雙語詩歌翻譯|屈原-《楚辭·離騷》

《離騷》是戰(zhàn)國時期著名詩人屈原的代表作之一，是中國古代漢族詩歌史上一首最長的政治抒情詩。詩人從自敘身世、品德、理想寫起，抒發(fā)了自己遭讒言被害的苦悶與矛盾心情，揭露了楚王昏庸、群小猖獗與朝政日非的政治現(xiàn)實，表現(xiàn)了詩人堅持“美政” 理想、不附和邪惡勢力的自愛精神及對楚王朝至死不渝的忠誠。

屈原 《楚辭·離騷》

何瓊佩之偃蹇兮，眾薆然而蔽之？惟此黨人之不諒兮，恐嫉妒而折之。

時繽紛其變易兮，又何可以淹留！蘭芷變而不芳兮，荃蕙化而為茅。

何昔日之芳草兮，今直為此蕭艾也？豈其有他故兮，莫好修之害也。

余以蘭為可恃兮，羌無實而容長。委厥美以從俗兮，茍得列乎眾芳！

椒專佞以慢慆兮，榝又欲充夫佩幃。既干進而務入兮，又何芳之能祗？

固時俗之流從兮，又孰能無變化？覽椒蘭其若茲兮，又況揭車與江離！

惟茲佩之可貴兮，委厥美而歷茲。芳菲菲而難虧兮，芬至今猶未沬。

和調度以自娛兮，聊浮游而求女。及余飾之方壯兮，周流觀乎上下。

On high my jasper pendent proudly gleamed,
Hid by the crowd with leaves that thickly teemed;
Untiring they relentless means employed;
I feared it would through envy be destroyed.

This gaudy age so fickle proved its will,
That to what purpose did I linger still?
E'en orchids changed, their fragrance quickly lost,
And midst the weeds angelicas were tossed.

How could these herbs, so fair in former day,
Their hue have changed, and turned to mugworts grey?
The reason for their fall, not far to seek,
Was that to tend their grace their will proved weak.

I thought upon the orchids I might lean;
No flowers appeared, but long bare leaves were seen;
Their grace abandoned, vulgar taste to please,
Content with lesser flowers to dwell at ease.

To boasts and flattery the pepper turned;
To fill the pendent bag the dogwood yearned;
Thus only upon higher stations bent,
How could they long retain their former scent?

Since they pursued the fashion of the time,
Small wonder they decayed e' en in their prime.
Viewing the orchids' and the peppers' plight
Why blame the rumex and selinea white?

My jasper pendent rare I was beguiled
To leave, and to this depth then sank defiled.
It blossomed still and never ceased to grow;
Like water did its lovely fragrance flow:

Pleasure I took to wear this bough in sport,
As roaming wild the damsel fair I sought.
Thus in my prime, with ornaments bedecked,
I roved the earth and heaven to inspect.
