雙語詩歌·“亮星!但愿我像你一樣堅(jiān)持”

“亮星！但愿我像你一樣堅(jiān)持”

Bright Star, Would I Were Stedfast as Thou Art

濟(jì)　慈

John Keats

亮星！但愿我像你一樣堅(jiān)持——

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—

不是在夜空高掛著孤獨(dú)的美光，

Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night,

像那大自然的堅(jiān)忍不眠的隱士，

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

睜開著一雙眼瞼永遠(yuǎn)在守望

Like nature's patient, sleepless eremite ,

動蕩的海水如教士那樣工作，

The moving waters at their priestlike task

繞地上人類的涯岸作滌凈的洗禮，

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

或者凝視著白雪初次降落，

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

面具般輕輕戴上高山和大地——

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors;

不是這樣，——但依然堅(jiān)持不變：

No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable ,

枕在我愛人 的正在成熟的胸脯上，

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

以便感到它柔和的起伏，永遠(yuǎn)，

To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,

永遠(yuǎn)清醒地感到那甜蜜的動蕩；

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

永遠(yuǎn)傾聽她溫柔地呼吸不止，

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

就這樣永遠(yuǎn)活下去——或昏醉而死。

And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
