Lines Written in Early Spring

William Wordsworth

佚 名（譯）

I heard a thousand blended notes,While in a grove I sate reclined,In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

我躺臥在樹林之中，聽著融諧的千萬聲音，閑適的情緒，愉快的思想，卻帶來了憂心忡忡。

To her fair works did Nature link The human soul that through me ran;And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man.

大自然把她的美好事物通過我聯(lián)系人的靈魂，而我痛心萬分，想起了人怎樣對待著人。

Through primrose tufts,in that green bower,The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;And'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes.

那邊綠蔭中的櫻草花叢，有長春花在把花圈編織，我深信每朵花不論大小，都能享受它呼吸的空氣。

The birds around me hopped and played,Their thoughts I cannot measure: —But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

四圍的鳥兒跳了又耍，我不知道它們想些什么，但它們每個細微的動作，似乎都激起心頭的歡樂。

The budding twigs spread out their fan,To catch the breezy air;And I must think, do all I can,That there was pleasure there.

萌芽的嫩枝張臂如扇，捕捉那陣陣的清風，使我沒法不深切地感到，它們也自有歡欣，

If this belief from heaven be sent,If such be Nature's holy plan,Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man?

如果上天叫我這樣相信，如果這是大自然的用心，難道我沒有理由悲嘆人怎樣對待著人？

威廉·華茲華斯(William Wordsworth，1770—1850)是“湖畔派”詩人的重要代表。華茲華斯關于自然的詩歌，優(yōu)美動人，其突出特點就是寓情于景，情景交融。這首《寫于早春》詩風清麗而略含憂傷。詩人用細膩輕柔的語言描寫自然的和諧與歡樂，鮮花、鳥雀、嫩芽，這些最細微的自然之景在詩人筆下是如此曼妙美好。然而如果早春的情愫僅僅是歡暢，固然美麗，卻也未免單薄。詩人在早春的思想里，溝通了自然與靈魂；從萬物的歡樂中，詩人想到了人間的痛苦和悲傷，詩中充滿控訴的無奈。
