再别康桥(中英双语)
再别康桥
Farewell to Cambridge Again
作者|徐志摩(Xu Zhimo)
英译|周柯楠(Zhou Kenan)
轻轻的我走了,
Softly I’ll step away
正如我轻轻的来;
Just as I came quietly
我轻轻的招手,
I wave gently
作别西天的云彩。
Bidding farewell to the clouds in the western sky
那河畔的金柳,
The golden willows by the river
是夕阳中的新娘;
Is the bride in the setting sun
波光里的艳影,
The reflections on the shimmering waves
在我的心头荡漾。
Always linger in the depth of my heart
软泥上的青荇,
The aquatic plants growing in the sludge
油油的在水底招摇;
Sway leisurely under the water
在康河的柔波里,
In the gentle waves of the River Cam
我甘心做一条水草!
I wish I were a water plant
那榆荫下的一潭,
That deep pool under the shade of elm trees
不是清泉, 是天上虹;
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky
揉碎在浮藻间,
Shattered to pieces among the algae
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
That’s the sediment of a rainbow-like dream
寻梦?撑一支长篙,
To seek dreams? I’ll pole a boat
向青草更青处漫溯,
Tracking back to the place where the grass is more verdant
满载一船星辉,
To have the boat full of starlight
在星辉斑斓里放歌。
Singing aloud in the splendour of starlight
但我不能放歌,
But I cannot sing aloud
悄悄是别离的笙箫;
Silence is my farewell music
夏虫也为我沉默,
Even summer insects keep silence for me
沉默是今晚的康桥!
Silence is tonight’s Cambridge
悄悄的我走了,
Quietly I’m gonna take my leave
正如我悄悄的来;
Just as I came here quietly
我挥一挥衣袖,
I flick my sleeve
不带走一片云彩。
Not even a cloud will I take away
