【文学原创】贴一贴翻译的几首英文小诗

卫康

第一首是英国诗人拉金的《为何昨夜我梦见了你（Why Did I Dream of You Last Night?）》：

原诗：

Why did I dream of you last night?

Now morning is pushing back hair with grey light.

Memories strike home, like slaps in the face;

Raised on elbow, I stare at the pale fog

beyond the window.

So many things I had thought forgotten

Return to my mind with stranger pain:

Like letters that arrive addressed to someone

Who left the house so many years ago.

译作：

为何昨夜我梦见了你？

现在黎明已至，用它灰白色的光梳理我的头发

回忆撞击心门，似乎也在拍打着我的面颊

我用手臂撑起身子，凝望苍白的雾霭

透过  那一边的窗台

那些我原本以为早已忘却的事

此刻却带着莫名的痛楚重回心中

——就像那些寄给故人的信笺

在它们送达之时  早已是人去楼空

第二首是一首小诗《绿》

原诗：

The dawn was apple-green,

The sky was green wine held up in the sun,

The moon was a golden petal between.

She opened her eyes, and green

The shone, clear like flowers undone

For the first time, now for the first time seen.

译作：

黎明成了苹果绿的，

天空像是阳光下举起的绿色美酒，

而月亮  就是一片缀于其间的金色花瓣

她打开了眼睛，和那绿色，

眼波清澈而明媚，宛如尚未绽放的花蕾，

第一次，在此刻第一次被人瞥见

第三首是小诗《印象》的一小段：

原诗：

The flower which the wind has shaken

Is soon filled again with rain;

So does my heart fill slowly with tears,

Until you return.

译作：

被风摇过的花朵，

不久又重新承满了雨滴，

我的心也渐渐承满了泪，

直等到你重回。

中国的现代诗，是否就是受了西方的影响呢？
