WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

  作者WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS叶芝(1865-1939),用英语写作的爱尔兰诗人,早年曾参加爱尔兰独立运动,但后来脱离政治运动,专心致力与文学写作。其诗风受布莱克影响较深;后与法国诗派接触,使他的诗又带上了唯美注意和象征主义色彩。叶芝在1923年获得诺贝尔文学奖,是一位对现代诗歌具有重大影响的诗人。叶芝在1889年遇见女演员、爱尔兰独立运动战士Maud Gonne,并爱上了她,他曾多次向她求婚,但均遭拒绝,但他终生爱慕着她,为她写下了许多诗,《当你老了》就是其中一首。

  

  When you are old and gray and full of sleep

  And nodding by the fire,take down this book,

  And slowly read,and dream of the soft look

  Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;

  How many loved your moments of glad grace,

  And loved your beauty with love false or true;

  But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

  And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

  And bending down beside the glowing bars,

  Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled

  And paced upon the mountains overhead,

  And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

  当你老了,头白了,睡思昏沉,

  炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,

  慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和

  回想它们过去的浓重的阴影;

  多少人爱你年轻环畅的时候

  爱慕你的美貌出于假意或真心,

  只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,

  爱你老去的容颜的痛苦的皱纹。

  

  躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁,

  凄然的低语,爱为何消逝,

  在头顶的山上他缓缓踱着步子,

  将脸隐没在了群星之中。

She Walks in Beauty
By Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
她走在美的光彩中
查良铮 译
她走在美的光彩中,象夜晚
皎洁无云,繁星漫天;
明与暗,最美妙的色泽
呈现在她的仪容和秋波:
耀目的白天只嫌光太强,
它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。
增加或减少一份明与暗
就会损害这难言的美。
美波动在她乌黑的发上,
或者散布淡淡的光辉
在那脸庞,恬静的思绪
指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。
呵,那额际,那鲜艳的面颊,
如此温和,平静,而又脉脉含情,
那迷人的微笑,那容颜的光彩,
都在说明一个善良的生命:
她的头脑安于世间的一切,
她的心充溢着真纯的爱情!
