雙語詩歌翻譯|《詩經(jīng)·衛(wèi)風(fēng)·何廣》

詩中所詠的是旅居衛(wèi)國的宋人，因受某種阻撓，思歸不能，面對河水，反復(fù)唱嘆。水在該詩當(dāng)中是一種阻隔的意象，主人公躑躅河邊，故國近在對岸，但卻不能渡過河去，內(nèi)心焦急，長期積壓胸頭的憂思如同排空而來的浪涌，詩句奪口而出，向上天發(fā)問以宣泄心中的不平。河面并不寬廣，一根蘆葦就可以渡到對岸，故國并不遙遠，踮起腳就可以望得到，夸張的修辭手法更加突出了客子思歸而不得的焦急心情。

《詩經(jīng)·衛(wèi)風(fēng)·何廣》

誰謂何廣？一葦杭之。
誰謂宋遠？跂予望之。

誰謂河廣？曾不容刀。
誰謂宋遠？曾不崇朝。

Ho Kwang

Who says that the Ho is wide?
With (a bundle of) reeds I can cross it.
Who says that Sung is distant?
On tiptoe I can see it.
Who says that the Ho is wide?
It will not admit a little boat.
Who says that Sung is distant?
It would not take a whole morning to reach it.
