试译《Time and love》

【题记】威廉˖莎士比亚的十四行诗第64首《时间与爱》，充满了对往昔的依恋，描述了大自然的不可抗拒，周而复始的兴与衰、得与失。作者认为，从辉煌昌盛到逐渐衰败再到灭亡，都是无可改变的自然规律。时光把我们的“爱”夺走，我们只能哭泣面对。表达了诗人的一种无奈与哀伤。

汉译诗题：《时间与爱》

原著/威廉•莎士比亚

翻译/云生

我目睹时间伸出的魔掌，

积岁奇珍也被埋入尘土。

目睹高耸城堡轰然塌方，

不锈青铜朽于死亡狂怒。

我目睹饥饿的汪洋大海，

侵吞着大地王国的岸堤。

坚实陆土也会将海填埋，

沧海桑田彼此消长盈亏。

目睹世间万象更迭废兴，

而世象本身也注定衰朽。

如此毁灭让我沉思警醒，

时光终究会来夺我爱友。

此念如同死亡无法脱逃，

悲泣中与害怕所失拥抱。

挂玉原诗：

Time and love

By William Shakespeare

When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced

The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;

When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed

And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;

When I have seen the hungry ocean gain

Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,

And the firm soil win of the watery main,

Increasing store with loss and loss with store;

When I have seen such interchange of state,

Or state itself confounded to decay;

Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate,

That Time will come and take my love away.

This thought is as a death, which cannot choose

But weep to have that which it fears to lose.

天涯客车

佩服。
