秦观一首《鹊桥仙》千年以来打动无数人,不知道翻译成英文之后魅力如何?在七夕这天奉上许渊冲先生的权威译本,一起来欣赏。
纤云弄巧,飞星传恨,银汉迢迢暗度。金风玉露一相逢,便胜却人间无数。
柔情似水,佳期如梦,忍顾鹊桥归路!两情若是久长时,又岂在朝朝暮暮!
Clouds float like works of art;
Stars shoot with grief at heart.
Across the Milky Way the Cowherd meets the Maid
When Autumn’s Golden wind embraces Dew of Jades,
All the love scenes on earth,however many, fade
Their tender love flows like a stream;
This happy date seems but a dream.
Can they bear a separate homeward way?
If love between both sides can last for aye,
Why need they stay together night and day? (许渊冲 译)
翻译注释:
金风玉露
金风玉露其实就是指代秋天,大家可能不赞同许渊冲先生这里的直译:golden wind,dew of jades,但是之前有过更扯的翻译:celestial winds and dews,还有什么heavenly dew for gods to drink。许渊冲先生这里一句When Autumn’s Golden wind embraces Dew of Jades,就从字面来看,也还是很有意境很优美的。
