On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year

今天我完成了我的第36年

by Lord Byron

【译文】On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year_第1张图片

'Tis time this heart should beunmoved,

Since others it hasceased tomove:

Yet though I cannot bebeloved,

Still let me love!

是时候了,这颗心该当冷却,

既然它已不再感动人心,

可是,尽管我不能为人所爱,

我还要去爱别人!

My days are in the yellow leaf;

The flowers and fruits of love are gone;

The worm, thecanker, and the grief

Are mine alone!

我的时光飘落在泛黄的叶子里,

爱情的花和果都已消失,

只剩下溃疡、悔恨和悲伤,

还为我所保持!

The fire that on mybosompreys

Is lone as somevolcanicisle;

No torch iskindledat itsblaze—

A funeral pile!

那蓄积在我内心的火焰

像火山岛一样孤寂,

没有一支火把过来点燃——

呵,一个火葬礼!

The hope, the fear, the jealous care,

Theexaltedportion of the pain

And power of love I cannot share,

But wear the chain.

希望、恐惧、嫉妒的关怀,

爱情底部那崇高的一部分

痛苦和力量,我都无法分享,

除了他的锁链。

But 'tis not thus — and 'tis not here —

Such thoughts would shake my soul, nor now,

Where Glorydecksthe hero'sbier

Or binds his brow.

呵,但何必在此时,在此地,

让这种思绪挫折我的灵魂,

荣誉装饰着英雄的棺椁

或者鼓舞着他的心。

The sword, the banner and the field,

Glory and Greece, around me see!

The Spartan,borne uponhis shield,

Was not more free.

看,利剑、旌旗、还有战场,

荣誉同希腊一起环绕着我,

长眠于盾牌上的斯巴达战士,

何曾有过这样的自由。

Awake! (not Greece— she is awake!)

Awake, my Spirit! Think through whom

Thy life-blood tracks its parent lake,

And then strike home.

醒来!(不是希腊,她已经觉醒)

醒来,我的精神!想一想

你的心血所来源的湖泊,

还不朝着敌人攻击!

Tread those reviving passions down,

UnworthyManhood!— unto thee

Indifferent should the smile or frown

Of Beauty be.

践踏那复燃的欲望吧,

没出息的成年!对于你

美人的笑靥或者蹙眉

应该失去了吸引力。

If thou regret'st thy youth, why live?

The land of honourable death

Is here:— up to the field, and give

Away thy breath!

若是你对青春抱恨,何必活着?

这是你为之光荣而死的国土

就在这里——去到战场上,

把你的呼吸献出!

Seek out— less often sought than found—

A Soldier's Grave, for thee the best;

Then look around, and choose thy Ground,

And take thy Rest.

寻求一个战士的归宿吧,

这样的归宿对你最适宜,

看一看四周,这样一方土地,

然后静静的安息。
