雙語詩歌翻譯|詩經(jīng)·《國風(fēng)·魏風(fēng)·碩鼠》

《國風(fēng)·魏風(fēng)·碩鼠》是周代著名文學(xué)作品《詩經(jīng)》中的詩歌。《碩鼠》全詩三章，意思相同。三章都以“碩鼠碩鼠”開頭，直呼奴隸主剝削階級為貪婪可憎的大老鼠、肥老鼠，并以命令的語氣發(fā)出警告：“無食我黍（麥、苗）！”老鼠形象丑陋又狡黠，性喜竊食，借來比擬貪婪的剝削者十分恰當(dāng)，也表現(xiàn)詩人對其憤恨之情。

《詩經(jīng)--國風(fēng)·魏風(fēng)·碩鼠》

碩鼠碩鼠，無食我黍！
三歲貫女，莫我肯顧。
逝將去女，適彼樂土。
樂土樂土，爰得我所。

碩鼠碩鼠，無食我麥！
三歲貫女，莫我肯德。
逝將去女，適彼樂國。
樂國樂國，爰得我直。

碩鼠碩鼠，無食我苗！
三歲貫女，莫我肯勞。
逝將去女，適彼樂郊。
樂郊樂郊，誰之永號

Large Rat

Large rat, large rat,
Eat no more millet we grow!
Three years you have grown fat;
No care for us you show.
We'll leave you now, I swear,
For a happier land,
A happier land where
We may have a free hand.

Large rat, large rat,
Eat no more wheat we grow!
Three years you have grown fat;
No kindness for us you show.
We'll leave you now, I swear,
We'll leave the land of our birth
For a happy state where
We can get what we're worth.

Large rat, large rat,
Eat no more rice we grow!
Three years you have grown fat,
No rewards to our labor go.
We'll leave you now, I swear,
For a happier plain,
A happier plain where
None will groan or complain.
