夏花秋叶之思
这本书小学就想读了,拖了八年之久,内容没什么可挑剔的,这版是中英对照,之前看《吉檀迦利》的时候就发觉中英对照看起来比较好,顺便还能复习和学点英语——自从我考完四级以来英语阅读量少得可怜。泰戈尔的多种文化中的先行性并行不悖是最让我喜爱的,诗歌是一种与哲学并行的叙事方式——柏拉图如是说。全篇325首,1小时的阅读量。 2.vagrants,源自古法语的流浪之意,指流浪者(应该是那种背井离乡的)。 6.If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars.经典名句。 10.Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent stars.意境太漂亮了。 14.Delusion,迷惑。 17.There little thoughts are the rustle of leaves;they have their whisper of joy in my mind. 18.What you are you do not see what you see is youe shadow.印度哲学的经典思维。 35.The bird wishes it were a cloud.The cloud wishes it were a bird.中国古典哲学。 43.The fish in the water is silent,the animal on the earth is noisy,the bird in the air is singing.But man has in him the silenceof the sea,the noise of the earth and the music of the air. 46.God finds himself by creating. 49.I thank thee that I am none of the wheels of power but I am one with the living creatures that are crushed by it.伟大的情操! 57.We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.圣经思想。 61.Take my wine in my own cup,friend.It loses its wreath of foam when poured into that of others. 64.Thank the flme for its light,but do not forget the lampholder standing in the shade with constancy of patience.这句我翻译为:为众人抱薪者,不可使其冻毙于风雪。 71.The woodcutter's axe begged for its handle from the tree the tree gave it. 73.Chastity is a wealth that comes from abundance of love.忠源于爱。举双手赞成。 75.We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us. 网红句,我高考模拟时还用过,时代的眼泪。 82.Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves. 生如夏花之绚烂,死如秋叶之静美,整个飞鸟集里最有名的一句,翻译得特别棒。 92.The birth and death of the leaves are the rapid whirls of the eddy whose wider circles move slowly among stars. 102.The echo mocks her origin to prove she is the original. 115.The power that boasts of its mischiefs is laughed at by the yellow leaves that fall,and clouds.that pass by. 121.I carry in my world that flourishes the worlds that have failed.我愿将其译为:彼世花开此世来。 125.The great is a born child;when he died he gives his great childhood to the world. 这句也是老网红了,不过我不觉得它哪儿出色,口味不同。 128.To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the truth.简直是真理。 142.Let me think there is one among those stars that guides my life through the dark unknown. 154.By plucking her petals you do not gather the beauty of the flower.(plucking是古拉丁语“拉出”中来的) 163.The leaned say that you lights with one day be no more,said the firefly to the stars.the stars made no answer.井蛙不可语海,夏虫不可语冰。 167.The world has kissed my soul with its pain,asking for its return in songs.这段一直有两种解,一种是对世界的抱怨,一种是对自我前视的督促,我偏向第二种,把这句译成“吻我魂以痛,化我痛为歌”。当然是随便想的,我没有翻译家那种水准。 169.thought feeds itself with its own words and grows.(先验唯心论?) 176.…The small truth has words tohat are clear.the great truth has great silence. 193.A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.不认同。 207.Praise shames me,for I secretly beg for it.直击灵魂。 217.the service of the fruit is precious,the service of the flower is sweet,but let my service be the service of the leaves in its shade of humble.devotion. 219.Men are cruel but man is kind.要我说全飞鸟集最出彩的就是这句,诗的艺术与政治哲学,人性的高度统一。 248.man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.没看懂。 270.Through the sadness of all things I hear the crooning of the Eternal Mother. 277.One word keep for me in the silence,O World,When I am dead,I have loved. 278.We live in this world when we love it. 323.There are tracts in my life that are bare and silent.There are the open spaces where my busy days had their light and air. 325.Let this be my last word,that I trust thy love. 后记 这本《飞鸟集》和《吉檀迦利》一样简短而深刻,用我妈的话说就是短小精悍,罗宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔确实不愧为大诗人,从他的诗中感受到一种完全不同的理解世界的方式,它是,如马丁·海德格尔所说,一种非理性的东西(与无理性区别),可以帮助我们理解“无”的东西,避免陷入虚无主义。两本泰戈尔的经典我都很满意。
