漢譯: A Complaint/抱怨

 

A Complaint

抱怨

 

By William Wordsworth

Translation: Lucidus of WXC

 

There is a change—and I am poor;

有一個變化，我成了窮人;

 

Your love hath been, nor long ago,

你的愛，不久前，

 

A fountain at my fond heart's door,

一直是我歡欣心門之邊噴泉

 

Whose only business was to flow;

其唯一的任務就是流淌;

 

And flow it did; not taking heed

隻管流淌, 不必留意

 

Of its own bounty, or my need.

對自己的獎賞，或者我的需要。

 

What happy moments did I count!

我記憶中多麽的快樂時光！

 

Blest was I then all bliss above!

我被恩賜所有的幸福！

 

Now, for that consecrated fount

現在，為那神聖的源泉

 

Of murmuring, sparkling, living love,

潺潺，波光粼粼，活生生的愛的源泉，

 

What have I? Shall I dare to tell?

我有還什麽？我敢說嗎？

 

A comfortless and hidden well.

一個患難之人，和一口隱藏的井。

 

A well of love—it may be deep—

一口愛之井，可能很深

 

I trust it is,—and never dry:

我相信會的，永不幹涸的：

 

What matter? if the waters sleep

所謂嗎？如果水會睡去，

 

In silence and obscurity.

在沉默和無聞中。

 

—Such change, and at the very door

這種變化，恰在此門

 

Of my fond heart, hath made me poor.

在我歡欣之心門，使我貧困。
