Dream and Poetry
《梦与诗》
Hu Shi
胡适
It‘s all ordinary experience,
All ordinary images.
都是平常经验，
都是平常影象。
By chance they emerge in a dream,
Turning out infinite new patterns.
偶然涌到梦中来，
变幻出多少新奇花样！
It’s all ordinary feelings,
AH ordinary words.
都是平常情感，
都是平常言语。
By chance they encounter a poet,
Turning out infinite new verses.
偶然碰着个诗人，
变幻出多少新奇诗句！
Once intoxicated,
one learns the strength of wine,
醉过才知酒浓，
Once smitten,
one learns the power of love;
爱过才知情重。
You cannot write my poems
Just as I can not dream your dreams.
你不能做我的诗，
正如我不能做你的梦。
——————————
我爱你，亲爱的，我爱你，
一直爱到中国与非洲相撞，
爱到大河跳上了山顶。
鲑鱼来到大街上歌唱。
我爱你，直至海洋被关进栅栏，
为了晒干而被人倒挂；
直至七颗星星粗声喊叫，
就像空中出现了鹅鸭。
岁月将像兔子一样奔跑，
因为我以自己的心坎，
紧紧搂住时代的花朵
以及大千世界的初恋。
查良铮 译
As I Walked Out One Evening
I'll love you, dear, I'll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street,
I'll love you till the ocean
Is folded and hung up to dry
And the seven stars go squawking
Like geese about the sky.
The years shall run like rabbits,
For in my arms I hold
The Flower of the Ages,
And the first love of the world.
葬礼蓝调
停止所有的时钟，切断电话
给狗一块浓汁的骨头，让他别叫
黯哑了钢琴，随着低沉的鼓
抬出灵怄，让哀悼者前来。
让直升机在头顶悲旋
在天空狂草着信息他已逝去，
把黑纱系在信鸽的白颈，
让交通员戴上黑色的手套。
他曾经是我的东，我的西，我的南，我的北，
我的工作天，我的休息日，
我的正午，我的夜半，我的话语，我的歌吟，
我以为爱可以不朽：我错了。
不再需要星星，把每一颗都摘掉，
把月亮包起，拆除太阳，
倾泻大海，扫除森林；
因为什么也不会再有意味。
娜斯 译
Funeral Blues
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead，
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West.
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
