莎士比亞十四行詩新譯與賞析

李紹青 （河北農業大學 河北保定 071001）

翻譯莎士比亞十四行詩，筆者刻意追求歸化，大膽嘗試打油詩體。本人譯詩尚未入道，在此平臺“童言無忌”。

SONNET 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 怎能將你比夏天？

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 夏天沒有你溫婉！

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 狂風五月蓓蕾殘，

And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 夏日勾留何其短？

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 麗日當空難留戀，

And often is his gold complexion dimmed, 云霧迷蒙轉眼間。

And every fair from fair sometime declines, 百花飄零莫驚嘆，

By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: 萬物生死由判官。

But thy eternal summer shall not fade, 君之美艷永不減，

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, 詩中汝色更保鮮。

Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, 死神索你空往返，

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, 奈何麗人駐詩篇。

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, 只要吾詩萬代傳，

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 世人矚目你芳顏！

【本詩主旨：人生百年幾春秋？我將汝美詩中留！自信吾詩能不朽，君之靚麗可長久。】

Summer is usually out of Chinese people’s favor. However, it is associated with mildness and beauty in English.In this sonnet Shakespeare compared his dear friend with summer.

原詩 譯文一 譯文二

O! How thy worth with manners may I sing, 我的優點盡歸你， 你我合一相守候，

When thou art all the better part of me? 夸你豈不是越禮？ 夸你等于自夸口。

What can mine own praise to mine own self bring? 贊你等于夸自己， 在下并非孫仲謀，

And what is't but mine own when I praise thee 自賣自夸又何必？ 自大過點字念臭。

Even for this, let us divided live, 為此我倆明分離， 縱然詩才高八斗，

And our dear love lose name of single one, 靈魂暗里在一起。 無法將你贊美夠。

That by this separation I may give 客觀你我沒關系， 暫時分開不分手，

That due to thee which thou deserv'st alone. 我好夸你到極致。 單獨頌你無遺漏。

O absence! What a torment wouldst thou prove, 天各一方苦無比， 相思固然很難受，

Were it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave, 度日如年靠相思。 夢中享用你溫柔。

To entertain the time with thoughts of love, 思念情人很甜蜜， 一分為二品離愁，

Which time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive, 望梅止渴樂自欺。 念你贊你兩自由。

And that thou teachest how to make one twain, 有君想我不孤寂， 分別雖苦有盡頭，

By praising him here who doth hence remain. 你在吾心賽西施！ 悲歡離合隨節奏。

【該詩蘊含的哲理是“人有悲歡離合。”“我不怕旅途孤單寂寞，只要你也想念我！”“小別勝新婚。”“分開不分手，珍惜我擁有!”……或者都不是，只可會意，不可言傳！】

打油詩也是詩歌園地的一朵奇葩。筆者試著中西合璧、古今結合，拙現幾分創新意識，旨在拋磚引玉，如蒙內行扶持，也不枉貽笑大方。
