诗歌翻译:屈原《楚辞·离骚》英文译文(12)
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》
欲从灵氛之吉占兮,心犹豫而狐疑。巫咸将夕降兮,怀椒糈而要之。
百神翳其备降兮,九疑缤其并迎。皇剡剡其扬灵兮,告余以吉故。
曰:“勉升降以上下兮,求矩矱之所同。汤、禹俨而求合兮,挚、咎繇而能调。
苟中情其好修兮,又何必用夫行媒?说操筑於傅岩兮,武丁用而不疑。
吕望之鼓刀兮,遭周文而得举。宁戚之讴歌兮,齐桓闻以该辅。
及年岁之未晏兮,时亦犹其未央。恐鹈鴂之先鸣兮,使夫百草为之不芳。”

WAlthough the witches counsel I held good,
In foxlike indecision still I stood.
At night the wizard great made his descent,
And meeting him spiced rice I did present.
The angels came, shading with wings the sky;
From mountains wild the deities drew nigh.
With regal splendor shone the solemn sight,
And thus the wizard spake with omens bright:
"Take office high or low as days afford,
If one there be that could with thee accord;
Like ancient kings austere who sought their mate,
Finding the one who should fulfill their fate.
Now if thy heart doth cherish grace within,
What need is there to choose a go-between?
A convict toiled on rocks to expiate
His crime; his sovereign gave him great estate.
A butcher with his knife made roundelay;
His king chanced there and happy proved the day.
A prince who heard a cowherd chanting late
Raised him to be a councilor of state.
Before old age o' ertake thee on thy way,
Life still is young; to profit turn thy day.
Spring is but brief, when cuckoos start to sing,
And flowers will fade that once did spread and spring."
