雙語詩歌翻譯|陶淵明-《止酒》

《止酒》是晉代詩人陶淵明創(chuàng)作的作品。此詩為淵明閑居時所作。止酒，停止飲酒，即戒酒。詩人可以辭官，可以守窮，但不可一日無酒，飲酒是他一生中最大的嗜好。所以對于淵明來說，停止飲酒將是十分痛苦的事情。但詩人卻以幽默詼諧的語言，說明自己對于酒的依戀和將要戒酒的打算。詩中每句用一“止”字，讀來風(fēng)趣盎然，具有民歌的情。

陶淵明 《止酒》

居止次城邑，
逍遙自閑止。
坐止高蔭下，
步止蓽門里。
好味止園葵，
大歡止稚子。
平生不止酒，
止酒情無喜。
暮止不安寢，
晨止不能起。
日日欲止之，
營衛(wèi)止不理。
徒知止不樂，
未知止利己。
始覺止為善，
今朝真止矣。
從此一止去，
將止扶桑涘。
清顏止宿容，
奚止千萬祀。

Abstaining from wine

With my humble cottage near the town,
I live at leisure and without a frown.
Ii take a seat below the mighty trees
Or take a walk within the gate at ease.
The best cuisine comes from the garden greens;
My kids provide the most amusing scenes.
All my life I never give up wine
Because no drinking is a dismal sign.
I'll hate to go to bed when it is night
And hate to rise from bed when day is bright.
Day by day I try to give up wine,
But I'm afraid my health will thus decline.
I only think that wine makes me feel good,
But never think that wine does me no good.
Now that I know what is the correct way,
I'll give up wine indeed right from today.
I shall abstain from wine as my demand
Until I reach the real immortal land.
If I look younger than it now appears,
I'll keep from drinking for a thousand years.
