Robert Burns(1759-1796)
ps:因為彭斯是蘇格蘭詩人，所以這首詩是用蘇格蘭口音寫的，如"luve"="love"
A Red,Red Rose
O my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O my luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
O I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.
譯文
我的愛是紅紅的玫瑰，
於六月初開。
我的愛是動聽的樂曲，
甜美如天籟。
你國色天香，姑娘，
我對你情深意長。
我會永遠愛你，親愛的，
直至海水都已枯乾。
直至海水都已枯乾，親愛的，
巖石也因日曬焦爛，
我會永遠愛你，親愛的，
只要生命的沙漏尚在運轉
再會了，我此生所愛！
片刻的分離將我們阻攔！
我會回來的，愛人，
縱使橫亙著萬水千山。
（盛嘉駿 譯）
譯文
吾愛吾愛玫瑰紅，
六月初開韻曉風。
吾愛吾愛如管弦，
其聲悠揚而玲瓏。
吾愛吾愛美而殊，
我心愛你永不渝，
我心愛你永不渝，
直到四海海水枯；
直到四海海水枯，
巖石融化變成泥，
只要我還有口氣，
我心愛你永不渝。
暫時告別我心肝，
請你不要把心耽！
縱使相隔十萬裡，
踏穿地皮也要還。
(郭沫若 譯)
附：羅伯特彭斯小傳
Born in Alloway, Scotland, on January 25, 1759, Robert Burns was the first of William and Agnes Burnes' seven children. His father, a tenant farmer, educated his children at home. Burns also attended one year of mathematics schooling and, between 1765 and 1768, he attended an "adventure" school established by his father and John Murdock. His father died in bankruptcy in 1784, and Burns and his brother Gilbert took over farm. This hard labor later contributed to the heart trouble that Burns' suffered as an adult.
羅伯特 · 伯恩斯於1759年1月25日出生於阿洛韋，是威廉和艾格尼絲 · 伯恩斯七個孩子中的第一個。 他的父親是個佃農，在家裡教育他的孩子。 伯恩斯還接受了一年的數學教育，在1765年至1768年間，他參加了一所由他父親和約翰 · 默多克創辦的「冒險」學校。 他的父親在1784年破產時去世，伯恩斯和他的兄弟吉爾伯特接管了農場。 後來，這種艱苦的勞動導致了博恩斯成年後患上的心臟病。
At the age of fifteen, he fell in love and shortly thereafter he wrote his first poem. As a young man, Burns pursued both love and poetry with uncommon zeal. In 1785, he fathered the first of his fourteen children. Between 1784 and 1785, Burns also wrote many of the poems collected in his first book, Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, which was printed in 1786 and paid for by subscriptions. This collection was an immediate success and Burns was celebrated throughout England and Scotland as a great "peasant-poet."
十五歲時，他墜入愛河，不久之後，他寫下了第一首詩。 作為一個年輕人，伯恩斯以不同尋常的熱情追求愛情和詩歌。 1785年，他生下了十四個孩子中的第一個。 在1784年至1785年間，伯恩斯還寫了許多詩歌，這些詩歌收集在他的第一本書《詩歌，主要是蘇格蘭方言》中，該書於1786年印刷，由訂閱者支付。 這本詩集一炮走紅，伯恩斯在英格蘭和蘇格蘭被譽為偉大的「農民詩人」
In 1788, he and his wife, Jean Armour, settled in Ellisland, where Burns was given a commission as an excise officer. He also began to assist James Johnson in collecting folk songs for an anthology entitled The Scots Musical Museum. Burns' spent the final twelve years of his life editing and imitating traditional folk songs for this volume and for Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs. These volumes were essential in preserving parts of Scotland's cultural heritage and include such well-known songs as "My Luve is Like a Red Red Rose" and "Auld Land Syne." Robert Burns died from heart disease at the age of thirty-seven. On the day of his death, Jean Armour gave birth to his last son, Maxwell.
1788年，他和他的妻子 Jean Armour 定居在 Ellisland，在那裡 Burns 被任命為一名消費稅官員。 他還開始協助詹姆斯 · 詹森為一本名為《蘇格蘭音樂博物館》的選集收集民歌。 在生命的最後十二年裡，伯恩斯一直在為這本書和《蘇格蘭原創歌曲精選》編輯和模仿傳統民歌。 這些卷是必不可少的保存部分蘇格蘭的文化遺產，其中包括著名的歌曲，如「我的愛人像一朵紅玫瑰」和「友誼地久天長」 羅伯特 · 伯恩斯死於心臟病，享年37歲。 在他去世的那一天，Jean Armour 生下了他的最後一個兒子 Maxwell。
Most of Burns' poems were written in Scots. They document and celebrate traditional Scottish culture, expressions of farm life, and class and religious distinctions. Burns wrote in a variety of forms: epistles to friends, ballads, and songs. His best-known poem is the mock-heroic Tam o' Shanter. He is also well known for the over three hundred songs he wrote which celebrate love, friendship, work, and drink with often hilarious and tender sympathy. Burns died on July 21, 1796, at the age of 37. Even today, he is often referred to as the National Bard of Scotland.
伯恩斯的大部分詩歌都是用蘇格蘭語寫的。 他們記錄和頌揚傳統的蘇格蘭文化，表達農場生活，階級和宗教差異。 伯恩斯以各種形式寫信: 給朋友的書信、歌謠和歌曲。 他最著名的詩歌是仿英雄主義的《塔姆阿山特》。 他也因為他寫的三百多首歌曲而聞名，這些歌曲讚美愛情、友誼、工作和飲酒，常常充滿歡樂和溫柔的同情。 博恩斯於1796年7月21日去世，享年37歲。 即使在今天，他也經常被稱為蘇格蘭的國家吟遊詩人。
