苏轼的词还能翻成英文!(江城子英文版附中文后)
《江城子》 苏轼
十年生死两茫茫,不思量,自难忘。
千里孤坟,无处话凄凉。
纵使相逢应不识,尘满面,鬓如霜。
夜来幽梦忽还乡,小轩窗,正梳妆。
相顾无言,惟有泪千行。
料得年年肠断处,明月夜,短松冈。

英文版全文:
Ten years, dead and living dim and draw apart.
I don't try to remember,
But forgetting is hard.
Lonely grave a thousand miles off,
Cold thoughts, where can I talk them out?
Even if we met, you wouldn't know me,
Dust on my face, Hair like frost.
In a dream last night suddenly I was home.
By the window of the little room,
You were combing your hair and making up.
You turned and looked, not speaking,
Only lines of tears coursing down.
Year after year will it break my heart?
The moonlit grave, The stubby pines.
美国著名汉学家Burton Watson的译文:
Ten years, dead and living dim and draw apart.
I don't try to remember,But forgetting is hard.
Lonely grave a thousand miles off,Cold thoughts, where can I talk them out?
Even if we met, you wouldn't know me,Dust on my face,Hair like frost.
In a dream last night suddenly I was home.
By the window of the little room,You were combing your hair and making up.
You turned and looked, not speaking,Only lines of tears coursing down.
Year after year will it break my heart?
The moonlit grave,The stubby pines.
【好学英文网后续】这是苏东坡的爱妾王朝云死后,有一天他梦见亡妾之后写的感怀诗。朴素真挚的深情,沉痛的生离死别,每读一次就更为其中的深情所感动。阴阳相隔,重逢只能期于梦中,苏东坡用了十年都舍弃不下的,是那种相濡以沫的亲情。他受不了的不是没有了轰轰烈烈的爱情,而是失去了伴侣后孤单相吊的寂寞。“纵使相逢应不识,尘满面,鬓如霜”在梦里能够看见的,也全是逝去亲人往日生活里的琐碎片断。因为在那些琐碎里,凝结着化不去的亲情。在红尘中爱的最高境界是什么?执子之手是一种境界,相濡以沫是一种境界,生死相许也是一种境界。在这世上有一种最为凝重、最为浑厚的爱叫相依为命。那是天长日久的渗透,是一种融入了彼此之间生命中的温暖。不过我个人认为还是苏轼的中词写的好,英文版看起来很生硬。经典之作!
