雙語詩歌翻譯|屈原-《楚辭·離騷》

《離騷》是戰(zhàn)國時期著名詩人屈原的代表作之一，是中國古代漢族詩歌史上一首最長的政治抒情詩。詩人從自敘身世、品德、理想寫起，抒發(fā)了自己遭讒言被害的苦悶與矛盾心情，揭露了楚王昏庸、群小猖獗與朝政日非的政治現(xiàn)實(shí)，表現(xiàn)了詩人堅持“美政” 理想、不附和邪惡勢力的自愛精神及對楚王朝至死不渝的忠誠。

屈原 《楚辭·離騷》

欲從靈氛之吉占兮，心猶豫而狐疑。巫咸將夕降兮，懷椒糈而要之。

百神翳其備降兮，九疑繽其并迎?；守哓咂鋼P(yáng)靈兮，告余以吉故。

曰：“勉升降以上下兮，求矩矱之所同。湯、禹儼而求合兮，摯、咎繇而能調(diào)。

茍中情其好修兮，又何必用夫行媒？說操筑於傅巖兮，武丁用而不疑。

呂望之鼓刀兮，遭周文而得舉。寧戚之謳歌兮，齊桓聞以該輔。

及年歲之未晏兮，時亦猶其未央?？柱Y鴂之先鳴兮，使夫百草為之不芳?！?/p>

WAlthough the witches counsel I held good,
In foxlike indecision still I stood.
At night the wizard great made his descent,
And meeting him spiced rice I did present.

The angels came, shading with wings the sky;
From mountains wild the deities drew nigh.
With regal splendor shone the solemn sight,
And thus the wizard spake with omens bright:

"Take office high or low as days afford,
If one there be that could with thee accord;
Like ancient kings austere who sought their mate,
Finding the one who should fulfill their fate.

Now if thy heart doth cherish grace within,
What need is there to choose a go-between?
A convict toiled on rocks to expiate
His crime; his sovereign gave him great estate.

A butcher with his knife made roundelay;
His king chanced there and happy proved the day.
A prince who heard a cowherd chanting late
Raised him to be a councilor of state.

Before old age o' ertake thee on thy way,
Life still is young; to profit turn thy day.
Spring is but brief, when cuckoos start to sing,
And flowers will fade that once did spread and spring."
