双语有声阅读：诗歌欣赏：《再别康桥》英文版

Very quietly I take my leave

As quietly as I came here;

Quietly I wave good-bye

To the rosy¹ clouds in the western sky.

轻轻的我走了，

正如我轻轻的来；

我轻轻的招手，

作别西天的云彩。

 

The golden willows² by the riverside

Are young brides in the setting sun;

Their reflections on the shimmering³ waves

Always linger in the depth of my heart.

那河畔的金柳，

是夕阳中的新娘；

波光里的艳影，

在我的心头荡漾。

 

The floatingheart growing in the sludge

Sways leisurely⁴ under the water;

In the gentle waves of Cambridge

I would be a water plant!

软泥上的青荇，

油油的在水底招摇；

在康桥的柔波里，

我甘心做一条水草！

 

That pool under the shade of elm trees

Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;

Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds

Is the sediment⁵ of a rainbow-like dream?

那榆荫下的一潭，

不是清泉,是天上虹,

揉碎在浮藻间，

沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

 

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream

To where the green grass is more verdant⁶;

Or to have the boat fully⁷ loaded with starlight

And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.

寻梦？撑一支长蒿，

向青草更青处漫溯，

满载一船星辉，

在星辉斑斓里放歌。

 

But I cannot sing aloud

Quietness is my farewell music;

Even summer insects help silence for me

Silent is Cambridge tonight!

但我不能放歌，

悄悄是别离的笙箫；

夏虫也为我沉默，

沉默是今晚的康桥！

 

Very quietly I take my leave

As quietly as I came here;

Gently I flick⁸ my sleeves

Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

悄悄的我走了，

正如我悄悄的来；

我挥一挥衣袖，

不带走一片云彩。
