W. B. Yeats - Stream and Sun at Glendalough 汉译

Through intricate motions ran<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Stream and gliding sun

And all my heart seemed gay:

Some stupid thing that I had done

Made my attention stray.

 

Repentance keeps my heart impure;

But what am I that dare

Fancy that I can

Better conduct myself or have more

Sense than a common man?

 

What motion of the sun or stream

Or eyelid shot the gleam

That pierced my body through?

What made me live like these that seem

Self-born, born anew?

 

格伦达涝的溪流和太阳

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

 

溪流和滑翔的太阳通过

繁复的机制运行，

我心中似乎充满欣喜：

我曾经做过的一些蠢事情

使我的心神游移。

 

悔恨使我的心乱成一团；

可我算什么，竟敢

妄想我能够

比普通人有更好的表现

或更多的见识？

 

太阳或溪流或眼睑的什么

运动放射出那闪烁，

把我的身体穿透？

是什么使我再生，象这些

仿佛自生的事物一样生活？

 

（1932年6月）
