As I walked out one evening

《當(dāng)我在某個(gè)夜晚漫步》

W.H. Auden

奧登

As I walked out one evening.

當(dāng)我在某個(gè)夜晚漫步。行走在布里斯托爾大街上，

Walking down Bristol Street,

道路上滿是人群，就像小麥正待收割的田野。

the crowds upon the pavement were fields of harvest wheat.

緊挨著那條水波四溢的河流，

And down by the brimming river

在那鐵路橋的橋拱下，

I heard a lover sing under an arch of the railway:

我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)一個(gè)情人在那兒歌唱：

"Love has no ending. I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you

"愛(ài)情永無(wú)止境。我將愛(ài)你，親愛(ài)的，我會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)愛(ài)你，

Till China and Africa meet, and the river jumps over the mountain,

直到中國(guó)和非洲會(huì)合，直到河水從山脈上越過(guò)，

and the salmon sing in the street.

那魚(yú)兒也能跑到大街上歌唱。

I’ll love you till the ocean is folded and hung up to dry,

我會(huì)愛(ài)你，直到大海折疊，掛起來(lái)曬干，

and the seven stars go squawking like geese about the sky.

直到七星改變了形狀，仿佛天空中一只天鵝在鳴叫。

The years shall run like rabbits,

時(shí)光猶如野兔般向前飛奔，

for in my arms I hold the flower of the ages,

但我的手臂間還抱著古老的鮮花——

and the first love of the world.

還有對(duì)這世界最初的愛(ài)。"

But all the clocks in the city began to whirr and chime:

但是城市里所有的時(shí)鐘開(kāi)始發(fā)出陣陣轟鳴：

"O let not Time deceive you, you cannot conquer time."

"啊，不要讓時(shí)間把你欺騙，你不可能戰(zhàn)勝時(shí)間。

In the burrows of the nightmare where justice naked is,

在惡夢(mèng)的洞穴深處有的是赤裸裸的公理，

time watches from the shadow and coughs when you would kiss.

那時(shí)間在陰影中觀察，在你想要親吻時(shí)咳嗽提示。

In headaches and in worry vaguely life leaks away,

在頭疼和焦慮中，生命不知不覺(jué)中逝去，

and time will have his fancy tomorrow or today.

時(shí)間的幻想終會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)，不在今朝就在明日。

Into many a green valley drifts the appalling snow;

曾經(jīng)綠蔭蔥蘢的山谷，彌漫著駭人的大雪;

Time breaks the threaded dances and the diver’s brilliant bow.

時(shí)間打斷如織的舞步，還有跳水人的華麗躬身。

"O plunge your hands in water; Plunge them in up to the wrist;

"啊，把你的雙手伸進(jìn)水里，讓水流漫過(guò)你的手腕;

Stare, stare in the basin and wonder what you’ve missed."

凝視，凝視盆中，想想你究竟錯(cuò)過(guò)了什么 。

The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed.

冰河撞擊著你的碗櫥，沙漠在你的床鋪上嘆息，

And the crack in the tea-cup opens a lane to the land of the dead.

茶杯上的裂縫變大了，打開(kāi)了一條通往死域的路。

Where the beggars raffle the banknotes and the giant is enchanting to Jack.

在那兒乞丐中彩得了鈔票，杰克被那巨獎(jiǎng)迷惑得神魂顛倒，

And the Lily-white boy is a roarer, and Jill goes down on her back.

那純真無(wú)邪的男孩在咆哮，吉爾躺倒在地上。

"O look, look in the mirror, O look in your distress;

哦，快看，快看那面鏡子，看看鏡中你的憂愁;

Life remains a blessing although you cannot bless.

盡管你無(wú)法祈福，生活還是上天的賜福。

O stand, stand at the window as the tears scald and start;

哦，站起來(lái)，快站到窗前，你滾燙的熱淚開(kāi)始流滴;

You shall love your crooked neighbour with your crooked heart."

你應(yīng)該用你那顆扭曲的心，去愛(ài)那些狡詐的鄰居。"

It was late, late in the evening. The lovers they were gone;

已經(jīng)是很深很深的夜晚。那些情人們?cè)缫央x去，

The clocks had ceased their chiming, and the deep river ran on.

時(shí)鐘停止了奏鳴，只留下深深的水流繼續(xù)流淌。
