英诗汉译 On His Deceased Wife/John Milton

On His Deceased Wife/John Milton   METHOUGHT I saw my late espousèd Saint       Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave,     Whom Joves great Son to her glad Husband gave,     Rescu'd from death by force though pale and faint.    Mine as whom washt from spot of child-bed taint,  Purification in the old Law did save,     And such, as yet once more I trust to have     Full sight of her in Heaven without restraint,    Came vested all in white, pure as her mind:     Her face was vail'd, yet to my fancied sight,     Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shin'd    So clear, as in no face with more delight.     But O as to embrace me she enclin'd     I wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night.

哀亡妻   我仿佛看见 我心中的圣人-我那逝去的妻， 被从坟墓里带到我的面前, 就像气若游丝， 面色苍白的阿尔塞斯蒂斯, 被宙斯的英雄的儿子从死神手中奋力救起 送到她兴奋不已的丈夫怀里。 而我的妻， 清除了产子带来的污秽， 按照旧约已重新获得洁净， 据此， 我一直坚信 有一天在天国里我会清晰无碍地看到她， 如今， 她来了， 身披素装， 洁如其心：却蒙着面纱， 然而呈入我充满热望眼帘的， 乃是她的爱， 她的甜蜜， 她的善良， 在她身上熠熠生光， 还有她那不曾在任何人脸上浮现过的欢畅。 但当她正要俯身拥抱我， 我骤然惊醒， 她随之殒散， 白天的光明将我带回到黑暗。

马老师好译！这首让人想起苏轼的《江城子》

十年生死两茫茫，不思量，自难忘。千里孤坟，无处话凄凉。纵使相逢应不识，尘满面，鬓如霜。

夜来幽梦忽还乡，小轩窗，正梳妆。相顾无言，惟有泪千行。料得年年肠断处，明月夜，短松冈。

等过了节，想看大家对这首的英译。
