《葡萄牙人的十四行诗》伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁 中英对照.doc

这里是最美好的爱情诗 曾经有多少少女爱的启蒙来自这些这里。这里有爱的欢乐，爱的甜蜜，爱的忧伤，爱的神圣，爱的期待，爱的温暖，爱的光芒，爱的勇气，爱的决绝。有多少爱的憧憬因了这些诗句。谨向诗人伊丽莎白·勃朗宁致敬。 01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.
