无心剑英译戴望舒 《我用残损的手掌》

无心剑

我用残损的手掌

I Use My Mutilated Palms

戴望舒

By Dai Wangshu

我用残损的手掌

摸索这广大的土地：

这一角已变成灰烬，

那一角只是血和泥；

这一片湖该是我的家乡，

(春天，堤上繁花如锦幛，

嫩柳枝折断有奇异的芬芳，)

我触到荇藻和水的微凉；

这长白山的雪峰冷到彻骨，

这黄河的水夹泥沙在指间滑出；

江南的水田，你当年新生的禾草

是那么细，那么软……现在只有蓬蒿；

岭南的荔枝花寂寞地憔悴，

尽那边，我蘸着南海没有渔船的苦水……

I use my mutilated palms

to grope for this vast land

this corner has become ashes

that corner is just blood and mud

this lake should be my hometown

(in spring, flowers bloom like colorful silks on the banks

the tender willow twigs emit strange fragrance when broken)

I touch the slight coolness of the algae and water

the snowy peaks of the Changbai Mountains are bitterly cold

the water and silt of the Yellow River slip out of my fingers

in the paddy fields of the South of the Yangtze River

the rice-shoots then were so thin and so soft ... now nothing but basil

the litchi flowers in the South of the Five Ridges are lonely, pining away

over there, I dip in the bitter water of the South China Sea without fishing boats ...

无形的手掌掠过无限的江山，

手指沾了血和灰，手掌沾了阴暗，

只有那辽远的一角依然完整，

温暖，明朗，坚固而蓬勃生春。

在那上面，我用残损的手掌轻抚，

像恋人的柔发，婴孩手中乳。

我把全部的力量运在手掌

贴在上面，寄与爱和一切希望，

因为只有那里是太阳，是春，

将驱逐阴暗，带来苏生，

因为只有那里我们不像牲口一样活，

蝼蚁一样死……

那里，永恒的中国！

the invisible palms sweep over infinite rivers and mountains

the fingers are stained with blood and ashes

and the palms are stained with the darkness

yet only that distant corner is still keeping intact

warm, bright, strong with such a vigorous spring

oh, with my mutilated palm I gently caress it

like the lover's soft hair and the milk in the baby's hands

I gather all my strength in the palm of my hand

pressing close to it with all my love and hope

because only there we have the sun and spring

driving away the darkness and bringing renaissance

because only there we don't live like livestock

and die like mole crickets and ants

there, Eternal China!
