雙語詩歌·毒　樹

毒　樹

A Poison Tree

布萊克

William Blake

我對朋友發(fā)怒：

I was angry with my friend:

對他說了，怒氣就消除。

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

我對仇人發(fā)火，

I was angry with my foe:

不對他說，火氣就加多。

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

我日夜懷著恐懼

And I watered it in fears,

用眼淚澆那火氣；

Night and morning with my tears;

我又曬它，用微笑

And I sunnèd it with smiles,

和溫軟騙人的技巧。

And with soft deceitful wiles.

于是它日夜生長，

And it grew both day and night,

結(jié)出只蘋果發(fā)著光；

Till it bore an apple bright.

我仇人看見它閃熠，

And my foe beheld it shine,

他知道那果子是我的——

And he knew that it was mine,

等黑夜隱蔽了蒼天，

And into my garden stole

他偷進了我的果園：

When the night had veild the pole;

早晨，我高興地見到他

In the morning glad I see

僵挺在那棵樹底下。

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
