#1 [原创] 老方译诗：王维廉之闻歌行
王维廉闻歌行
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
孤独高原女，遥见田中央。挥镰随行止，婉转自歌唱。
Alone she cuts and binds the grain
And sings a melancholy strain;
Oh listen! For the vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
割谷复打捆，忧歌亦一人。但见空灵谷，处处闻佳音。
No nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travelers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands;
荒漠大食地，薄荫庇倦旅。莺歌解苦颜，犹不及此曲。
A voice so thrilling ne’er was heard
In spring-time from the cuckoo-bird
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
春来杜鹃鸣，划破四海静。乐音游群岛，终逊女歌声。
Will no one tell me what she sings?
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
可知何所咏？小曲有哀情。久远伤心事，沙场硝烟浓。
Or is it some more humble lay.
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain，
That has been, and may be again?
或为平凡调，日常琐事肖。哀怨失落情，来去恒如潮。
What’er the theme, the maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o’er the sickle bending;
所歌终不解，但闻歌绵绵。且歌且劳作，俯身动银镰。
I listened, motionless and still;
And , as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
凝神静气听，伴歌山上行。歌声入心底，荡荡久回萦。
