雙語賞析《新月集》第14期: 云與波 Clouds and waves
| MOTHER, the folk who live up in the clouds call out to me-- | 媽媽，住在云端的人對我喚道——“我們從醒的時候游戲到白日終止。 |
| "We play from the time we wake till the day ends. | “我們與黃金色的曙光游戲，我們與銀白色的月亮游戲。” |
| We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon. | 我問道：“但是，我怎么能夠上你那里去呢？” |
| I ask, "But, how am I to get up to you?" They answer, "Come to the edge of the earth, lift up your hands to the sky, and you will be taken up into the clouds." | 他們答道：“你到地球的邊上來，舉手向天，就可以被接到云端里來了。” |
| "My mother is waiting for me at home," I say. "How can I leave her and come?" | “我媽媽在家里等我呢，”我說，“我怎么能離開她而來呢？” |
| Then they smile and float away. | 于是他們微笑著浮游而去。 |
| But I know a nicer game than that, mother. | 但是我知道一件比這個更好的游戲，媽媽。 |
| I shall be the cloud and you the moon. | 我做云，你做月亮。 |
| I shall cover you with both my hands, and our house-top will be the blue sky. | 我用兩只手遮蓋你，我們的屋頂就是青碧的天空。 |
| The folk who live in the waves call out to me-- | 住在波浪上的人對我喚道—— “我們從早晨唱歌到晚上；我們前進又前進地旅行，也不知我們所經(jīng)過的是什么地方。” |
| "We sing from morning till night; on and on we travel and know not where we pass." | 我問道：“但是，我怎么能加入你們隊伍里去呢？” |
| I ask, "But, how am I to join you?" They tell me, "Come to the edge of the shore and stand with your eyes tight shut, and you will be carried out upon the waves." | 他們告訴我說：“來到岸旁，站在那里，緊閉你的兩眼，你就被帶到波浪上來了。” |
| I say, "My mother always wants me at home in the evening--how can I leave her and go?" | 我說：“傍晚的時候，我媽媽常要我在家里——我怎么能離開她而去呢！” |
| Then they smile, dance and pass by. | 于是他們微笑著，跳舞著奔流過去。 |
| But I know a better game than that. | 但是我知道一件比這個更好的游戲。 |
| I will be the waves and you will be a strange shore. | 我是波浪，你是陌生的岸。 |
| I shall roll on and on and on, and break upon your lap with laughter. | 我奔流而進，進，進，笑哈哈地撞碎在你的膝上。 |
| And no one in the world will know where we both are. | 世界上就沒有一個人會知道我們倆在什么地方。 |
