勃朗宁夫人

勃朗宁夫人 她的诗和她的爱情 ,,,女诗人Elizabeth Barrett Browning小传 Elizabeth Browning是十九世纪英国著名女诗人～生于,,,, 年？月,日。十五岁时～不幸骑马跌损了脊椎。从此～下肢瘫痪达, ,年。在她？,岁那年～结识了小她,岁的诗人Robert Browning.她 那充满着哀怨的生命从此打开了新的一章。她本来是一个残废的病人～ 生命～只剩下一长串没有欢乐的日子,青春～在生与死的边缘上黯然 消逝。如今～在迟暮的岁月里赶上了早年的爱情。然而～她只能流着 泪～用无情的沉默来回答一声声爱情的呼唤。但是～爱情战胜了死亡～ 从死亡的阴影里救出了一个已经放弃了生命的人。就象神话中的英雄在 悬崖边救出了被供奉给海怪的公主～替公主打开了裹在她周身的铁链, 她那不知疲倦的情人也帮着她摆脱了她的惊慌、她的疑虑、她的哀怨～ 扶着她一步步来到了阳光底下。她动荡不安的感情逐渐变得稳定了,她 对于人生开始有了信心～产生了眷恋。未来的幸福～不再是一团强烈的 幻光～叫她不敢逼视～不敢伸出手去碰一下了。她敢于拿爱情来报答爱 情了。 这份爱情使她奇迹班地重新站了起来。在病室中被禁锢了,,年之 后～她终于可以凭自己的双脚重新走到阳光下了。 勃朗宁夫妇一起度过了,,年幸福的生活～在这,,年中～从不知 道有一天的分离。,,,,年,月,,日～白朗宁夫人永别了她的Robert。 临终之前～她并没多大病疼～也没有预感～只是觉得倦,那是一个晚上～ 她正和勃朗宁商量消夏的 计划 项目进度计划表范例计划下载计划下载计划下载课程教学计划下载 。她和他谈心说笑～用最温存的话 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 示她的 爱情,后来她感到倦～就偎依在白朗宁的胸前睡去了。她这样地睡了几分 钟～头突然垂了下来,他以为她是一时昏晕～但是她去了～再不回来了。 她在他的怀抱中瞑了目。她的容貌～象少女一般～微笑～快乐。 这部感人的诗集就是他们爱情生活的真实写照。它是英国文学史上的 珍品之一。其美丽动人～甚至超过莎士比亚的十四行诗集。有多人译过这 本诗集～如闻一多～查良铮,金庸,等。但我认为方平译得最好～令人爱 不释手。这里Post的就是方平译本。勃朗宁夫人最初开始写这十四行组诗 大概是在她答应了勃朗宁的求婚以后那一段时期。直到他们婚后住到了比 萨～勃朗宁才读到这本诗集。他不敢把这文学上的无价之宝留给他一个人 享受。,,,,年勃朗宁夫人出版了一卷诗集～把这组十四行诗也收进在 内～共四十四首～还取了一个总名～叫做《葡萄牙人十四行诗集》～用以 掩饰作者身分～因勃朗宁夫人不愿意把个人情诗发表今将这本诗集奉献给 大家～希望大家会喜欢。 晓拂 *01. 勃朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第一首 我想起～当年希腊的诗人曾经歌咏: I thought once how Theocritus had sung 年复一年～那良辰在殷切的盼望中 Of the sweet years, the dear and wished-for years, 翩然降临～各自带一份礼物 Who each one in a gracious hand appears 分送给世人,,年老或是年少。 To bear a gift for mortals, old or young: 当我这么想～感叹着诗人的古调～ And, as I mused it in his antique tongue, 穿过我泪眼所逐渐展开的幻觉～ I saw, in gradual vision through my tears, 我看见～那欢乐的岁月、哀伤的岁月,, The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years, 我自己的年华～把一片片黑影接连着 Those of my own life, who by turns had flung 掠过我的身。紧接着～我就觉察 A shadow across me. Straightway I was 'ware, ,我哭了,我背后正有个神秘的黑影 So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move 在移动～而且一把揪住了我的发～ Behind me, and drew me backward by the hair; 往后拉～还有一声吆喝,我只是在挣扎,: And a voice said in mastery, while I strove, -- “这回是谁逮住了你,猜:”“死～”我答话。 `Guess now who holds thee?' -- `Death.' I said. But, there 听哪～那银铃似的回音:“不是死～是爱:” The silver answer rang, -- `Not Death, but love.' *02. 勃朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第二首 可是在上帝的全宇宙里～总共才只 But only three in all God's universe 三个人听见了你那句话:除了 Have heard this word thou hast said, -- Himself, beside 讲话的你、听话的我～就是他,, Thee speaking, and me listening! and replied 上帝自己:我们中间还有一个 One of us ... _that_ was God, ... and laid the curse 出来答话,那昏黑的诅咒落上 So darkly on my eyelids, as to amerce 我的眼皮～挡了你～不让我看见～ My sight from seeing thee, -- that if I had died, 就算我瞑了目～放上沉沉的“压眼钱”～ The death-weights, placed there, would have signified 也不至于那么彻底隔绝。唉～ Less absolute exclusion. `Nay' is worse 比谁都厉害～上帝的那一声“不行:” From God than from all others, O my friend! 要不然～世俗的诽谤离间不了我们～ Men could not part us with their worldly jars, 任风波飞扬～也不能动摇那坚贞, Nor the seas change us, nor the tempests bend; 我们的手要伸过山岭～互相接触, Our hands would touch for all the mountain-bars 有那么一天～天空滚到我俩中间～ And, heaven being rolled between us at the end, 我俩向星辰起誓～还要更加握紧。 We should but vow the faster for the stars. *03. 勃朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第三首 我们原不一样～尊贵的人儿呀～ Unlike are we, unlike, O princely Heart! 原不一样是我们的职司和前程。 Unlike our uses and our destinies. 你我头上的天使～迎面飞来～ Our ministering two angels look surprise 翅膀碰上了翅膀～彼此瞪着 On one another, as they strike athwart 惊愕的眼睛。你想～你是华宫里 Their wings in passing. Thou, bethink thee, art 后妃的上宾～千百双殷勤的明眸 A guest for queens to social pageantries, ,哪怕挂满了泪珠～也不能教我的眼 With gages from a hundred brighter eyes 有这份光彩,请求你担任领唱。 Than tears even can make mine, to play thy part 那你干什么从那灯光辉映的纱窗里 Of chief musician. What hast _thou_ to do 望向我,,,我～一个凄凉、流浪的 With looking from the lattice-lights at me, 歌手～疲乏地靠着柏树～吟叹在 A poor, tired, wandering singer, ... singing through 茫茫的黑暗里。圣油搽在你头上,, The dark, and leaning up a cypress tree? 可怜我～头上承受着凉透的夜露。 The chrism is on thine head, -- on mine, the dew, -- 只有死～才能把这样的一对扯个平。 And Death must dig the level where these agree. *04. 勃朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第四首 Thou hast thy calling to some palace-floor, 你曾经受到邀请～进入了宫廷～ Most gracious singer of the high poems! where 温雅的歌手:你唱着崇高的诗篇, The dancers will break footing, from the care 贵客们停下舞步～为了好瞻仰你～ Of watching up thy pregnant lips for more. 期待那丰满的朱唇再吐出清音, And dost thou lift this house's latch too poor 而你却抽起我的门闩～你果真 For hand of thine? and canst thou think and bear 不嫌它亵渎了你的手,没谁看见～ To let thy music drop here unaware 你甘让你那音乐飘落在我门前～ In folds of golden fulness at my door? 叠作层层金声的富丽,你忍不忍, Look up and see the casement broken in, 你往上瞧～看这窗户都被闯破,, The bats and owlets builders in the roof! 是蝙蝠和夜莺的窠巢盘踞在顶梁～ My cricket chirps against thy mandolin. 是啾啾的蟋蟀在跟你的琵琶应和: Hush, call no echo up in further proof 住声～别再激起回声来加深荒凉: Of desolation! there's a voice within 那里边有一个哀音～它必须深躲～ That weeps ... as thou must sing ... alone, aloof. 在暗里哭泣,,正象你应该当众歌唱。 *05. 勃朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第五首 我肃穆地端起了我沉重的心～ I lift my heavy heart up solemnly, 象当年希腊女儿捧着那坛尸灰, As once Electra her sepulchral urn, 眼望着你～我把灰撒在你脚下。 And, looking in thine eyes, I overturn 请看呀～有多大一堆悲哀埋藏在 The ashes at thy feet. Behold and see 我这心坎里,而在那灰暗的深处～ What a great heap of grief lay hid [1] in me, 那惨红的灰烬又怎样在隐约燃烧。 And how the red wild sparkles dimly burn 要是那点点火星给你鄙夷地 Through the ashen greyness. If thy foot in scorn 一脚踏灭、还它们一片黑暗～ Could tread them out to darkness utterly, 这样也好。可是～你偏不～ It might be well perhaps. But if instead 你要守在我身旁～等风来把尘土 Thou wait beside me for the wind to blow 扬起～把死灰吹活,爱呀～那戴在 The grey dust up, ... those laurels on thine head, 你头上的桂冠可不能给你做屏障～ O my Beloved, will not shield thee so, 保护你不让这一片火焰烧坏了 That none of all the fires shall scorch and shred 那底下的发丝。快站远些呀～快走: The hair beneath. Stand further off then! go. *06. 勃朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第六首 Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand 舍下我～走吧。可是我觉得～从此 Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore 我就一直徘徊在你的身影里。 Alone upon the threshold of my door 在那孤独的生命的边缘～从今再不能 Of individual life, I shall command 掌握自己的心灵～或是坦然地 The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand 把这手伸向日光～象从前那样～ Serenely in the sunshine as before, 而能约束自己不感到你的指尖 Without the sense of that which I forbore -- 碰上我的掌心。劫运教天悬地殊 Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land 隔离了我们～却留下了你那颗心～ Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine 在我的心房里搏动着双重声响。 With pulses that beat double. What I do 正象是酒～总尝得出原来的葡萄～ And what I dream include thee, as the wine 我的起居和梦寐里～都有你的份。 Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue 当我向上帝祈祷～为着我自个儿 God for myself, He hears the name of thine, 他却听到了一个名字、那是你的, And sees within my eyes the tears of two. 又在我眼里～看见有两个人的眼泪。 *07. 勃朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第七首 The face of all the world is changed, I think, 全世界的面目～我想～忽然改变了～ Since first I heard of the footsteps of thy soul 自从我第一次在心灵上听到你的步子 Move still, oh, still, beside me, as they stole 轻轻、轻轻～来到我身旁,,穿过我和 betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink 死亡的边缘:那幽微的间隙。站在 Of obvious death, where I, who thought to sink, 那里的我～只道这一回该倒下了～ Was caught up into love, and taught the whole 却不料被爱救起～还教给一曲 Of life in a new rhythm.

Who can fear 我嚷道:“再说一遍:我爱你:”谁嫌 Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll, -- 太多的星～即使每颗都在太空转动, Too many flowers, though each shall crown the year? 太多的花～即使每朵洋溢着春意, Say thou dost love me, love me, love me -- toll 说你爱我～你爱我～一声声敲着银钟: The silver iterance! -- only minding, Dear, 只是记住～还得用灵魂爱我～在默默里。 To love me also in silence with thy soul. *22.EEB 白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第二十二首 EBB "Sonnets from the Portuguese", No. XXII 当我俩的灵魂壮丽地挺立起来～ When our two souls stan up erect and strong, 默默地～面对着面～越来越靠拢～ Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher, 那伸张的翅膀在各自弯圆的顶端～ Util the lengthening wings break into fire 迸出了火星。世上还有什么苦恼～ At each curved point, -- what bitter wrong 落到我们头上～而叫我们不甘心 Can the earth do to us, that we should not long 在这里长留,你说哪。再往上～就有 Be here contented? Think. In mounting higher, 天使抵在头上～为我们那一片 The angels would press on us and aspire 深沉、亲密的静默落下成串 To drop some golden orb of perfect song 金黄和谐的歌曲。亲爱的～让我俩 Into our deep, dear silence. Let us stay 就相守在地上吧,,人世的争吵、熙攮 Rather on earth, Beloved, -- where the unfit 都向后退隐～留给纯洁的灵魂 Contrarious moods of men recoil away 一方隔绝～容许在这里面立足～ And isolate pure spirits, and permit 在这里爱～爱上一天～尽管昏黑的 A place to stand and love in for a day, 死亡～不停地在它的四围打转。 With darkness and the death-hour rounding it.
