顺手搬来旧译。 大路贴的诗。
好象是法语翻英文，偶再翻中文。 二反。
Be Drunk
by Charles Baudelaire
Translated by Louis Simpson
沉醉吧
云天译
You have to be always drunk. 你必须一直沉醉.
That's all there is to it—it's the only way. 那是它的全部----唯一的方式.
So as not to feel the horrible burden of time 这样方能忽视光阴的可怕负担,
that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, 它折断你的背,把你压弯在地
you have to be continually drunk. 你必须一直沉醉.
But on what? 但凭借什么呢?
Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. 醇酒,诗歌,美德, 随你所愿.
But be drunk. 但沉醉吧.
And if sometimes, 倘若有时
on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, 在宫廷的台阶上, 在垄沟的绿草上
in the mournful solitude of your room, 在笼罩悲凄孤寂的陋室里
you wake again, 你再次醒来
drunkenness already diminishing or gone, 醉意销褪，无影无踪
ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, 那么去问风儿, 问波浪, 问星星, 问小鸟, 问时钟
everything that is flying, 问空中翱翔的万物
everything that is groaning, 问地上呻吟的生灵
everything that is rolling, 问每样滚动的物体
everything that is singing, 问每个歌唱的生命
everything that is speaking. . 问每个说话的灵魂
ask what time it is 且问今夕何夕
and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: 风儿,波浪,星星,小鸟,时钟都会回答你:
"It is time to be drunk! “沉醉的时刻到了!
So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, 不要做光阴的奴隶，任它折磨,
be drunk, be continually drunk! 醉吧, 一直醉下去!
On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish." 随你所愿, 为醇酒, 为诗歌, 为美德而沉醉吧. “ |
