經(jīng)典雙語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌:人隨歲月長(zhǎng)進(jìn) 歲月安好

威廉·巴特勒·葉芝(William Butler Yeats)(1865～1939)，亦譯“葉慈”、“耶茨”，愛(ài)爾蘭詩(shī)人、劇作家，著名的神秘主義者，是“愛(ài)爾蘭文藝復(fù)興運(yùn)動(dòng)”的領(lǐng)袖，也是艾比劇院 (Abbey Theatre)的創(chuàng)建者之一，被詩(shī)人艾略特譽(yù)為"當(dāng)代最偉大的詩(shī)人"。葉芝對(duì)戲劇也有濃厚的興趣，先后寫(xiě)過(guò)26部劇本。

I am worn out with dreams;

A weather-worn, marble triton

Among the streams;

And all day long I look

Upon this lady’s beauty

As though I had found in book

我因多夢(mèng)而憔悴衰減;

像一個(gè)風(fēng)雨剝蝕的石雕海神

在溪流中間;

整整一天我都在觀看

這位女士的美貌，

好像我在一本書(shū)里發(fā)現(xiàn)

A pictured beauty,

Pleased to have filled the eyes

Or the discerning ears,

Delighted to be but wise,

For men improve with the years;

And yet and yet

Is this my dream, or the truth?

O would that we had met

When I had my burning youth;

But I grow old among dreams,

A weather-worn, marble triton

Among the streams.

一幅美人圖畫(huà)，

因眼睛或靈敏的耳朵

充實(shí)而歡欣，

因僅僅變得聰明而愉悅，

因?yàn)槿藗冸S歲月長(zhǎng)進(jìn);

然而，然而，

這是我的夢(mèng)，還是真實(shí)?

呵，但愿我們?cè)嘧R(shí)

在我青春如火時(shí)!

但是我在夢(mèng)中已變衰殘，

像一個(gè)風(fēng)雨剝蝕的石雕海神

在溪流中間。
