英漢對照|王爾德詩選：幻　景

A Vision

Two crownèd Kings, and One that stood alone

With no green weight of laurels round his head,

But with sad eyes as one uncomforted,

And wearied with man's never-ceasing moan

For sins no bleating victim can atone,

And sweet long lips with tears and kisses fed.

Girt was he in a garment black and red,

And at his feet I marked a broken stone

Which sent up lilies, dove-like, to his knees.

Now at their sight, my heart being lit with flame,

I cried to Beatricé, 'Who are these?'

And she made answer, knowing well each name,

'Aeschylos first, the second Sophokles,

And last (wide stream of tears!) Euripides.'

幻　景

兩位加冕的國王，另有一位遺世而獨(dú)立，

他的頭頂并沒有綠色月桂樹的王冠，

卻有一雙難以慰藉的憂傷的眼睛，

流露因永不止息的呻吟而產(chǎn)生的倦態(tài)，

那罪愆并非哞哞叫的羊羔所能救贖，

眼淚和親吻滋養(yǎng)他甜蜜的寬嘴唇。

他穿著一襲黑紅相間的長袍，

我注意到他的雙腳踩著一塊碎裂的石頭，

石縫里鉆出鴿子似的百合，齊膝高。

看到這些景象，我的心被烈焰照亮，

我對著貝雅特麗采大嚷：“他們都是誰?”

每一個名字她都熟悉，給出了答案：

“第一個是埃斯庫羅斯，第二個是索福克勒斯，

最后一個(淚如溪涌的!)是歐里庇得斯。”
