英文原文
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed
The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow
Her clarion o’er the dreaming earth, and fill
(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)
With living hues and odours plain and hill:
Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;
Destroyer and Preserver; hear, O hear!
Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky’s commotion,
Loose clouds like earth’s decaying leaves are shed,
Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,
Angels of rain and lightning: there are spread
On the blue surface of thine aëry surge,
Like the bright hair uplifted from the head
Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge
Of the horizon to the zenith’s height,
The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge
Of the dying year, to which this closing night
Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,
Vaulted with all thy congregated might
Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere
Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: O hear!
Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams
The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,
Lulled by the coil of his crystalline streams,
Beside a pumice isle in Baiae’s bay,
And saw in sleep old palaces and towers
Quivering within the wave’s intenser day,
All overgrown with azure moss and flowers
So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou
For whose path the Atlantic’s level powers
Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below
The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear
The sapless foliage of the ocean, know
Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear,
And tremble and despoil themselves: O hear!
If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;
If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;
A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share
The impulse of thy strength, only less free
Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even
I were as in my boyhood, and could be
The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,
As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed
Scarce seemed a vision; I would ne’er have striven
As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.
Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!
I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!
A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed
One too like thee – tameless, and swift, and proud.
Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:
What if my leaves are falling like its own!
The tumult of thy mighty harmonies
Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,
Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!
Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!
And, by the incantation of this verse,
Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawakened earth
The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
译文
哦,粗犷的西风,你是秋之生命的气息,
你无形的到来,把枯叶纷纷驱走,
像巫师面前奔逃的幽灵。
枯黄、黑灰、苍白、病弱的红,
成群成片,仿佛遭瘟疫侵袭。哦,你,
把带翼的种子送往它们幽暗的冬床。
它们冰冷地伏在低处,
每一粒都像墓穴中的死尸静静安躺,
直到你那碧空的姊妹——春天,
在沉睡的大地上吹起她的号角,
催放娇嫩的蓓蕾,如羊群在风中觅食,
让鲜活的色彩与芬芳铺满原野山岗。
狂野的精灵,你无处不在;
毁灭者与守护者;哦,请听!
在高空翻腾的气流之中,
流云如同大地凋零的落叶四散飘零,
自天海交错纠缠的枝桠摇落。
它们是暴雨与闪电的信使;在你浩荡气流蔚蓝的浪尖铺展,
如同狂女扬起的明亮发丝,
从昏暗的地平线一直延展到苍穹之巅,
那是风暴将至的缕缕云鬓。你是残年的挽歌,
这沉沉的夜幕将化作巨大墓穴的穹顶,
汇聚你所有云雾的磅礴力量,
凝聚成厚重天幕,顷刻迸发黑雨、烈火与冰雹:哦,请听!
你曾将蔚蓝的地中海从夏日幻梦中唤醒,
它静静躺卧,被澄澈溪流回旋的波纹安抚,
就在巴亚海湾的浮石小岛旁。
大海在睡梦中看见古老宫殿与塔楼,
在波光浓烈的日光里轻轻震颤,
四处长满青蓝色苔藓与馥郁繁花,
花香浓烈到让人遐想之时心神沉醉!
为给你开辟前路,大西洋平坦的波涛
劈裂自身,形成深邃沟壑。
在遥远海底,海中花草与淤泥丛林,
披着海洋枯槁枝叶,听见你的声响,
瞬间因恐惧而黯然失色,颤抖着凋零:哦,请听!
倘若我是一片枯叶,任你托举飞扬;
倘若我是一朵流云,伴你天际远航;
是一道波涛,在你的威力下喘息,
分享你力量的脉动,只比你少一份自由,
哦,难以驯服的西风!倘若我还处在少年时光,
能够伴你漫游九天之上,
那时赶超你凌空的速度,仿佛并非幻想;
我便不会这般在困苦之中苦苦向你祈求。
啊,把我举起吧,像一道浪、一片叶、一朵云!
我跌落在生命的荆棘之上!鲜血淋漓!
岁月沉重的枷锁束缚了我的身躯,
我本也如你一般,不羁、迅疾、骄傲。
请把我当作你的竖琴,如同整片森林一般:
纵使我的叶片如同林木一般凋零又何妨!
你雄浑壮阔旋律的激荡,
会从森林与我的身上,共同奏响深沉的秋声,
悲戚之中,依旧饱含柔美。狂暴的精灵,
化作我的灵魂!让我成为你,热烈奔放的力量!
把我死寂的思绪席卷寰宇,
如同枯萎落叶,催发全新的生命!
借着这诗篇的咒语,
如同从尚未熄灭的炉膛扬起灰烬与星火,
将我的言语散播在人间!
借我的嘴唇,向尚未觉醒的大地,
吹响预言的号角!哦,西风,
倘若冬天已经到来,春天还会远吗?

💡主旨品读

雪莱立足1819年欧洲革命受挫的时代背景,
目睹理想受挫、社会陷入黑暗,写下这首诗。
他核心倡导:
毁灭从来不是终点,衰败之中永远孕育新生,
黑暗之后必有曙光,思想的力量可以跨越寒冬唤醒世人。
适合逆境坚守、理想不灭、苦难孕育新生、
思想力量、永不放弃等深度写作主题。
全诗气势雄浑,意象宏大,情感层层推进,
是极具赏析价值与仿写价值的经典英文诗歌选段。
