William Wordsworth - The Green Linnet 汉译

Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed

Their snow-white blossoms on my head,

With brightest sunshine round me spread

Of spring’s unclouded weather,

In this sequestered nook how sweet

To sit upon my orchard-seat!

And birds and flowers once more to greet,

My last year’s friends together.

One have I marked, the happiest guest

In all this covert of the blest:

Hail to Thee, far above the rest

In joy of voice and pinion!

Thou, Linnet! in thy green array,

Presiding Spirit here today,

Dost lead the revels of the May;

And this is thy dominion.

While bird, and butterflies, and flowers,

Make all one band of paramours,

Thou, ranging up and down the bowers,

Art sole in thy employment:

A Life, a Presence like the Air,

Scattering thy gladness without care,

Too blest with any one to pair;

Thyself thy own enjoyment.

Amid yon tuft of hazel trees,

That twinkle to the gusty breeze,

Behold him perched in ecstasies,

Yet seeming still to hover;

There! where the flutter of his wings

Upon his back and body flings

Shadows and sunny glimmerings,

That cover him all over.

My dazzled sight he oft deceives,

A Brother of the dancing leaves;

Then flits, and from the cottage eaves

Pours forth his song in gushes;

As if by that exulting strain

He mocked and treated with disdain

The voiceless Form he chose to feign,

While fluttering in the bushes.

绿山雀

雪白的花瓣轻轻飘飏，

从果树枝头落到我头上，

周遭是一片耀眼的阳光，

春日里，晴朗和煦；

多美呀，在这隐僻的角落，

在我家果园椅子上独坐，

又一次欢迎鸟雀和花朵，

去年的旧侣又重聚！

这里，幸运儿聚会的地方，

有一位小客人最为欢畅：

甜美的歌喉，轻灵的翅膀，

胜过所有的羽族；

欢迎你，山雀！你披着绿衫，

今天，你是这里的指挥官，

是你导演着五月的狂欢，

这里是你的领土！

春花朵朵，蝴蝶，鸣禽，

全都配成了一对对情人；

而你，来回游息于绿阴，

总是孤零零一个；

这生命，这精灵，像空气一样，

散步着欢乐，不知有忧伤，

你太幸运了，谁也配不上；

自个儿自得其乐！

微风里，榛树丛光影摇曳，

树丛间，瞧得见栖息的山雀，

它伫立枝头，满心喜悦，

仿佛还想要飞升；

你瞧！它已经拍动翅膀，

让斑斑阴影、闪闪阳光

洒在它身上，洒在它背上，

洒遍了它的周身！

它常常弄得我眼花缭乱，

错把它看成绿叶一片；

蓦地，它飞上农舍屋檐，

倾吐出滔滔歌曲；

树丛里，它曾把绿叶假冒；

这时，它畅快淋漓的曲调

又仿佛是对绿叶的嘲笑——

笑它像哑巴，不言语。
