Inversnaid杰拉尔德·曼利·霍普金斯

因弗斯奈德张洁 译


This darksome burn, horseback brown,
这幽暗的溪流,马背的棕色,
His rollrock highroad roaring down,
他的滚石大道呼啸而下,
In coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
在笼子和梳子里,他的泡沫的羊毛
Flutes and low to the lake falls home.
吹着笛哞哞叫着扎进他的家湖泊里。

A windpuff-bonnet of fáwn-fróth
一顶小鹿泡沫的风吹帽
Turns and twindles over the broth
回旋缠绕
Of a pool so pitchblack, féll-frówning,
在漆黑一片、山丘皱眉的水潭的汤汁上,
It rounds and rounds Despair to drowning.
一圈又一圈,绝望直至溺死。

Degged with dew, dappled with dew
将露珠洒落,因露珠而斑驳,
Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through,
是山坡的腹股沟,溪水穿过,
Wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern,
铁丝般的石楠丛,蕨的肋条,
And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn.
结满珠子的白蜡树蹲坐在溪流之上。

What would the world be, once bereft
世界将会变成什么样呢,一旦被剥夺了
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
潮湿和野性?让它们留下吧,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
哦,让它们留下,潮湿和野性;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
还是让杂草和荒野长存吧。
