戴望舒·《单恋者》英译

我觉得我是在单恋着，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

但是我不知道是恋着谁：

是一个在迷茫的烟水中的国土吗，

是一枝在静默中零落的花吗，

是一位我记不起的陌路丽人吗？

我不知道。

我知道的是我的胸膨胀着，

而我的心悸动着，像在初恋中。

 

在烦倦的时候，

我常是暗黑的街头的踯躅者，

我走遍了嚣嚷的酒场，

我不想回去，好像在寻找什么。

飘来一丝媚眼或是塞满一耳腻语，

那是常有的事。

但是我会低声说：

“不是你！”然后踉跄地又走向他处。

 

人们称我为“夜行人”，

尽便吧，这在我是一样的；

真的，我是一个寂寞的夜行人，

而且又是一个可怜的单恋者。

 

 

The Unrequited Lover

T’ai Wang-Shu

 

I fancy that I’m an unrequited lover

But I know not whom I love.

Maybe a land in faint haze by the sea,

Maybe a flower withering in silence,

Maybe some beauty met on a road and then forgotten:

I cannot tell.

As if I were in love

My bosom swells, my heart throbs ever faster.

 

Tired, I would wander through dark streets,

Wander through all riotous places

And think not to return, as if in search of something,

A floating pin-point of bewitching eye,

Sweet words that touch the ear—

Such incidents are common;

But I would say in a low voice: “Not you!”

And stagger on elsewhere.

 

“Night-walker” people call me.

Let them!—it’s all the same to me.

In sooth I am a lonely night-walker,

A lover unrequited.
