春在岁岁年年

 一年前翻译的英文诗

Spring, the Sweet Spring

Thomas Nashe

Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king,

Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,

Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing:

 Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!                

The palm and may make country houses gay,

Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,

And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay:

 Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!                

The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,

Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit,

In every street these tunes our ears do greet:

 Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!                

Spring, the sweet spring!    

我的译文：

《春》

托马斯 纳什

春色旖旎最香年，

纤纤花蕾欲争鲜,

清寒不在云衫舞，

喜看莺雀化歌甜。

羔羊嬉戏田间远，

棕梅潜潜弄屋檐，

牧笛载风声漫漫，

群鸟闻得姗姗来。

足吻香泥踏野田，

惹来雏菊踝下怜，

花下流波情万种，

老妪赏得春日闲。

【译记】原诗景悠情美，情趣畅然。尝试用古诗韵律翻译，全篇通韵，尽量契合古诗节奏。为了贴合韵体，措辞上较原诗略有增译、调序和改编，但尽量不偏离原诗独有的意象和情境。拙作一篇，不当之处，望您体谅。
