转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。
译文:
The moon goes round the mansions red
With gauze windows to shed
Her light upon the sleepless bed.
Against man she should not have any spite.
Why then when people part is she oft full and bright?
Men have sorrow and joy, they part and meet again;
The moon may be bright or dim, she may wax or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since olden days.
So let us wish that man live as long as he can!
Though miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays.
赏析:
这一段中有不少脍炙人口的佳句,如“人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。但愿人长久,千里共婵娟”,这几句的英译文极好,很值得借鉴或直接背诵。这里想说的是第一句,月亮转过朱红的楼阁,挂在雕花的窗上,照着丝毫没有睡意的自己。
这句译文很巧妙,将“照无眠”译作shed her light upon the sleepless bed。无眠的是人,译文中却用sleepless来形容bed。而床无眠只有一种情况,就是人没有躺在上面,侧面映衬了作者毫无睡意,可能正站在床前赏月吧。
不过这句话见仁见智,小伙伴们对此有何感想呢?愿此刻你所在的地方无风无雨,明月皎洁。
