雙語詩歌翻譯|屈原-《楚辭·離騷》

《離騷》是戰(zhàn)國時(shí)期著名詩人屈原的代表作之一，是中國古代漢族詩歌史上一首最長的政治抒情詩。詩人從自敘身世、品德、理想寫起，抒發(fā)了自己遭讒言被害的苦悶與矛盾心情，揭露了楚王昏庸、群小猖獗與朝政日非的政治現(xiàn)實(shí)，表現(xiàn)了詩人堅(jiān)持“美政” 理想、不附和邪惡勢力的自愛精神及對(duì)楚王朝至死不渝的忠誠。

屈原 《楚辭·離騷》

索瓊茅以筳篿兮，命靈氛為余占之。曰：“兩美其必合兮，孰信修而慕之？

思九州之博大兮，豈惟是其有女？”曰：“勉遠(yuǎn)逝而無狐疑兮，孰求美而釋女？

何所獨(dú)無芳草兮，爾何懷乎故宇？世幽昧以昡曜兮，孰云察余之善惡？

民好惡其不同兮，惟此黨人其獨(dú)異。戶服艾以盈要兮，謂幽蘭其不可佩。

覽察草木其猶未得兮，豈珵美之能當(dāng)？蘇糞壤以充幃兮，謂申椒其不芳。

With mistletoe and herbs of magic worth,
I urged the witch the future to show forth.
"If two attain perfection they must meet,
But who is there that would thy virtue greet?

Far the nine continents their realm display;
Why here to seek thy bride doth thou delay?
Away!" she cried. "Set craven doubt aside,
If beauty' s sought, there' s none hath with thee vied.

What place is there where orchids flower not fair?
Why is thy native land thy single care?
"Now darkly lies the world in twilight' s glow,
Who doth your defects and your virtue know?

Evil and good herein are reconciled;
The crowd alone hath nought but is defiled.
With stinking mugwort girt upon their waist,
They curse the others for their orchids chaste;

Ignorant thus in choice of fragrance rare,
Rich ornaments how could they fitly wear?
With mud and filth they fill their pendent bag;
Cursing the pepper sweet, they brawl and brag."
