Walt Whitman - Native Moments 汉译

Native moments--when you come upon me--ah you are here now,

Give me now libidinous joys only,

Give me the drench of my passions, give me life coarse and rank,

To-day I go consort with Nature’s darlings, to-night too,

I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men,

I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers,

The echoes ring with our indecent calls, I pick out some low person for my dearest friend,

He shall be lawless, rude, illiterate, he shall be one condemn’d by others for deeds done,

I will play a part no longer, why should I exile myself from my companions?

O you shunn’d persons, I at least do not shun you,

I come forthwith in your midst, I will be your poet,

I will be more to you than to any of the rest.

顺乎天性的时刻

顺乎天性的时刻——在你来到我身边的时候——啊，你现在已来到我这里，

只要现在就给我性的欢乐，

让我浸透在我的情欲中，请给我粗俗而腥臭的生活，

今天我要去和大自然的宠儿做伴，今晚也如此，

我赞成那些纵欲的人们，我参加青年们午夜的狂欢，

我和跳舞的跳舞，和喝酒的喝酒，

回声震响着我们放荡的叫嚷声，我选一个下流的人做我最亲热的朋友，

他将无法无天，粗野不文，他将是一个干了坏事而受到别人谴责的人，

我将不再装腔作势，我何必流放自己、离开我的同伴呢？

啊，你们这些被人们躲避的人们，至少我不躲避你们，

我走出来站在你们中间，我要做你们的诗人，
