Solitude《独处》
作者:Henry David Thoreau 亨利·戴维·梭罗
选自亨利·戴维·梭罗《Solitude》《独处》,
出自《瓦尔登湖》,1854年8月9日出版。
英文原文
This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense,
and imbibes delight through every pore.
I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature,
a part of herself.
As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves,
though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy,
and I see nothing special to attract me,
all the elements are unusually congenial to me.
The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night,
and the note of the whippoorwill
is borne on the rippling wind from over the water.
Sympathy with the fluttering alder
and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath;
yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled.
These small waves raised by the evening wind
are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface.
Though it is now dark, the wind still blows and roars in the wood,
the waves still dash, and some creatures lull the rest with their notes.
The repose is never complete.
The wildest animals do not repose,
but seek their prey now;
the fox, and skunk, and rabbit,
now roam the fields and woods without fear.
They are Nature’s watchmen,
— links which connect the days of animated life.
译文
这是一个沁人心脾的夜晚,整个身体化作一种感官,
每一处毛孔都汲取着欢愉。
我在自然之中来去自如,带着一种奇妙的自由,
成为自然本身的一部分。
我挽着衣袖,沿着池塘石岸漫步。
天气微凉,多云且有风,
眼前并无格外吸引人的景致,
可天地万物,都与我格外相契。
牛蛙高声鸣叫,迎接夜幕降临。
晚风拂过水面,送来夜鹰的啼鸣。
摇曳的桤木与杨树叶牵动心绪,几乎让我屏息。
然而,如同这片湖水,
我的内心泛起涟漪,却不会掀起惊涛。
晚风掀起的细碎波纹,
距离狂风暴雨尚远,水面依旧可以映照万物。
天色虽已昏暗,林间风声依旧呼啸不止。
浪涛不停拍打岸边,生灵以鸣唱安抚世间万物。
安宁从来不是绝对静止。
野性的动物并未安眠,此刻仍在寻觅猎物。
狐狸、臭鼬、野兔,毫无忌惮地穿行于原野与林地。
它们是大自然的守夜人,串联起鲜活生命的日夜。
