英诗翻译Inme,past,pr...
译者观鱼
近读流传甚⼴的余光中所译Siegfried Sassoon⼀⾸诗，发现余⽒译⽂有形⽆神。

于是尝试重新翻译。

In me, past, present, future meet，在我⼼⾥，过去、现在和未来重聚，
To hold long chiding conference. 久久的互相斥责，斥责⼜喘息。

My lusts usurp the present tense 我的欲夺取了现在的⼀切
And strangle Reason in his seat. ⼀切的理智都被扼杀在摇篮⾥。

My loves leap through the future's fence 我的爱踯躅在遥远的未来，
To dance with dream-enfranchised feet. 未来的舞步充满幻梦的⽓息。

In me the cave-man clasps the seer, 在我⼼⾥，野蛮⼈和预⾔家交缠在⼀起，
And garlanded Apollo goes ⽽拈花⼀笑的如来佛竟在
Chanting to Abraham's deaf ear. 姜⼦⽛的聋⽿畔唱诗。

In me the tiger sniffs the rose. 在我⼼⾥，⼀只虎可以轻嗅玫瑰。

Look in my heart, kind friends, and tremble, 如果你能看见，朋友，你应颤栗，
Since there your elements assemble. 只因在那⾥，你和你终成⼀体。
