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。作者: Xiaoman 时间: 2015-4-14 09:04 学习了方老师妙译,收藏了。作者: Xiaoman 时间: 2015-4-14 20:29 I listened, motionless and still;

凝神静气听,伴歌山上行。歌声入心底,荡荡久回萦。
学习和理解最后四句:
这个mounted up “登山”,是个动词。 您的译文中的动词“行” 好像没有”登上,上山“的意思?
Bear -- To carry or hold in the mind over time;
“萦”?作者: Xiaoman 时间: 2015-4-14 21:59 我回头看了您那天的留言"汉语可以意在词不在,句法要求宽松,想象空间大"
感觉应该是那样。 喜欢看您贴的诗词和翻译。 谢谢!晚安。作者: fanghuzhai 时间: 2015-4-15 05:39 歌声在心里救救回荡。
