寫在前面

There’s a metaphor we often use when talking about memorization. We say, to know something by heart. It means that you know something so well that you bring it into the centre of yourself. The best way of reciting a poem is to know it by heart. And here is a poem I』ve known for years. It’s called The Daffodils by William Wordsworth.

中英賞析

The Daffodils

William Wordsworth, 1770 - 1850

 

I wandered lonely as a cloud
   That floats on high o』er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
   A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
   And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
   Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
   Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A Poet could not but be gay,
   In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
   In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
   Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

水仙

   晚楓 譯

 

我似孤雲獨飄蕩，

悠悠高山峽谷上。

驀然美景入眼帘，

片片金色是水仙，

遍布湖畔樹蔭下，

風中搖曳舞翩躚。

 

漫漫璀璨如銀河，

熒熒繁星竟閃爍。

邊傍水灣尋堤岸，

無邊無際長延展；

千朵萬朵望不盡，

盈盈曼舞把頭點。

 

湖水蕩漾起漣漪，

怎比水仙更欣怡。

此情此景來相伴，

詩者何人不歡喜！

凝望良久疏思尋，

這般財富何以計；

 

每每榻上細思量，

凝眉默想或空茫，

水仙美景常浮現，

蔚藉孤寂是恩賞；

我心重又得愉悅，

與花共舞同歡暢。
