《鲁拜集》新译其三十五至四十

紫云生

七绝《鲁拜集》新译其三十五至四十

其三十五

俯就陶樽近贴唇，人生奥秘细征询。

陶唇喋喋催吾饮，行乐佳时莫负春。

英文原诗XXXV

Then to the lip of this poor earthen Urn

I lean'd, the Secret of my Life to learn:

And Lip to Lip it murmur'd - "While you live

Drink! - for once dead you never shall return."

其三十六

细味金杯欲辨真，当期曾作醉乡人

千方吻尽沾濡处，授受何拘汝一唇。

英文原诗XXXVI

I think the Vessel, that with fugitive

Articulation answer'd, once did live,

And drink; and Ah! the passive Lip I kiss'd,

How many Kisses might it take - and give!

其三十七

驻步于途看造坯，陶工劳竭捣团泥。

泥团怪语嗡声诉，敬祷仁兄力降低。

英文原诗XXXVII

For I remember stopping by the way

To watch a Potter thumping his wet Clay:

And with its all-obliterated Tongue

It murmur'd - "Gently, Brother, gently,pray!"

其三十八

旷古流传幻或真？娲皇抟土塑苍民。

甄陶代代无穷已，泥淖成模造化钧。

英文原诗XXXVIII

And has not such a Story from of Old

Down Man's successive generations roll'd

Of such a clod of saturated Earth

Cast by the Maker into Human mould?

其三十九

擎杯酻地祭先君，涓滴泉台索薄醺。

千岁青眸聊释瘾，深藏痛悔卧茔坟。

英文原诗XXXVIII

And not a drop that from our Cups we throw

For Earth to drink of, but may steal below

To quench the fire of Anguish in some Eye

There hidden - far beneath, and long ago.

其四十

晨思承露郁金香，仰视长天啜玉浆。

汝效虔诚旋作舞，樽倾人倒醉尤狂。

英文原诗XL

As then the Tulip for her morning sup

Of Heav'nly Vintage from the soil looks up,

Do you devoutly do the like, till Heav'n

To Earth invert you - like an empty Cup.
