试译公爵兄英文诗:《如影飘飞》(by 曹雪葵)
无名花遍谷,传香入春风。
枝头晒新羽,自在竞娇鸣。
踏叶惊林响,凝眸杀气雄。
群狼翻锐齿,乱木掩危踪。
蓦见奔狡兔。遥失没绿丛。
奋起中山兽,急逐月窟精。
半世几回首,依稀类此情。
幸非脱兔弱,未惧饿豺凶。
抚膺曾自问,若何天地中?
似鹤择枝唳?如梅近瀑峥?
我本无一物,风余半影轻。
英文原玉:I am floating like a Shadow (by duke)
Unnamed flowers were everywhere in the valley
Sending their fragrance was the spring breeze
Birds were enjoying the sunshine on the branches
They sang gracefully
A pack of wolves were wandering in the woods
Treading on the fallen leaves making crisp noises
Wood-colored hair, yellow eyes and sharp mouth,
With their eyelight fierce...
Suddenly, a hare jumped up violently
Fleeting away to the faraway...
The wolves flew up and chased
In the direction of the hare escapes...
They are many times, I feel that life seems to me
That likes the scene mostly
The only differences are that
I'm not the rabbit that escapes
Nor the hungry jackals that they chase
What am I then?
The flowers in the imagined spring?
Or the birds were singing?
Nay, I'm the time tide silhouetting in a valley
...
