翻譯： The Lake Isle of Innisfree 依你無憂湖島

翻譯：The Lake Isle of Innisfree依你無憂湖島

by William Butler Yeats

翻譯：沅湘


I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

我這就起身，到依你無憂去，

在那裏，用泥巴和荊條搭個小屋：

種九畦豆子，為蜜蜂做窩，

獨自在蜜蜂響亮的林中空地居住。

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

那裏我會有些安寧，安寧緩緩的滴，

從清晨的薄紗滴到蟋蟀唱歌地；

午夜夜光粼粼，中午日頭生紫暉，

傍晚紅雀處處飛。

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

我這就起身去，因為夜晚和白天

我都聽到湖水低聲拍打岸邊；

不管是在馬路還是鋪著灰石的小路上

我都聽到它拍打我深深的心田。
