舒婷-致橡树中英文对照-翻译赏析

舒婷：《致橡树》（中英双语）

《致橡树》是“朦胧派五将”之一舒婷的作品，创作于1977 年 3 月，是文革过后最早发表的爱情诗。在此之前，旧式诗文中常常用青藤缠树、花叶依风等纤柔、妩媚的

形象来描绘情爱关系中的女性；而诗人别具一格地选择了“木棉”与“橡树”两个中

心意象，向世人展示了新一代女性心目中“伟大的爱情”——扎根于同一片土地之上，

同甘共苦、冷暖相依。

【原诗】致橡树

作者：舒婷【 Johanna Yueh 修改版】To the Oak Tree

By Shu Ting

我如果爱你——

绝不像攀援的凌霄花借你的高枝炫耀自己If I love you --

I will never be a clinging trumpet creeper Using your high boughs to show off my height

我如果爱你——

绝不学痴情的鸟儿

为绿荫重复单调的歌曲If I love you --

I will never be a spoony bird

Repeating a monotonous song for green shade

也不止像泉源

常年送来清凉的慰藉

也不止像险峰

增加你的高度，衬托你的威仪

甚至日光

甚至春雨

不，这些都还不够Or be a spring

Bringing cool solace all year long

Or be a steep peak

Increasing your stature, reflecting your eminence Even the sunlight

Even the spring rain

No, all these are not enough

我必须是你近旁的一株木棉作为树的形象和你站在一起根，紧握在地下

叶，相触在云里

每一阵风过

我们都互相致意

但没有人

听懂我们的言语I must be a ceiba tree beside you

Be the image of a tree standing together with you Our roots, entwined underground

Our leaves, touching in the clouds

With each gust of wind

We greet each other

But nobody

Can understand our words

你有你的铜枝铁干

像刀、像剑，也像戟

我有我的红硕花朵

像沉重的叹息

又像英勇的火炬

我们分担寒潮、风雷、霹雳

You'll have your copper branches and iron trunk

Like knives, like swords, like halberds, too

I'll have my crimson flowers Like heavy sighs

And valiant torches

We'll share cold spells, storms and thunder

我们共享雾霭、流岚、虹霓仿佛永远分离却又终身相依We'll share mists, hazes and rainbows Seemingly always apart

But also forever interdependent

这才是伟大的爱情坚贞就在这里爱——

不仅爱你伟岸的身躯也爱你坚持的位置，足下的土地Only this can be great love

The loyalty is here

Love --

I love not only your strapping stature But also your firm stand ，

the earth beneath you

我如果爱你 ---

绝不像攀缘的凌霄花，

借你的高枝炫耀自己；

我如果爱你 ---

绝不学痴情的鸟儿，

为绿荫重复单调的歌曲；
