英譯版《紅樓夢》中的唯美詩詞(2)

　　一個是水中月，一個是鏡中花。

　　One is the moon reflected in the water,

　　The other but a flower in the mirror.

　　想眼中能有多少淚珠兒，

　　How many tears can well from her eyes?

　　怎經得秋流到冬盡，春流到夏！

　　Can they flow>From spring till summer?

　　【作者題絕】

　　霍克斯 譯

　　滿紙荒唐言，一把辛酸淚！

　　Pages full of idle words

　　Penned with hot and bitter tears:

　　都云作者癡，誰解其中味？

　　All men call the author fool;

　　None his secret message hears.

　　【太虛幻境楹聯】

　　Illusory Land of Great Void

　　楊憲益 戴乃迭 譯

　　假作真時真亦假，無為有處有還無。

　　When false is taken for true, true becomes false;

　　If non-being turns into being, being becomes non-being.

　　【葬花吟】

　　楊憲益 戴乃迭 譯

　　花謝花飛飛滿天，紅消香斷有誰憐？

　　As blossoms fade and fly across the sky,

　　Who pities the faded red, the scent that has been?

　　游絲軟系飄春榭，落絮輕沾撲繡簾。

　　Softly the gossamer floats over spring pavilions,

　　Gently the willow fluff wafts to the embroidered screen.

　　閨中女兒惜春暮，愁緒滿懷無釋處，

　　A girl in her chamber mourns the passing of spring,

　　No relief from anxiety her poor heart knows;

　　手把花鋤出繡閨，忍踏落花來復去。

　　Hoe in hand she steps through her portal,

　　Loath to tread>

　　柳絲榆莢自芳菲，不管桃飄與李飛。

　　Willows and elms, fresh and verdant,

　　Care not if peach and plum blossom drift away;

　　桃李明年能再發，明年閨中知有誰？

　　Next year the peach and plum will bloom again,

　　But her chamber may stand empty>

　　三月香巢已壘成，梁間燕子太無情。

　　By the third month the scented nests are built,

　　But the swallows>

　　明年花發雖可啄，卻不道人去梁空巢也傾！

　　Next year, though>From the beam of an empty room your nest will fall.

　　一年三百六十日，風刀霜劍嚴相逼。

　　Each year for three hundred and sixty days

　　The cutting wind and biting frost contend.

　　明媚鮮妍能幾時，一朝飄泊難尋覓。

　　How long can beauty flower fresh and fair?

　　In a single day wind can whirl it to its end.

　　花開易見落難尋，階前悶殺葬花人。

　　Fallen, the brightest blooms are hard to find;

　　With aching heart their grave-digger comes now.

　　獨倚花鋤淚暗灑，灑上空枝見血痕。

　　Alone, her hoe in hand, her secret tears

　　Falling like drops of blood>

　　杜鵑無語正黃昏，荷鋤歸去掩重門。

　　Dusk falls and the cuckoo is silent;

　　Her hoe brought back, the lodge is locked and still;

　　青燈照壁人初睡，冷雨敲窗被未溫。

　　A green lamp lights the wall as steep enfolds her,

　　Cold rain pelts the casement and her quilt is chill.

　　怪奴底事倍傷神，半為憐春半惱春：

　　What causes my two-fold anguish?

　　Love for spring and resentment of spring;

　　憐春忽至惱忽去，至又無言去不聞。

　　For suddenly it comes and suddenly goes,

　　Its arrival unheralded, noiseless its departing.

　　昨宵庭外悲歌發，知是花魂與鳥魂？

　　Last night from the courtyard floated a sad song –

　　Was it the soul of blossom, the soul of birds?

　　花魂鳥魂總難留，鳥自無言花自羞。

　　Hard to detain, the soul of blossom or birds,

　　For blossoms have no assurance, birds no words.

　　愿奴脅下生雙翼，隨花飛到天盡頭。

　　I long to take wing and fly

　　With the flowers to earth's uttermost bound;

　　天盡頭，何處有香丘？

　　And yet at earth's uttermost bound

　　Where can a fragrant burial mound be found?

　　未若錦囊收艷骨，一抔凈土掩風流。

　　Better shroud the fair petals in silk

　　With clean earth for their outer attire;

　　質本潔來還潔去，強于污淖陷渠溝。

　　For pure you came and pure shall go,

　　Not sinking into some foul ditch or mire.

　　爾今死去儂收葬，未卜儂身何日喪？

　　Now you are dead I come to bury you;

　　None has divined the day when I shall die;

　　儂今葬花人笑癡，他年葬儂知是誰？

　　Men laugh at my folly in burying fallen flowers,

　　But who will bury me when dead I lie?

　　試看春殘花漸落，便是紅顏老死時。

　　See, when spring draws to a close and flowers fall,

　　This is the season when beauty must ebb and fade;

　　一朝春盡紅顏老，花落人亡兩不知。

　　The day that spring takes wing and beauty fades

　　Who will care for the fallen blossom or dead maid?

　　【黛玉容貌】

　　霍克斯 譯

　　兩彎似蹙非蹙籠煙眉，

　　一雙似喜非喜含情目。

　　Her mist-wreathed brows at first seemed to frown, yet were not frowning;

　　Her passionate eyes at first seemed to smile, yet were not merry.
