1、海滨墓园中英译本及详细注解|榕树下原创_ 华语文学门户译者序海滨墓园是法国大诗人瓦雷里的代表作，大概由于技巧高超内涵丰富，很多中译本甚至英译本都不够简明流畅。其实海滨墓园具备马拉美诗歌的纯净却不含艾略特诗歌的生硬（我一直认为艾略特是个大忽悠，净整一些急转弯）。于是我先把法文原版翻译成英文，又一鼓作气翻译成汉语，还做了详细的注解。对于英语高手，看我的英译可能比看中译更能领会原著，因为英语和法语，无论语法或词汇，都非常接近，并且我的英译基本上用了直译。尽管如此，我对原诗古典主义的严谨格律，也没敢强烈地追求，唯恐影响我再现高深的内容。原诗六行一节，共二十四节，为了便于注解，我编上了序号。最近我正用相
2、同的方法，从西班牙文原版翻译墨西哥诗人帕斯的代表作太阳石，已经完成了一百四十多行。我强烈反对不懂装懂卖弄辞藻的翻译，也蔑视不求甚解只留印象的阅读。在我看来，即使在现代派的诗歌中，每一个词都有存在的理由。海滨墓园 THE SEASIDE CEMETERY 1 这片恬静的屋顶有鸽子走动，This tranquil roof , where some doves walks,闪耀在近旁的松林坟墓之间，Flashes among the pines and tombs nearby,正午这公正者在这里用火焰 Midday the just composes here with fire 描绘大海，我总

28、死亡，而正午协调着生与死，在一定程度上代表着真理。所谓公正者，是说太阳既不偏东也不偏西。2 细碎的闪电指的是海面的粼粼波光。时间闪光指的是，生活有意义。另外本诗多次用到 pur这个词，这一节就用了两次。我都翻译成单纯的，言外之意是不带功利的目的，只想着创造和真理。3 这一段全是比喻大海。密涅瓦是古罗马智慧女神。4 时间的圣殿可能暗指历史。极端的轻蔑是对人世间沧桑变化的蔑视。5 这一段就是思考世界的沧桑变化。6 脆弱的举动是说影子没有任何力量，也没有固定的外形。7 至点，在本诗中，应该是夏至点，北半球光照最强烈的时候。8 单纯的事件指的是包括作诗在内的精神方面的创作活动。9 第一行是说海湾被很多
29、树木围绕，好像被困在了枝叶间。第二行是说海湾的潮气总是腐蚀栅栏。懒惰的结局意思是，人死了只会躺着，不干活。10 第四行的黄金应该指海面上的阳光。11 亮丽的狗指的是大海。这一段很优美，让人想到雪莱的西风颂。作者太喜欢独处了，连天使都要驱逐，也暗示不想与宗教有瓜葛。12 爬虫指的是海浪。13 烤干他们的神秘意思是，让他们腐烂，越来越不像死尸，也就越来越没神秘感。14 第一句的意思是，只有我担心正午会褪变乃至消失。15 稠密的虚空指的是死者们已经消亡却仿佛仍然集中在墓地。16 这一段很*，让我这正人君子几乎都译不下去了，嘴唇发干两眼冒火浑身哆嗦 看来外国女人也是这德行！17 伟大的灵魂指的是正午。
30、18 这一段表明作者反对宗教麻醉人生，尤其对基督教的永生理论深恶痛绝。被镀成金色意味着虚荣和欺骗。空洞的脑壳既代表死亡，也暗示无知。19 这一段和下一段，表达了近乎绝望的人生感悟。20 隐秘的牙齿暗示着爱情的贪婪。21 这一段引用了古希腊哲学家芝诺的两个悖论阿基里追龟说和飞箭静止说，并做了形象的发挥，突出了人生的短暂沉重荒谬可笑以及思维的终极困境。确实，我们发现作者冥思苦想高谈阔论了大半天，最终也没得出什么积极的结论。22 作者忽然怒了，恰似乐曲在结尾前转调，并迅速推向高潮。23 段最后没有标点，直接进入24 段，就像 命运交响曲第三乐章不做停顿就进入第四乐章。所谓太阳的宠物是指色彩斑斓的生物
31、。多头蛇，或曰七头蛇，是古希腊神话中的蛇怪，它的七个头被斩掉后还能复生。本诗的最后三段颇具象征主义的技巧和浪漫主义的热情，激发了大海所象征的原始生命力，抛弃了书本和思索，最后反而得到了积极的结论 努力活下去！起风了，唯有努力生存作者：若雾非雾 来源：文章阅读网 时间：2014-04-19 13:16起风了，唯有努力生存起风了，路上行人甚少。独自一人走在路上，触尘埃迎面打来，耳边风噪声似乎愈演愈烈，望两旁树先生在狂摇曳，已阻止不了了。起风了，万物似乎醒了，比无风时更加清醒。风平浪静时，似乎没感觉危险将至。起风了，只有咬紧牙关，稳住脚步，握紧拳头，这样，风中的你才能依然展现完美姿态。否则，无风时一切完美尽显，尘埃落定，风平浪静，路两旁无风树静。有风时俱一败涂地，仅仅只有，尘起，风吼，树摇。所以，起风了，唯有努力生存，与寒风共舞，随风使然，才能永远尽显完美！
