雙語詩歌翻譯|詩經(jīng)·《國風·周南·關(guān)雎》

《國風·周南·關(guān)雎》是周代著名文學作品《詩經(jīng)》中的第一篇詩歌，通常認為是一首描寫男女戀愛的情歌。此詩在藝術(shù)上巧妙地采用了“興”的表現(xiàn)手法。首章以雎鳥相向合鳴，相依相戀，興起淑女陪君子的聯(lián)想。以下各章，又以采荇菜這一行為興起主人公對女子瘋狂地相思與追求。全詩語言優(yōu)美，善于運用雙聲、疊韻和重疊詞，增強了詩歌的音韻美和寫人狀物、擬聲傳情的生動性。

《詩經(jīng)--國風·周南·關(guān)雎》

關(guān)關(guān)雎鳩，
在河之洲。
窈窕淑女，
君子好逑。

參差荇菜，
左右流之。
窈窕淑女，
寤寐求之。

求之不得，
寤寐思服。
悠哉悠哉。
輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)。

參差荇菜，
左右采之。
窈窕淑女，
琴瑟友之。

參差荇菜，
左右毛之。
窈窕淑女。
鐘鼓樂之。

The Cooing

The waterfowl would coo
Upon an islet in the brook.
A lad would like to woo
A lass with nice and pretty look.

There grows the water grass
The folk are fond to pick;
There lives the pretty lass,
For whom the lad is sick.

Ignored by the pretty lass,
The lad would truly yearn.
The lad is hard to pass;
All night he'll toss and turn.

There grows the water grass
The folk are fond to choose;
There lives the pretty lass
Whom the lad pursues.

There grows the water grass
The folk are fond to gain;
There lives the pretty lass
The lad would entertain.
