英漢對(duì)照|王爾德詩(shī)選：費(fèi)德拉

Phèdre

How vain and dull this common world must seem

To such a One as thou, who should'st have talked

At Florence with Mirandola, or walked

Through the cool olives of the Academe:

Thou should'st have gathered reeds from a green stream

For Goat-foot Pan's shrill piping, and have played

With the white girls in that Phæacian glade

Where grave Odysseus wakened from his dream.



Ah! surely once some urn of Attic clay

Held thy wan dust, and thou hast come again

Back to this common world so dull and vain,

For thou wert weary of the sunless day,

The heavy fields of scentless asphodel,

The loveless lips with which men kiss in Hell.

費(fèi)德拉

對(duì)你這樣的人而言，這凡俗的世界

多么無(wú)聊，多么沉悶，你應(yīng)該

在佛羅倫薩與米蘭多拉對(duì)話，或者

在學(xué)院散步，徜徉在清爽的橄欖樹(shù)下，

你應(yīng)該在碧綠的小溪旁采摘蘆管，

讓羊足潘神吹出笛音，與白膚少女

在費(fèi)阿克斯林中空地相互嬉戲，

那里墓中的奧德修斯從長(zhǎng)夢(mèng)中醒來(lái)。



?。⊙诺涞奶罩乒女Y必定盛放過(guò)

你森白的骨灰，你將又一次降臨

這個(gè)無(wú)聊、沉悶的凡俗世界，

你已經(jīng)厭倦了這個(gè)隱晦的日子，

厭倦了種滿無(wú)味水仙的沉重田野，

還有那地獄里接吻的無(wú)愛(ài)嘴唇。
