《蒹葭》

蒹葭

《诗经》秦风

蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。

所谓伊人，在水一方。

溯洄从之，道阻且长。

  溯游从之，宛在水中央。

蒹葭萋萋，白露未晞。

所谓伊人，在水之湄。

溯洄从之，道阻且跻。

  溯游从之，宛在水中坻。

蒹葭采采，白露未已。

所谓伊人，在水之涘。

溯洄从之，道阻且右。

  溯游从之，宛在水中沚。

The Reeds

The Reeds

Tr. by Xu Yuancong

Green, green the reed,

Dew and frost gleam.

Where’s she I need?

Beyond the stream.

Upstream I go, the way is long.

Downstream I go, She’s there among.

White, white the reed,

Dew not yet dried.

Where’s she I need?

On the other side.

Upstream I go,

Hard is the way.

Downstream I go ,

She’s far away.

Bright, bright the reed,

Dew and frost blend.

Where’s she I need?

At river’s end.

Upstream I go,

The way does wind.

Downstream I go,

She’s far behind.

Down by the salley gardens

Down by the salley gardens

William Butler Yeats

My love and I did meet

She passed the salley gardens

With little snow-white feet

She bid me take love easy

As the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish

With her would not agree

In a field by the river

My love and I did stand

And on my leaning shoulder

She laid her snow-white hand

She bid me take life easy

As the grass grows on the weirs

But I was young and foolish

And now I'm full of tears

Down by the salley gardens

My love and I did meet

She passed the salley gardens

With little snow-white feet

She bid me take love easy

As the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish

With her would not agree

《莎莉花园》

莎莉花园

佚名

           在莎莉花园深处 吾爱与我曾经相遇 　　 　 

           她雪花般的纤足 向着花园尽头走去 　　 　 

           她嘱我爱得简单 如枝上萌发的新绿 　　 　 

           而年少无知的我 不愿接受她的心语 　　 　 

           在远方河畔旷野 吾爱与我并肩伫立 　　 　 

在我微倾的肩上 她搭起纯白的手臂 

她嘱我活得淡然 像青草生长于河堤

而年少无知的我 如今早已泪湿满衣

在莎莉花园深处 

吾爱与我曾经相遇 　　 

她雪花般的纤足 

向着花园尽头走去
