翻译：The Lake Isle of Innisfree依你无忧湖岛

by William Butler Yeats

翻译：沅湘


I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

我这就起身，到依你无忧去，

在那里，用泥巴和荆条搭个小屋：

种九畦豆子，为蜜蜂做窝，

独自在蜜蜂响亮的林中空地居住。

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

那里我会有些安宁，安宁缓缓的滴，

从清晨的薄纱滴到蟋蟀唱歌地；

午夜夜光粼粼，中午日头生紫晖，

傍晚红雀处处飞。

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

我这就起身去，因为夜晚和白天

我都听到湖水低声拍打岸边；

不管是在马路还是铺着灰石的小路上

我都听到它拍打我深深的心田。
