林徽因·《“谁爱这不息的变幻”》英译

谁爱这不息的变幻，她的行径？<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

催一阵急雨，抹一天云霞，月亮，

星光，日影，在在都是她的花样，

更不容峰峦与江海偷一刻安定。

骄傲的，她奉着那荒唐的使命：

看花放蕊树凋零，娇娃做了娘；

叫河流凝成冰雪，天地变了相；

都市喧哗，再寂成广漠的夜静！

虽说千万年在她掌握中操纵，

她不曾遗忘一丝毫发的卑微。

难怪她笑永恒是人们造的谎，

来抚慰恋爱的消失，死亡的痛。

但谁又能参透这幻化的轮回，

谁又大胆地爱过这伟大的变换？

 

“Who Love the Endless Reincarnation”

Lin Huiyin

 

Who love the endless reincarnation of her behavior?

A sudden shower, a sky of rosy clouds, moon, stars,

Shadow of the sun, all seem her transformation,

Let alone steal a moment of peace for hill and river.

She has been acting proudly under ridiculous orders:

To see flowers budding, trees withering, girls becoming brides,

Rivers covered with snow, the world has been changing;

Noisy city has fallen into night, into boundless tranquility!

Thousand thousands of years kept in her control,

She has never forgotten her humble origin.

No wonder she ridicules eternity as a pack of lies

For people to soothe lovelornness and painful death,

But who could penetrate the illusory transformation,

Who once boldly loved the great reincarnation?

 

（海岸 译）

 

“Who Loves These Endless Changes?”

Lin Hui-yin

 

Who loves these endless changes, her passage?

Coax a burst of showers, brush the sky with colored clouds,

the moon, the starlight, the shadow of sun—her patterns are everywhere,

Not allowing even mountain peaks and the sea to steal a moment of rest

she proudly serves this ridiculous order:

Watch the flowers bloom and trees wither, young girls become mothers,

Ask the rivers to harden into ice, heaven and earth to change their visage.

The city’s clamor is hushed into the wide quiet of evening!

Though it is aid that she ruled billions of years,

She never forgets any lowliness.

No wonder she laughs at eternity, a lie invented by men,

to comfort the loss of love, the pain of death.

Yet is there someone who can penetrate this wheel of samsara,

who dared not to love this transformation?
