英譯《兩代人》

李孟云?龍輝

摘 要：一株茉莉也許沒有沁人心脾的芳香，但它永遠(yuǎn)會讓你感到清新，感到幽雅，父愛就是這樣，猶如茉莉一樣靜靜地開放。無論你在何方，父親那慈愛的眼睛定會伴隨你一生。英譯《兩代人》用以往不同的表達(dá)方式描寫了對父親的愛。歲月無情，親情無價，陪伴是最長情的告白，時間就是最珍貴的禮物。

關(guān)鍵詞：《兩代人》；爸爸；媽媽；兒子

《兩代人》原文

一

爸爸，你說：你年輕的時候，狂熱地尋找著愛情。可是，爸爸，你知道嗎？就在你對著月光，繞著桃花樹一遍一遍轉(zhuǎn)著圈子，就在你跑進(jìn)滿是野花的田野里一次一次打著滾兒，你渾身沸騰著一股熱流，那就是我；我也正在尋找著你呢！

爸爸，你說：你和我媽媽結(jié)婚了，你是世上最幸福的人。可是，爸爸，你知道嗎？就在你新喜之夜和媽媽合吃了鬧房人吊的一顆棗兒，就在你蜜月的第一個黎明，窗臺上的長明燭結(jié)了燈彩兒，那棗肉里的核兒，就是我，那光焰中的芯兒，就是我。——你從此就有了抗?fàn)幍膶︻^了！

二

爸爸，你總是夸耀，說你是媽媽的保護(hù)人，而善良的媽媽把青春無私地送給了你。可是，爸爸，你知道嗎？媽媽是懷了誰，才變得那么羞羞怯怯，似蓮花不勝涼風(fēng)的溫柔；才變得綽綽雍雍，似中秋的明月豐豐盈盈？又是生了誰，才又漸漸褪去了臉上的一層粉粉的紅暈，消失了一種迷迷麗麗的靈光水氣？

爸爸，你總是自負(fù)，說你是媽媽的占有者，而賢惠的媽媽一個心眼兒關(guān)懷你。

可是，爸爸，你知道嗎，當(dāng)媽媽懷著我的時候，你敢輕輕撞我一下嗎？媽媽偷偷地一個人發(fā)笑，是對著你嗎？你能叫媽媽說清你第一次出牙，是先出上牙，還是先出下牙嗎？你的人生第一聲哭，她聽見過嗎？

三

爸爸，你總是對著鏡子憂愁你的頭發(fā)。你明白是誰偷了你的頭發(fā)里的黑嗎？你總是摸著自己的臉面焦慮你的皮肉。你明白是誰偷了你臉上的紅嗎？爸爸，那是我，是我。在媽媽面前，咱們一直是決斗者，我是輸過，你是贏過，但是，最后你是徹底地輸了的。所以，你嫉妒過我，從小就對我不耐心，常常打我。

爸爸，當(dāng)你身子越來越彎，像一棵曲了的柳樹，你明白是誰在你的腰上裝了一張弓嗎？當(dāng)你的痰越來越多，每每咳起來一扯一送，你明白是誰在你的喉嚨里裝上了風(fēng)箱嗎？爸爸，那是我，是我。在媽媽的面前，咱們一直是決斗者，我是輸過，你是贏過，但是，最后你是徹底地輸了。所以，你討好過我，曾把我架在你的脖子上，叫我寶寶。

四

啊，爸爸，我深深地知道，沒有你，就沒有我，而有了我，我卻是將來埋葬你的人。但是，爸爸，你不要悲傷，你不要忌恨，你要深深地理解：孩子是當(dāng)母親的一生最得意的財產(chǎn)，我是屬于我的媽媽的，你不是也有過屬于你的媽媽的過去嗎？啊，爸爸，我深深地知道，有了我，我就要在將來埋葬了你。但是，爸爸，你不要悲傷，你不要忌恨，你要深深地相信，你曾經(jīng)埋葬過你的爸爸，你沒有忘記你是他的兒子，我怎么會從此就將你忘掉了呢？

Father and Son

I

Father， you told me that you were seeking love from mother zealously when you were young， but do you know while you and mother were walking around the peach tree under the moonlight again and again or rolling in the field of wild flowers and rolled on the ground over and over again， I was the warm stream running inside you. I was also looking for you！

Father， you told me that you were the happiest man in the world when you got married with my mother. But do you know that when you two ate a jujube hung by the bridal chambers at the wedding night， I was the jujube pit. At the first daybreak of your honeymoon， the ever-bright candles at the window decorated the lanterns， and I was the wick of the light. From then on， you had an “enemy”.

II

Father， you were always boasting that you were the protector of mother， but my kind mother gave you her precious youth selflessly. However， do you know who made mother as shy as the tender lotus in breeze and as plump as the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Day？ And do you know who had taken away the beautiful flush and ruddy luster on mothers face？

Father， you were always so conceited that you claimed to be the only occupant of mother， while my virtuous mother cares for you all the time.endprint

But， father， when mother was pregnant， did you dare you gently hit mother？ Did mother often snigger at you？ Can you learn from my mother whether you grow a top teeth or a bottom one first？ Had she heard your first cry in your life？

III

Father， you were always worried about your grey hair when looking into the mirror. Do you know who stole your jet-black hair？ And you were always worried about your skin when touching your face. Do you know who stole your ruddy skin？ Father， it is me， its me. In the presence of my mother， we were competitors and you were the winner. However， you lost in the end. So you were jealous of me， impatient with me and beat me frequently when I was a small child.

Father， do you know who has fixed a bow in your waist when you get older and curved like a willow？ Do you know who has installed a bellows in your throat when you coughed more and more often？ Father， its me. In front of my mother， we were competitors and you were the winner. However， you lost in the end. So you ingratiated yourself with me， let me sit on your neck， and treat me as the apple of eyes.

IV

Alas， father， I knew deeply that you are the only one who brought me to the world. However， I will be the one to bury you in the future. Father， do not grieve and never resent. You should understand that： Children are the most precious treasure for a mother in her life， and I belong to my mother. You had also belonged to your mother in her lifetime， is that right？ Oh， father， I knew deeply that it is I who will bury you in the future. But father， do not grieve and never resent. You should believe that I wont forget you， just like you had buried your father and you never forgot you were his son. How can I forget you from then on？endprint
