郭沫若翻译思想及作品评析.doc

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
摇篮曲
哦,从田野归来的人们!
请悄悄地走进家门。
脚步轻点,轻点,
哦,归来的人们。
宝宝就要睡去,
离开我,离开你们。
在梦乡,玛莉会把件蓝披风,
盖在宝宝身上!
闻不到呛人的炊烟,
感觉不到地板的寒凉,
也不怕什么东西透过半敞的门,
朝屋里窥望。
哦,从田野归来的人们!
请轻点,轻轻地走过,
玛莉把她的蓝披风,
裹在宝宝身上。
老虎
老虎!老虎!黑夜的森林中
燃烧着的煌煌的火光,
是怎样的神手或天眼
造出了你这样的威武堂堂?
你炯炯的两眼中的火
燃烧在多远的天空或深渊?
他乘着怎样的翅膀搏击?
用怎样的手夺来火焰?
又是怎样的膂力,怎样的技巧,
把你的心脏的筋肉捏成?
当你的心脏开始搏动时,
使用怎样猛的手腕和脚胫?
是怎样的槌?怎样的链子?
在怎样的熔炉中炼成你的脑筋?
是怎样的铁砧?怎样的铁臂
敢于捉着这可怖的凶神?
群星投下了他们的投枪。
用它们的眼泪润湿了穹苍,
他是否微笑着欣赏他的作品?
他创造了你,也创造了羔羊?
老虎!老虎!黑夜的森林中
燃烧着的煌煌的火光,
是怎样的神手或天眼
造出了你这样的威武堂堂?
(郭沫若译)
A Cradle Song
O, men from the fields!
Come gently within.
Tread softly, softly,
O! ing in.
Mavourneen is going
From me and from you,
Where Mary will fold him
With mantle of blue!
From re
ek of the smoke
And cold of the floor,
And the peering of things
Across the half-door.
O, men from the fields!
Soft, e thro?
Mary puts round him
Her mantle of blue.
Padraic Colum (培德莱克·科拉姆)(1881-1972),爱尔兰诗人,后迁居美国,其父为一作坊主。他毕业于都柏林的三一学院,与著名诗人叶芝有交往,与《尤利西斯》的作者James Joyce(詹姆斯·乔伊斯)是密友。作品有诗集Wild Earth(《野地》),还有长篇小说、剧本、民间传说集等。科拉姆擅长描写爱尔兰的农村生活,抒情诗保持着爱尔兰民间文学传统,他的诗歌大都有谱曲,故将此诗名译为《摇篮曲》。
这首《摇篮曲》散发着浓郁的爱尔兰乡土气息。通过母亲哄宝宝入睡的吟唱,显示出母亲对婴儿的珍爱及无微不至的关怀:尽管大人们忙碌了一天,正疲惫不堪地从田野返回,但还要请你们放慢脚步,轻轻地走进家门,以免惊醒宝宝,字里
