The Good Morrow
早安
--by John Donne
--飛白 譯
I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I
Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then?
But sucked on country pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers』 den?
』Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be.
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee.
我真不明白；你我相愛之前
在幹什麼？莫非我們還沒斷奶，
只知吮吸田園之樂像孩子一般?
或是在七個睡眠者的洞中打鼾？
確實如此，但一切歡樂都是虛擬，
如果我見過．追求並獲得過美，
那全都是——且僅僅是——夢見的你。
And now good-morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear;
For love, all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,
Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.
現在向我們甦醒的靈魂道聲早安，
兩個靈魂互相信賴，毋須警戒；
因為愛控制了對其他景色的愛，
把小小的房間點化成大千世界。
讓航海發現家向新世界遠遊，
讓無數世界的輿圖把別人引誘
我們卻自成世界，又互相擁有。
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;
Where can we find two better hemispheres,
Without sharp north, without declining west?
Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.
我映在你眼裡，你映在我眼裡，
兩張臉上現出真誠坦蕩的心地。
哪兒能找到兩個更好的半球啊？
沒有嚴酷的北，沒有下沉的西？
凡是死亡，都屬調和失當所致，
如果我倆的愛合二為一，或是
愛得如此一致．那就誰也不會死。
