Ben Jonson - Song to Celia 汉译

Drink to me, only with thine eyes<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss but in the cup,

And I’ll not look for wine.

The thirst that from the soul doth rise

Doth ask a drink divine:

But might I of Jove's nectar sup

I would not change for thine.

 

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,

Not so much honouring thee

As giving it a hope that there

It could not withered be

But thou thereon didst only breathe

And sent’st it back to me:

Since, when it grows and smells, I swear,

Not of itself but thee.

 

给西莉亚之歌

本·琼森

 

只要求你用两眼为我祝酒，

       我也用我的向你回敬；

或者就在杯中留下吻，

       我就不再去寻求佳饮。

这个出自灵魂深处的渴望

       确是要求神圣的琼浆；

但即使我能喝到神赐的仙酒，

       我也不愿将你的替换。

 

不久前我送给你一个玫瑰花环，

       主要不是向你表示敬仰，

而是抱着一个希望，

       它在你那里永不凋残；

但你只是在它上面呼吸一番

       便把它给我送还；

它既然存活，它散发的气味

       不是它自身的而是你的，我可断言。
