雙語詩歌翻譯|杜甫-《前出塞·其一》

《前出塞九首》是唐代大詩人杜甫的組詩作品。這九首詩通過一個(gè)征夫的訴說反映其從軍西北邊疆的艱難歷程和復(fù)雜感情。第一首，征夫訴說初出門辭別父母的情事；第二首，接前訴說上路之后的情事，亡命亡不了，吞聲也沒用，不如索性把命豁出去練上一手；第三首，征夫訴說一路之上心情的煩亂，時(shí)而低沉，時(shí)而高亢；第四首，征夫訴說在路上被徒長欺壓和驅(qū)逼的情事；第五首，征夫訴說初到軍中時(shí)所見到另一面的黑暗，當(dāng)初滿想舍命立功畫像麟閣，這時(shí)看來也不容易；第六首，征夫訴說他對戰(zhàn)略的看法；第七首，征夫訴說他在大寒天的高山上筑城戍守的情事；第八首，征夫訴說他初次立功的過程和對立功的態(tài)度；第九首，征夫總結(jié)了他“從軍十年馀”的經(jīng)歷。組詩尖銳地諷刺了統(tǒng)治者窮兵黷武的不義戰(zhàn)爭，真實(shí)地反映了戰(zhàn)爭給兵士和百姓帶來的苦難。

《前出塞·其一》 杜甫

戚戚去故里，悠悠赴交河。
公家有程期，亡命嬰禍羅。
君已富土境，開邊一何多。
棄絕父母恩，吞聲行負(fù)戈。

On the Border
(first series, nine poems)
Du Fu

With heavy hearts we leave the old village,
set out on the long, long road to Jiaohe.1
Officials have fixed the date for our arrival—
run away and you’re snared in the net of the law!
Ruler, already with such abundance of territory,
why all this opening up of borders?
We turn our backs on love of father and mother,
swallow our sobs, shoulder halberds, and move on.
