The Solitary Reaper
孤独的收割女子
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
看哪,苏格兰高地的小姑娘,
孤独一人就在那边的田野上。
一边收割一边正在单独歌唱,
请停下来或轻轻过去也无妨!ﻫAlone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
她单独将谷物割下并且捆上,
她的歌声中充满了悲哀忧伤。
请倾听!这深深的山谷溪水,
随着歌声正在不断溢出河床。
No Nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travellers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands:
确实还未有夜莺将赞歌高唱,
且唱出更受欢送的委婉音符,
在阿拉伯沙漠中的绿荫下面,
对着一队队疲惫的旅客歌唱。
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird,
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
在明媚的春光里从未听到过,
来自杜鹃的摄人心魄的鸣唱,
在最遥远的赫布利底群岛上,
鸟鸣打破了大海的寂静空旷。
Will no one tell me what she sings?
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
谁能告诉我她唱的是什么歌?
或许那些流动的音符很哀伤,
正在倾诉不快乐的陈年往事,
或诉说很久以前曾经的打仗。
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?
也许她唱的歌更加谦卑微末,
只是在陈述今日熟悉的事情?
是人性的丧失、痛苦和悲伤,
曾经经历过,可能还会遇上?
Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o'er the sickle bending; ――
姑娘唱了什么,我无法猜详,
她的歌如行云流水源源流长。
我看到她一边干活一边歌唱,
挥动的镰刀上是弯腰的模样。
I listen'd, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
我一动不动地倾听她在歌唱,
然后,当我登上了那座山岗,
我虽再也听不到她所唱的歌,
它却仍在我的心头缭绕回响。
