯勒律治
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
忽必列汗在上都曾经
下令造一座堂皇的安乐殿堂：
这地方有圣河亚佛流奔，
穿过深不可测的洞门，
直流入不见阳光的海洋。
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
有方圆五英里肥沃的土壤，
四周给围上楼塔和城墙：
那里有花园，蜿蜒的溪河在其间闪耀，
园里树枝上鲜花盛开，一片芬芳;
这里有森林，跟山峦同样古老，
围住了洒满阳光的一块块青草草场。
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
但是，啊!那深沉而奇异的巨壑
沿青山斜裂，横过伞盖的柏树!
野蛮的地方，既神圣而又着了魔--
好象有女人在衰落的月色里出没，
为她的魔鬼情郎而凄声嚎哭!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
巨壑下，不绝的喧嚣在沸腾汹涌，
似乎这土地正喘息在快速而猛烈的悸动中，
从这巨壑里，不断迸出股猛烈的地泉;
在它那断时续的涌迸之间，
巨大的石块飞跃着象反跳的冰雹，
或者象打稻人连枷下一撮撮新稻;
从这些舞蹈的岩石中，时时刻刻
迸发出那条神圣的溪河。
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
迷乱地移动着，蜿蜒了五英里地方，
那神圣的溪河流过了峡谷和森林，
于是到达了深不可测的洞门，
在喧嚣中沉入了没有生命的海洋;
从那喧嚣中忽必列远远听到
祖先的喊声预言着战争的凶兆!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
安乐的宫殿有倒影
宛在水波的中央漂动;
这儿能听见和谐的音韵
来自那地泉和那岩洞。
这是个奇迹呀，算得是稀有的技巧，
阳光灿烂的安乐宫，连同那雪窟冰窖!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me
That with music loud and long.
有一回我在幻象中见到
一个手拿德西马琴的姑娘：
那是个阿比西尼亚少女，
在她的琴上她奏出乐曲，
歌唱着阿伯若山。
如果我心中能再度产生
她的音乐和歌唱，
我将被引入如此深切的欢欣，
以至于我要用音乐高朗而又长久。
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
在空中建造那安乐宫廷，
那阳光照临的宫廷，那雪窟冰窖!
谁都能见到这宫殿，只要听见了乐音。
他们全都会喊叫：当心!当心!
他飘动的头发，他闪光的眼睛!
织一个圆圈，把他三道围住，
闭下你两眼，带着神圣的恐惧，
因为他一直吃着蜜样甘露，
一直饮着天堂的琼浆仙乳。
(屠岸 翻译)

Dover Beach 多佛海岸
Matthew Arnold 马修·阿诺德
The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand;
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
今夜大海宁静，
潮水正满，月色皎洁。
多佛海岸，灯光闪烁夜色中。
英伦绝壁矗立，
横卧港湾，宁静里。
走到窗前，
夜色如此甘甜!
波涛起，月接岸。
听，怒吼声，
碎石迭起，浪拍岸。
潮落潮起，潮起潮落
大海的节奏，渐渐舒缓，
奏出永恒的伤感。
Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the A gaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.
埃及的涛声，
流入古人的耳畔，
索福克勒斯追忆着，
历史的画面——
人类的磨难，
起伏，循环。
同样的涛声，
也给我们启示，
在这遥远的北海边。
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
信仰之海，
曾满流全地，如银带缠绕。
今日只闻悠长的哀鸣。
夜风里，
层层海浪，
从岸边退离。
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
让我们彼此真诚相爱，
这世界太多梦幻——
无常，魅力，新奇，
却找不到喜乐、爱情、亮光，
没有确据，没有和平，
没有手替我疗伤。
挣扎和退却
席卷
萤火闪烁的平原，
无知的军兵
夜战依然。

To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time 致少女之珍惜青春 中英对照：
by Robert Herrick
Gather ye rosebuds while you may,
快采下玫瑰花蕾，
Old time still a-flying;
往昔如风恐难追;
And this same flower that smiles today,
近日融融花语笑，
To-morrow will be dying.
明日寂寂残红坠。
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
灿灿朝霞比天灯，
The higher he's a-getting;
载光载热朝天腾;
The sooner will his race be run,
疾疾而行途乃近，
And nearer he's to setting.
昏昏暮霭落九层。
That age is best which is the first,
年当豆蔻风华优，
When youth and blood are warmer;
精力充沛血仍稠;
But being spent, the worse, and worst,
韵华虚度朱颜改，
Times still succeed the former.
春复秋来月悠悠。
Then be not coy, but use your time,
莫因娇羞惜爱怜，
And while ye may, go marry;
趁此春光嫁少年。
For having lost but once your prime,
等闲负了青春约，
You may for ever tarry.
此生难再觅良缘。

The Owl and the Pussy Cat 猫头鹰和猫咪
by Edward Lear
The Owl and the Pussy Cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
猫和猫头鹰一起去航海
乘一艘漂亮的绿色豌豆船
它们带了蜂蜜，还有许多钱
裹在一个五磅的纸币里
猫头鹰仰望头顶的星星
它边弹小吉他边唱起歌曲：
“哦,可爱的猫咪!哦,猫咪，我的爱
那只美丽绝伦的猫咪就是你
就是你
就是你!
那只美丽绝伦的猫咪就是你!”
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
小猫对猫头鹰说，“你这优雅的野禽
歌声多么甜美，多么动人
哦，我们结婚吧，我们已耽搁了这么久
但我们的戒指在哪里呢?“
他们继续远航，走了一年又一天
来到一片陆地，那里长满钟形的树木
在一块木头上站着一头蓬乱的小猪
一枚戒指在它的鼻子上!
在它鼻子上
在它鼻子上
那枚戒指就在它的鼻子上!
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
“可爱的猪，你肯以一先令卖掉
你的戒指吗?“小猪说，“我愿意”
它们拿到了戒指，第二天就结了婚
住在山里的火鸡为他们证婚
凭借着锋利的三齿叉
它们以肉末为食，还有温柏片
手挽着手，在沙滩的尽头
它们在月光下一起舞蹈
月光下
月光下
它们一起舞蹈在月光下!

Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;

Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
时间带翼的马车急急追赶;
And yonder all before us lie

Deserts of vast eternity.
却是无垠永恒的荒漠。你
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
的美绝不会再现芳踪，
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
你大理石墓穴里，我的歌声
My echoing song; then worms shall try

But none I think do there embrace.

Sits on thy skin like morning dew,

And while thy willing soul transpires

At every pore with instant fires,
散发出实时的火焰，
Now let us sport us while we may;
此刻让我们能玩就玩个尽兴;
And now, like am'rous birds of prey,
此刻，像发情的猛禽
Rather at once our time devour,
宁可一口把我们的时光吞掉
Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power.

Let us roll all our strength, and all

Our sweetness, up into one ball;
甜蜜，滚成一个圆球，
And tear our pleasures with rough strife

Thorough the iron gates of life.

Thus, though we cannot make our sun
这样，我们虽无法叫太阳
Stand still, yet we will make him run.
驻足，却可使他奔向前。
