雙語詩歌翻譯|張炎·《壺中天》

《壺中天》是宋代詞人張炎的作品。這首詞是以描寫古黃河為主的。此詞一改張炎“婉約”的形象，在“夜渡古黃河”這樣的題材中，自然帶有黃河古道的粗獷蒼勁的風(fēng)格。從詞風(fēng)上講，張炎此詞似更似東坡、稼軒之詞風(fēng)。

張炎 《壺中天》

揚(yáng)舲萬里，
笑當(dāng)年底事，
中分南北。
須信平生無夢到，
卻向而今游歷。
老柳官河，
斜陽古道，
風(fēng)定波猶直。
野人驚問，
泛槎何處狂客？

迎面落葉蕭蕭，
水流沙共遠(yuǎn)，
都無行跡。
衰草凄迷秋更綠，
唯有閑鷗獨(dú)立。
浪挾天浮，
山邀云去，
銀浦橫空碧。
扣舷歌斷，
海蟾飛上孤白。

Sky in a Vase
Crossing the Yellow River at Night
Zhang Yan

I sail a boat for miles and miles
And ask with smiles
Why should the Yellow River then divide
The land into northern and southern sides?
I believe all my life long I have not a dream
Of the Yellow River, but how I see the stream.
The rivershore with willow trees,
The ancient pathways in departing sunrays,
The waves seem straight when calms the breeze.
People ask me in surprise:
Why should I said a boat at moonrise?

Leaves fall shower by shower in my face,
Water with sand flows far away.
Without leaving a trace. Withered grass veils Autumn’s green lands.
Only a gull at leisure stands.
The skies on surging waves float;
Mountains invite the clouds to come down from on high.
The Silver River bars the blue sky.
I sing and beat on the deck of my boat.
The lonely moon in flight
Has turned the Yellow River bright.
