清新隽永,意味深长。这是读泰戈尔的诗给我最大的感受。由冰心翻译的《园丁集》和《吉檀迦利》和由郑正铎翻译的《飞鸟集》和《新月集》将泰翁的诗意和中华语言文字之美完美呈现。
1. If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
如果你因失去了太阳而流泪,那么你也将失去群星了。
2. You smiled and talked to me of nothing and Ifelt that for this I had been waiting long.
你微微地笑着,不同我说什么话。而我觉得,为了这个,我已等待很久了。
3. Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and deathlike autumn leaves.
使生如夏花之绚烂,死如秋叶之静美。
4. The cloud stood humbly in a corner of the sky. Themorning crowned it with splendour.
白云谦逊地站在天之一隅。
晨光给它戴上霞彩。
5. Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walkon, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.
只管走过去,不必逗留着采了花朵来保存,因为一路上花朵自会继续开放的。
6. The world has kissed my soul with itspain, asking for its return in songs.
世界以痛吻我,要我报之以歌。
7. The day is near when thy burden willbecome thy gift, and thy sufferings will light up thy path.
终有一天,你的负担将变成礼物,你受的苦将照亮你的路。
8. Eyes are raining for her,heart is holdingumbrella for her,this is love。
眼睛为她下着雨,心却为她打着伞,这就是爱情。
9. Friendship and love is the difference between the two men andfriendship means a world, but love means two people is the world. In one plusone equals two friendship; In one plus one or a love.
友谊和爱情之间的区别在于:友谊意味着两个人和世界,然而爱情意味着两个人就是世界。在友谊中一加一等于二;在爱情中一加一还是一。
10. We love the world, to live in thisworld.
我们热爱这个世界时,才真正活在这个世界上。
下面是一首大家都耳熟能详的爱情诗,试试用英文读是什么感受。
The Furthest Distance in the World
The furthest distance in the world
Is not between life and death
But when I stand in front of you
Yet you don't know that I love you
世界上最远的距离 不是 生与死的距离
而是 我站在你面前 你不知道我爱你
The furthest distance in the world
Is not when I stand in font of you
Yet you can't see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
Yet cannot be togehter
世界上最遥远的距离 不是 我站在你面前 你却看不到我对你的爱 而是 感受到对方坚定的爱意 却不能在一起
The furthest distance in the world
Is not being apart while being in love
But when plainly cannot resist the yearning
Yet pretending
You have never been in my heart
世界上最遥远的距离 不是 相爱的人不能在一起 而是 明明不能停止思念 却装作对方从未走进自己心间
The furthest distance in the world
Is not
But using one's indifferent heart
To dig an uncrossable river
For the one who loves you
世界上最遥远的距离 是用冷漠的心 为爱你的人
挖掘一条无法穿越的鸿沟
手捧泰戈尔的诗集,一个人,一杯茶,一个温暖的午后。
