Appreciating
我想我认得这座森林,
林主的房子就在前村;
却看不见我在此歇马,
看他林中飘满的雪景。
我的小马一定很惊讶,
周围望不见什么人家,
竟在一年最暗的黄昏,
寒林和冰湖之间停下。
马儿摇响身上的串铃,
问我这地方该不该停。
此外只有清风拂雪片,
再也听不见其他声音。
森林又暗又深真可羡,
但是我已经有约在先,
还要赶多少路才安眠,
还要赶多少路才安眠。
雪夜林畔小驻
译/余光中
Appreciating
我好似一朵孤独的流云,
高高地飘游在山谷之上,
突然我看到一大片鲜花,
是金色的水仙遍地开放。
它们开在湖畔,开在树下
它们随风嬉舞,随风飘荡。
它们密集如银河的星星,
像群星在闪烁一片晶莹;
它们沿着海湾向前伸展,
通向远方仿佛无穷无尽;
一眼看去就有千朵万朵,
万花摇首舞得多么高兴。
粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳,
却不知这水仙舞得轻俏;
诗人遇见这快乐的伙伴,
又怎能不感到欢欣雀跃;
我久久凝视--却未能领悟
这景象所带给我的精神至宝。
后来多少次我郁郁独卧,
感到百无聊赖心灵空漠;
这景象便在脑海中闪现,
多少次安慰过我的寂寞;
我的心又随水仙跳起舞来,
我的心又重新充满了欢乐。
黄水仙花
译/顾子欣
