Robert Frost - Sand Dunes 汉译

Sea waves are green and wet,

But up from where they die,

Rise others vaster yet,

And those are brown and dry.

They are the sea made land

To come at the fisher town,

And bury in solid sand

The men she could not drown.

She may know cove and cape,

But she does not know mankind

If by any change of shape,

She hopes to cut off mind.

Men left her a ship to sink:

They can leave her a hut as well;

And be but more free to think

For the one more cast-off shell.

沙丘

海浪碧绿而且潮湿，

但在海浪死亡的地方，

掀起了更大的巨浪

干燥的浪颜色棕黄。

他们是大海变成了

陆地，前来找到渔村，

要用固体沙粒埋葬

她未能淹死的人们。

她可能很熟悉海湾，

但对人类不甚了了，

若是能够改变形状

她希望能切除大脑。

人们让她沉没过船，

也能任她摆布房舍；

越能够抛弃掉外壳

思想只会更加自由。
