Thomas Hardy - In the Moonlight 汉译

“O lonely workman, standing there<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

In a dream, why do you stare and stare

At her grave, as no other grave where there?”

 

“If your great gaunt eyes so importune

Her soul by the shine of this corpse-cold moon,

Maybe you'll raise her phantom soon!”

 

“Why, fool, it is what I would rather see

Than all the living folk there be;

But alas, there is no such joy for me!”

 

“Ah - she was one you loved, no doubt,

Through good and evil, through rain and drought,

And when she passed, all your sun went out?”

 

“Nay: she was the woman I did not love,

Whom all the other were ranked above,

Whom during her life I thought nothing of.”

 

月光里

托马斯·哈代

 

喂，孤寂的工人，你为什么，

痴痴地站在这儿瞪着伊的坟墓，

好像偌大的坟园了只葬着伊一个？

 

万一你那双绝望的眼睛，

在这凄冷的月光了恼怒了伊的魂灵，

万一伊的鬼走了出来，可不要吓死了人？

 

你懂什么！那可不真趁了我的心愿！

我宁愿见伊的鬼，不愿看谁的面。

可怜呀，我那会有那样的奇缘！

 

这样看来，伊一定是你恋爱的人，

安乐与患难变不了你的心；

如今伊死了，你便失去了你的光明？

 

不是的，伊不曾受过我爱情的供养，

我当时总觉得别人都比伊强，

可怜伊在日，我从不曾把伊放在心上！
