Walt Whitman - Adieu O Soldier 汉译

Adieu O soldier,

You of the rude campaigning, (which we shared,)

The rapid march, the life of the camp,

The hot contention of opposing fronts, the long manoeuvre,

Red battles with their slaughter, the stimulus, the strong terrific game,

Spell of all brave and manly hearts, the trains of time through you and like of you all fill’d,

With war and war’s expression.

Adieu dear comrade,

Your mission is fulfill’d--but I, more warlike,

Myself and this contentious soul of mine,

Still on our own campaigning bound,

Through untried roads with ambushes opponents lined,

Through many a sharp defeat and many a crisis, often baffled,

Here marching, ever marching on, a war fight out--aye here,

To fiercer, weightier battles give expression.

向一个士兵告别

再见，啊，士兵，

你这个参加过艰苦战斗的人，（我们分担过同一经历，）

那快速的行军，硬盘里的生活，

双方的激烈对阵，长时间的调动，

血红的战斗和它们带来的屠杀，那刺激，那强烈巨大的赌博，

人心都勇敢而气派的那段时间，长时间以来在你身上和像你这样人的身上都灌得慢慢的，

是战争和战争的表现形式。

再见，亲爱的伙伴，

你的使命已完成——但是我，比你更加勇武，

我自己和我这好斗的灵魂，

还要前去进行自己的战斗，

要经过从未走过的道路，沿途都是敌人设下的埋伏，

要经过多次严重的失败和危机，经常受到挫折，

在这里行军，永远继续行军，打一场战争——就在这里，

出现了更加剧烈、更加严重的战斗。
