精选英语诗歌:A Complaint

A Complaint

There is a change—and I am poor;

Your love hath been, nor long ago,

A fountain at my fond heart’s door,

Whose only business was to flow;

And flow it did; not taking heed

Of its bounty, or my need.

What happy moments did I count!

Blest was I then all bliss above!

Now for that consecrated fount

Of murmuring, sparkling, living love,

What have I? shall I dare to tell?

A comfortless and hidden well.

A well of love—it may be deep--

I trust it is,—and never dry:

What matter? if the waters sleep

In silence and obscurity.

—Such change, and at the very door

Of my fond heart, hath made me poor.

只因事情发生突变,

我就显得多么可怜;

你的爱曾是喷涌的活水,

你的.情曾是不竭的清泉;

那么慷慨,毫无顾忌,

沽沽地流进我的心田。

为这赐福我感谢上天,

我曾经多么辛福美满!

这泉水曾不尽地流淌,

带着窃窃私语、闪闪泪光、丝丝眷恋!

然而现在我无话可说,

我得到一口暗井装满忧烦。

这爱的暗井不明深浅,

那井水也许不会枯干;

可是这样又有何益,

如果昏暗的井底只是死水一潭?

这个突变把我痴迷的心搅乱,

我现在是多么可怜。

威廉·华滋华斯(Willian Wordsworth1770—1850)英国诗人 英语利用动词形态变化表达时间顺序和动作状态,汉语没有对应语法手段,翻译时只能用增词等手段来表达,要求不着一丝痕迹。全诗运用比喻一比到底。点睛之笔及精妙之处是第三小节中间两行,用 “死水” 翻译 “waters sleep” 可谓殊途同归。
