英漢對(duì)照|托馬斯詩選：我來領(lǐng)會(huì)你的聲音

I have come to catch your voice

I have come to catch your voice,

Your constructed notes going out of the throat

With dry, mechanical gestures,

To catch the shaft

Although it is so straight and unbending;

Then, when I open my mouth,

The light will come in an unwavering line.

Then to catch night

Wading through her dark cave on ferocious wings.

Oh, eagle-mouthed,

I have come to pluck you,

And take away your exotic plumage,

Although your anger is not a slight thing,

Take you into my own place

Where the frost can never fall,

Nor the petals of any flower drop.

我來領(lǐng)會(huì)你的聲音

我來領(lǐng)會(huì)你的聲音，

你構(gòu)思的音符，在喉口翻涌，

干澀呆板的手勢(shì)，

趕上這束光，

盡管如此的直接而決然;

然后，當(dāng)我開口亮嗓，

光就會(huì)進(jìn)來，成一條堅(jiān)定的直線。

隨后趕上夜晚，

展開兇猛的翅翼，涉水蹚過她黑暗的洞穴。

哦，鷹嘴，

我來拔下你，

拔走你外來的羽毛，

盡管你的憤怒不是件小事，

帶你進(jìn)入我的領(lǐng)地，

那里不見霜降，

更不見一片花瓣落下。
