诗歌翻译:屈原《楚辞·离骚》英文译文(4)
小编导读:《离骚》是战国时期著名诗人屈原的代表作之一,是中国古代汉族诗歌史上一首最长的政治抒情诗。诗人从自叙身世、品德、理想写起,抒发了自己遭谗言被害的苦闷与矛盾心情,揭露了楚王昏庸、群小猖獗与朝政日非的政治现实,表现了诗人坚持“美政” 理想、不附和邪恶势力的自爱精神及对楚王朝至死不渝的忠诚。
屈原 《楚辞·离骚》
余既滋兰之九畹兮,又树蕙之百亩。畦留夷与揭车兮,杂杜衡与芳芷。
冀枝叶之峻茂兮,原俟时乎吾将刈。虽萎绝其亦何伤兮,哀众芳之芜秽。
众皆竞进以贪婪兮,凭不厌乎求索。羌内恕己以量人兮,各兴心而嫉妒。
忽驰骛以追逐兮,非余心之所急。老冉冉其将至兮,恐修名之不立。
朝饮木兰之坠露兮,夕餐秋菊之落英。苟余情其信姱以练要兮,长顑颔亦何伤。
揽木根以结芷兮,贯薜荔之落蕊。矫菌桂以纫蕙兮,索胡绳之纚纚。
謇吾法夫前修兮,非世俗之所服。虽不周于今之人兮,原依彭咸之遗则。

Nine fields of orchids at one time I grew,
For melilot a hundred acres too,
And fifty acres for the azalea bright,
The rumex fragrant and the lichen white.
I longed to see them yielding blossoms rare,
And thought in season due the spoil to share.
I did not grieve to see them die away,
But grieved because midst weeds they did decay.
Insatiable in lust and greediness,
The faction strove, and tired not of excess;
Themselves condoning, others they’d decry,
And steep their hearts in envious jealousy.
Insatiably they seized what they desired,
It was not that to which my heart aspired.
As old age unrelenting hurried near,
Lest my fair name should fail was all my fear.
Dew from magnolia leaves I drank at dawn,
At eve for food were aster petals borne;
And loving thus the simple and the fair,
How should I for my sallow features care?
With gathered vines I strung valeria white,
And mixed with blue wistaria petals bright,
And melilotus matched with cassia sweet,
With ivy green and tendrils long to meet.
Life I adapted to the ancient way,
Leaving the manners of the present day;
Thus unconforming to the modern age,
The path I followed of a bygone sage.
