雙語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌·“細(xì)長(zhǎng)的家伙”

“細(xì)長(zhǎng)的家伙”

A Narrow Fellow in the Grass

狄金森

Emily Dickinson

一條細(xì)長(zhǎng)細(xì)長(zhǎng)的家伙

A narrow Fellow in the Grass

偶然在青草叢里奔出——

Occasionally rides—

你可能遇見(jiàn)過(guò)他——不是嗎

You may have met Him—did you not

他的出現(xiàn)是那么急促——

His notice sudden is—

像有把梳子梳開(kāi)了青草——

The Grass divides as with a Comb—

一支斑駁的利箭露出來(lái)——

A spotted shaft is seen—

你腳下青草重新合攏

And then it closes at your feet

又繼續(xù)向前一路分開(kāi)——

And opens further on—

他喜歡沼澤地帶

He likes a Boggy Acre

不宜栽種麥子的冷坂田——

A Floor too cool for Corn—

我還是赤腳孩子的時(shí)候

Yet when A Boy, and Barefoot—

曾經(jīng)不止一次在午間——

I more than once at Noon

走過(guò)（我以為）一條鞭梢

Have passed, I thought, a Whip lash

如太陽(yáng)底下松散的發(fā)辮

Unbraiding in the Sun

我彎下腰去要拾起它來(lái)

When stooping to secure it

它卻一縮身竄走不見(jiàn)——

It wrinkled, and was gone—

我認(rèn)識(shí)大自然的一些子民

Several of Nature's People

他們對(duì)我也認(rèn)識(shí)——

I know, and they know me—

我總感到同他們交流著

I feel for them a transport

一種內(nèi)心的誠(chéng)摯——

Of cordiality —

但是不論結(jié)伴或獨(dú)行

But never met this Fellow

每次跟這個(gè)家伙相遇

Attended, or alone

我總是覺(jué)得呼吸緊迫

Without a tighter breathing

覺(jué)得骨頭里冷到零度——

And Zero at the Bone—
