功夫婆媳第42集:寻找英文诗歌？

<when you are old>
When you are old and grey and full of sleep.
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you ,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

《当你老了》
诗/叶芝

当你老了，头发灰白，且睡意沉沉
倦坐在炉火的近旁。请取下这本书来
慢慢地翻读，追怀当年的眼神
那柔美动人而又深幽莫测的深深影迹

多少人爱过你青春时美妙的瞬间
爱过你的美貌，虚伪或是真诚地
却只有那独独的一人
他爱你那朝圣者般澄澈的心田
爱你因岁月流逝而逐渐显露悲凄的容颜

在火红的炉灶边，你弯下腰来
低语着，带着淡淡的伤感
你呢喃间，寻思这爱情
是怎样地逝去，又怎样地步等群山之巅
是哪般地，在满天星辰之中藏住了自己的脸

Trees

J.Kilmer

I think that I shall J.Kilmernever see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with the rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

树

我想我从未见过一首

美如玉树的诗章。

一棵张着饥饿嘴巴的树，

紧压在大地甘美而流畅的乳房上；

一棵整天望着神的树，

举起枝叶繁茂的手臂来祈祷；

一棵树在夏日里可能

戴着一窝知更鸟在头发上；

雪花堆积在她的怀抱里；

雨水也和她亲切地生活在一起。

像我这样愚笨的人可以做诗，

但唯有神方能造树。
LONG, LONG AGO

Winds through the olive trees
Softly did blow,
Round little Bethlehem
Long, long ago.

Sheep on the hillside lay
Whiter than snow;
Shepherds were watching them,
Long, long ago.

Then from the happy sky,
Angels bent low,
Singing their songs of joy,
Long, long ago.

For in a manger bed,
Cradled we know,
Christ came to Bethlehem,

很久很久以前

风儿轻轻地
吹过橄榄树丛，
吹过小小的伯利恒，
很久很久以前。

山坡上躺着
比雪还白的羊群，
牧羊人在看管它们，
很久很久以前。

天使们从幸福的天堂，
俯下身子，
欢快地歌唱，
很久很久以前。

我们知道，这是因为
耶稣降生到伯利恒，
以马槽当摇篮，
很久很久以前。

The Sea 海

(1)
The Sea! the Sea! the open Sea! 海啊！海啊！辽阔的大海！
The blue, the fresh, the ever free! 碧蓝，清新，永远地自由自在！
Without a mark, without a bound, 没有标志，没有境界，
It runneth the earth's wide regions 'round; 它围绕着大地；
It plays with the clouds; it mocks the skies; 与云彩嬉戏，向苍穹嘲弄；
Or like a cradled creature lies. 间或婴儿似地静躺在摇篮里。

(2)
I'm on the Sea! I'm on the Sea! 我在海上！我在海上！
I am where I would ever be; 这儿是我永远愿待的地方；
With the blue above, and the blue below, 上有蓝蓝的天，下有蓝蓝的海，
And silence wheresoe'er I go; 处处都是一片寂寞，
If a storm should come and awake the deep, 即使风浪将来唤醒大海，
What matter? I shall ride and sleep. 有甚么关系？驾舟，就寝皆由我。

(3)

I love (oh! how I love) to ride 我乐于（啊！我多么乐于）航行，
On the fierce foaming bursting tide, 在泡沫凶恶而崩裂的潮水上，
When every mad wave drowns the moon, 此时狂浪吞没了月影，
Or whistles aloft his tempest tune, 啸声高奏着风暴曲，
And tells how goes the world below, 倾诉底下的世界是何等模样，
And why the south-west blasts do blow. 西南风又为何而吹。

(4)

I never was on the dull tame shore 我从不留恋单调温驯的海岸，
but I lov'd the great Sea more and more, 只是愈来愈沉迷于海上，
And backwards flew to her billowy breast, 像鸟儿寻找母巢一般，
Like a bird that seeketh its mother's nest; 忽忙地飞回那涛涛巨浪的怀抱；
And mother she was, and is to me; 对我而言她就是慈母；
For I was born on the open Sea! 因为我生长在海上！
