過印度洋
周無
圓天蓋著大海，黑水托著孤舟。
遠看不見山，那天邊只有云頭。
也看不見樹，那水上只有海鷗。
那里是非洲，那里是歐洲，
我美麗親愛的故鄉，卻在腦后！
怕回頭，怕回頭，
一陣大風，雪浪上船頭。
颼颼，吹散一天云霧一天愁。

The old pond
A frog leaps in.
Sound of the water.
閑寂古池塘，
青蛙跳入池塘里，
撲通一聲響。
No sky at all;
no earth at all—and still
the snowflakes fall…

Dust of Snow
By Robert Frost
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
雪塵
弗羅斯特
鐵杉梢頭
一點寒鴉過
柯枝顫抖
雪塵簌簌落
心頭一動
情緒頓流轉
整日郁悶
多半已消散
天空低垂
天空低垂——烏云陰沉的臉
一片游蕩的雪花
經過谷倉，飄過車轍：
我是否就這樣落下——
狹窄的風，臆想著一個人
一整天都在抱怨
大自然，會像我們
有時被看到沒戴王冠
雪夜林邊駐馬
佛洛斯特
我想我知道這林兒的歸屬
縱然主人是在那村中行居；
此刻他不會見我正停于此，
凝望他的樹林為雪所覆。
我的小馬想必也以此為奇，
為何要停于遠離農舍之地？
畢竟雪林與冰湖交接之際，
但見一年中最深的冬夕。
它抖了抖韁鈴予以示意
似問我是否行錯了本來蹤跡
但此刻除風吹雪落輕柔
再聽不見一點應答聲息
這林兒真是美麗深幽
可我卻另有誓約謹守
且歸宿之前，尚有長路要走
且歸宿之前，尚有長路須走
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village，though；
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
這片樹林的主人我還算熟
他家就住在村里頭
他肯定不知道我正站在這
欣賞著這雪中的樹林
圖片
My little horse must think it queer奇怪,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.
我的小馬一定非常納悶兒
怎么停在了一個前不著村后不著店的地兒
這里只有樹林和結冰的湖
又黑又無趣兒
圖片
He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake.
他抖動了一下頸上的鈴鐺
好像是在提醒我是不是有點荒唐
風聲伴隨著鈴聲
雪片隨風蕩漾
圖片
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
樹林是如此迷人，深沉，寂靜
但我仍需前行
在休息前不能暫停，不能暫停
停馬在雪夜的林邊
? （美國）弗羅斯特
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 方平【譯】
這是誰家的林子，我想我知道，
雖說他的農舍卻在村子那一頭；
他不會看到我停留在這兒，
望著他的林子積雪有多厚。
我那小馬一定會感到奇怪：
停留在這兒？又沒村舍在鄰近——
夾在一座森林和一片冰湖之間，
在這一年中最昏暗的黃昏。
他搖了搖胸前的掛鈴，
想問問到底有沒有弄錯。
此外只聽得一陣微風吹過，
和一陣鵝毛似的雪片卷過。
樹林真可愛，幽暗而深遠。
可是我還得趕赴一個約會，
還得趕好多里路才能安睡，
還得趕還多里路才能安睡。
Who has seen the wind
Christina Rossetti
? Who has seen the wind?
? ? Neither I nor you;
? But when the leaves hang trembling,
? ? The wind is passing through.
? Who has seen the wind?
? ? Neither you nor I;
? But when the trees bow down their heads,
? ? The wind is passing by.
? 有誰見過風？
? 不是我也不是你；
? 一旦樹搖葉婆娑，
? 頓覺飄然風乍起。
? 有誰見過風？
? 不是你也不是我；
? 但當樹木低頭時，
? 便是一陣風吹過。
Loveliest of Trees
By Alfred Edward Housman
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough.
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy spring a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in the bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
此樹絕風姿
此樹絕風姿，
櫻花發滿枝。
清明林間道，
一襲云裳俏。
我生能幾何？
七十恐已多。
減卻二十春，
五十尚僅存。
五十光陰少，
不足看花飽。
林間且躑躅，
盤桓雪一株 。
Bed In Summer
Robert Louis Stevenson
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
夏日無眠
羅伯特?路易斯?斯蒂文森
冬日早起不等天亮，
穿衣打扮借著燭光。
一到夏日適得其反，
大白天里我得上床。
雙眼睜開躺在床上，
枝頭小鳥雀躍跳蕩；
兩耳只聽腳步聲聲，
大人街頭來來往往。
晴空碧藍一片明亮，
游玩娛樂大好時光；
大白天里上床睡覺，
無可奈何誰能想象？

because I am involved in mankind,
and therefore,
never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee.

Indicative that Suns go down -

黑暗 — 就要經過 —

Though it be darkness there;

寒霧四時無侵
In its unfading flowers
在永不凋零的花間
I hear the bright bee hum:
我聽見蜜蜂在歡欣呤唱
Prithee, my brother,
請你，我的兄弟
Into my garden come!
請來我的花園暢游。
Flint
by Christina Rossetti
An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.
A diamond is a brilliant stone,
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds fire.

The Passionate Shepherd To His Love
by Christopher Marlowe
Come live with me and be my love,
來吧，和我生活在一起，做我的愛人，
And we will all the pleasure prove,
在這里將使我們快樂無邊；
That Valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
這里有峻峭秀麗的山巒，
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
還有風光明媚的山谷田園。
And we will sit upon the Rocks,
讓我們倆閑坐大石之上,
Seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks,
看牧羊人喂養可愛的羔羊；
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
在淺淺的小溪旁，
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
鳥兒隨著潺潺流水把愛情歌唱。
And I will make thee beds of Roses
讓我為你鋪好玫瑰的花床,
And a thousand fragrant posies,
用成千的花束做床，
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
用愛神木的葉子織成長裙，
Embroidere'd all with leaves of myrtle.
一切都獻給你，絢麗與芬芳；
A gown made of the finest wool,
從羔羊身上剪下最好的羊毛，
Which from our pretty lambs we pull,
為你做件精紡細織的長袍，
Fair lin'ed slippers for the cold,
縫一雙冷天穿的寬舒鞋子 ，
With buckles of the purest gold.
純金的搭扣，漂亮的襯里。
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
長春藤和芳草做的腰帶，
With coral clasps and amber studs;
珊瑚帶扣點綴著琥珀水晶。
And if these pleasures may thee move,
假如這些享受能打動你的心。
Come live with me and be my love.
來吧，和我生活在一起，做我的愛人！
The Shepherds' Swains shall dance and sing
俊俏的牧人會群起歌舞徘徊,
For thy delight each May morning;
將為你縱情舞蹈，高歌入云，
If these delights thy mind may move,
假如這些歡樂能打動你的心，
Then live with me and be my love.
來吧，和我生活在一起，做我的愛人！
The Nymph's Reply To The Shepherd
? 仙子答牧羊人
? ? ? ? ? ? ? By Walter Raleigh
Fall the world and love were young
And truth in every shepherd's tongue
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee and be thy love
假若世界和愛情永遠年輕
假若牧羊人的話句句成真
這些美妙快樂能把我打動
和你一起生活成為你的愛人
Time drivers the flocks from field to fold
When rivers rage and rocks grow cold
And Philomel becometh dumb
The rest complains of cares to come
時間驅羊群從田野到羊圈
當河水開始憤怒巖石漸冷
夜鶯此時變得沉默不語
其余的鳥獸也把未來憂患
The flowers do fade, and want to fields
To wayward winter rage and rocks grow cold
A honey tongue ,a heart of gall
Is fancy's spring ,but snow's fall
花兒會枯萎凋謝，油綠的田野
會屈從于寒冬的肆虐
甜美的語言，冷酷的心扉
是美夢的春天，悲哀的秋天
The gowns ,thy shoes ,thy beds of roses
Thy cap ,thy kirtle ,and thy posies
Soon break ,soon winter ,soon forgotten
In folly ripe ,in reason rotten
你那長袍，那靴子和玫瑰婚床
你那花冠，那長裙和花束芳香
很快枯萎破舊被人遺忘腦后
他們在癡想中長成，在理想中消亡
Thy belt of straw and ivy bnds
Thy coral clasps and amber studs
All these in me no means can move
To come to thee and be thy love
那青草和常青藤編制的腰帶
點綴上珊瑚扣和琥珀的鈕飾
所有這些毫不能打動我的心
和你一起生活成為你的愛人
But could youth lost and love still breed
Had joys no date nor age no deed
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love
但假若青春不老，愛意長存
假若快樂無邊歲月無盡
這些快樂才能打動我的心
和你一起生活成為你的愛人
仙女對牧羊人的回答
沃特·雷利 著
皮特大娃兒 譯
若世界與愛不老
牧羊人字字衷腸
此般快樂足傾我心
與你生活，做你愛人
山野夕陽驅羊歸圈
只聽河水呼嘯，巖石瑟瑟
夜鶯忘歌
耳邊縈繞徒有哀怨
花兒確也凋謝，郊野青蔥依舊
終將讓凜冬肆意踏踐
甜言蜜語，抑或口蜜腹劍
曉春才過，寒秋畢現
你的睡袍，鞋和花床
你的花冠，裙和芬芳
轉瞬凋殘被我遺忘
既是早熟，終必早衰
你那青藤和稻草編織的腰帶
你的珊瑚別針，琥珀扣環
皆藏我心，揮之不去
讓我依你身側，做你愛人
如若青春永駐，愛能長存
只留快樂，歲月永恒
如此才能令我魂繞
與你生活，做你新娘

去蒙騙愚蠢之輩而尚能心平氣和,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
或者見到你畢生的亊業被毀,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
而尚能執起破舊的工具去著手重建;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
如果在你贏得無數桂冠之后,
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
然后孤注一擲再搏一次,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
失敗過后, 東山再起,
And never breathe a word about your loss;
不要抱怨你的失敗;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
假如你能驅使你的心力和精神,
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
在別人走后, 長久地堅守陣地,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
讓你抓牢, 盡管你里面己掏空了,
Except the Will which says to them: Hold on!
只有意志告訴它們 堅持!
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
假如你能與市井之徒交談而不失于禮,
Or walk with Kings -- nor lose the common touch,
出入于貴胄之家而不忘蒼生黎民,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
假如你能尊重人人而不膜拜何人,
If all men count with you, but none too much,
既不受制于仇敵亦不受制于親朋;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
假如你能以六十秒長跑
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
去填滿不可饒恕的一分鐘,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
這個世界的一切都是你的,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
更重要的是 -- 孩子 -- 你是個頂天立地的人!
Youth
by Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;
青春不是年華，而是心境；
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;
青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，
it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination,
a vigor of the emotions;
而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想象和熾熱的感情；
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春如生命的深泉在涌流。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage
over timidity of the appetite,
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，
for adventure over the love of ease.
進取壓倒茍安。
This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.
如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬老者更多見。
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals.
年歲有加，并非垂老；理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin,
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；
but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
熱忱拋卻，頹唐必至靈魂。
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
煩憂、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder,
the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next,
and the joy of the game of living.
無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，
心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station;
so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
人人心中皆有無線電臺，只要它從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐。
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty,
一旦天線倒塌，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，
即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；
but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
然則只要豎起天線，捕捉樂觀的信號，
你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺青春相伴左右。
Fear no more the heat o' the sun
不用再怕烈日曬蒸
Nor the furious winter's rages
不用再怕冰凍風刮
Thou thy worldly task hast done
世界的工作你已完成
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages
領取工資，然后回家
Golden lads and girls all must
才子佳人，同歸黃泉
As chimney-sweepers, Come to dust
如同掃煙囪的人一般
Fear no more the frown of the great
不再畏懼權貴的威力
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke
暴君也對你無可奈何
Care no more to clothe and eat
不用再為衣食而憂慮
To thee the reed is as the oak
蘆葦和橡樹一樣結果
The sceptre, learning, physic must
王侯學者，千行百業
All follow mis, and come to dust
化為塵埃，無法逃脫
Fear no more the lightning-flash
不用再怕閃劍的揮舞
Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone
不用再為雷鳴所煩憂
rear not slander, censure rash
敵人的非難無須顧慮
Thou hast finished joy all moan
你已閱盡了喜怒哀愁
All lovers dung, all lovers must
人世間的癡情男女
Consign to thee, and come to dust
都將和你一樣歸于塵土
No exorciser harm tllee!
沒有巫師能傷害到你，
Nor no witchcraft chaltn thee
也沒有符咒把你驚擾
Ghost unlain for bear thee
孤魂野鬼將與你遠離
Nothing ill come near thee!
沒有任何禍患讓你煩惱
Quiet consummation have
閉上眼睛，安靜地去吧
And renown'd by thy grave!
你的墳墓將為世人記掛
金色的叢林不再說話了……
金色的叢林不再說話了，
聽不見白樺歡快的語言，
鶴群滿懷憂傷地飛去了，
對誰也不會再依依眷戀。
戀眷誰啊，世人都是過客，
去了又來再辭別家門，
伴著淡藍色池塘上空的圓月，
大床田夢懷所有的離人。
我獨自佇立在光裸的原野，
風兒把鶴群送往遠方，
我遙想歡快的青春歲月，
但對往事我毫不惆悵。
我并不悔恨蹉跎的年華，
我并不惋惜心靈的丁香，
園中那紅似篝火的山楂，
溫暖不了任何人的心房。
紅透的山楂并不會燒焦，
發黃的小草并不會枯死，
我口中吐出憂傷的話兒，
像樹木悄然落下了葉子。
倘若時光馳過像陣風，
把話兒將當成廢物收斂……
就請告訴它：
金色的叢林不再傾吐心愛的語言。
（顧蘊璞譯）
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, then I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
如果我在閱讀時感到渾身冰涼，甚至連火焰也不能使我的身子溫暖，我知道，這就是詩歌；如果我在閱讀時感到天靈蓋被猛然揭開，這就是詩歌。? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ——艾米莉·狄金森
分析和詩歌本身相比永遠都顯得笨拙不堪，最終它被自己清理出來的無數雜亂的線頭絆倒。
