再別康橋 (徐志摩)

[B]Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again[/B]


Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.

The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!

That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.

But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away[/COLOR]

謝謝Adelyn, 不愧是一位文學博客...欽佩, 欽佩 [:495:]  [:495:]

Although other versions exist, this is by far the most widely circulated, and probably the best, version on the Internet. The funny thing is that there is no "author" attached to this version even thought it is the most popular.
  Other versions exist. For those of you who are interested, you can find them at: http://www.rainlane.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=8&ID=4372 floors 8 and 11.
   When I participated in a discussion of this translation some years back at the cn-trans forum, I mentioned that there is a particular name for those "rosy clouds."  The sky is read both at dawn and dusk, but the context of this poem indicate the time is at sun-set. Only about a year ago I remembered the term was "crimson clouds."
  Anyone interested in going for a new version is invited to do so.

[CENTER]再別康橋

　　詞：徐志摩
　　選自：張清芳-留聲-曠野寄情



　　輕輕的我走了，
　　正如我輕輕的來；
　　我輕輕的招手，
　　作別西天的雲彩。

　　那河畔的金柳
　　是夕陽中的新娘
　　波光里的艷影，
　　在我的心頭蕩漾。

　　軟泥上的青荇，
　　油油的在水底招搖；

　　在康河的柔波里，
　　我甘心做一條水草

　　那榆蔭下的一潭，
　　不是清泉，是天上虹
　　揉碎在浮藻間，
　　沉澱著彩虹似的夢。
　　　　　　　　　
    尋夢???
　　撐一支長篙，
　　向青草更青處漫溯，
　　滿載一船星輝，
　　在星輝斑斕里放歌
　　但我不能放歌，
　　悄悄是別離的笙簫；
　　夏蟲也為我沉默，
　　沉默是今晚的康橋！

　　悄悄的我走了，
　　正如我悄悄的來；
　　我揮一揮衣袖，
　　不帶走一片雲彩。 [/COLOR] [/CENTER]
