双语有声阅读：春天及一切 Spring and All

Spring and All(Excerpts)—William Carlos Williams

 

春天及一切（节选）——威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯

 

By the road to the contagious¹ hospital

 

蓝天之下汹涌云彩

 

under the surge of the blue

 

斑驳着从东北吹来

 

mottled clouds driven from the

 

通往传染病院的路上

 

northeast—a cold wind. Beyond, the

 

一阵冷风改变了视线方向

 

waste of broad, muddy fields

 

远处，大片开阔洪荒之地

 

春天及一切.jpg

 

brown with dried weeds, standing² and fallen

 

褐色的草木一岁一枯荣

 

patches of standing water

 

间或有一块一块死水

 

the scattering³ of tall trees

 

到处是高大的树木

 

All along the road the reddish

 

路上低矮树丛枝条斜横

 

purplish, forked, upstanding, twiggy⁴

 

红的紫的 叉开的直立的

 

stuff of bushes and small trees

 

许多小树下面

 

with dead, brown leaves under them

 

是枯萎的昏黄的树叶

 

leafless vines—

 

和脱尽叶子的藤蔓

 

Lifeless in appearance, sluggish⁵

 

景色呆滞了无生气

 

dazed spring approaches—

 

然后春天却慢悠悠地来了

 

They enter the new world naked,

 

春天赤裸裸地进入新世界

 

cold, uncertain of all

 

寒冷之中义无反顾

 

save that they enter. All about them

 

四周的早已不大在乎

 

the cold, familiar wind—

 

依然刮着熟悉的寒风

 

Now the grass, tomorrow

 

眼下，草地返青了，明天

 

the stiff curl of wildcarrot leaf

 

野萝卜将吐出坚实的芽胞

 

One by one objects are defined—

 

万物将逐个展露芳容

 

It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

 

迅速抽芽，模样清晰，叶子呈现轮廓

 

But now the stark dignity of

 

然而现在，是一派庄严的

 

entrance—Still, the profound change

 

初春景象–深刻的变化已经

 

has come upon them: rooted they

 

降临人间：扎下根去

 

grip down and begin to awaken

 

使劲向下伸展，大地开始苏醒
