武夷山旧译一则

 

死螃蟹 The Dead Crab

作者:英国诗人Andrew Young18851971

 

大红铠甲背上挂,

狂风巨浪亦不怕,

铠甲边缘伸黑针,

两粒豆眼瞪老大。

 

腹下护甲精织工,

软腹有恃便无恐,

八腿攒动节节硬,

腿脚顶端匕首凶。

 

巨螯如口大开张,

负重蹈海气昂昂,

不惧鱼鳖藐风浪,

毕竟今日把命丧!

 

噫!作“铠”自缚貌凶狂,

岂知步步趋灭亡!

The Dead Crab
By Andrew Young

A rosy shield upon its back,
That not the hardest storm could crack,
From whose sharp edge projected out
Black pinpoint eyes staring about;
Beneath, the well-knit cote-armure
That gave to its weak belly power;
The clustered legs with plated joints
That ended in stiletto points;
The claws like mouths it held outside: -
I cannot think this creature died
By storm or fish or sea-fowl harmed
Walking the sea so heavily armed;
Or does it make for death to be
Oneself a living armoury?

 

(注:该诗的原文我找不到了。哪位博友若能提供原文,将不胜感谢。)
