哈代诗：郊雪（武夷山译）

 

Snow in the Suburb

(By Thomas Hardy，1840-1928)

 

Every branch big with it,
Bent every twig with it;
Every fork like a white web-foot;
Every street and pavement mute:
Some flakes have lost their way, and grope back upward when
Meeting those meandering down they turn and descend again.
The palings are glued together like a wall,
And there is no waft of wind with the fleecy fall.
A sparrow enters the tree,
Whereon immediately
A snow-lump thrice his own slight size
Descends on him and showers his head and eye
And overturns him,
And near inurns him,
And lights on a nether twig, when its brush
Starts off a volley of other lodging lumps with a rush.
The steps are a blanched slope,
Up which, with feeble hope,
A black cat comes, wide-eyed and thin;
And we take him in.

哈代

（武夷山，1983年5月22日译，2008年3月22日修改）

 

雪花飘，

大树枝长胖了，

小树枝弯了腰，

树杈之间架起了白桥，

大街小巷静悄悄……

 

几片雪花迷失了方向,

摸摸索索往回游荡，

半道上遇着蹁跹而来的同胞，

于是结成伴儿一起飞降。

篱笆桩粘在一起成了雪墙，

没有一丝风与羊毛般的雪片携手徜徉。

 

倒霉的麻雀刚钻进树里

高枝上落下的雪团就给它一击，

撞碎在它的头上，

把它打翻坠地，

迷了它的眼，

压得它喘不过气。

高枝落雪低枝随，

雪团纷纷下，如弹雨。

 

台阶成了斜坡，白如粉，

跑上来一只瘦骨嶙峋的黑猫，双眼圆睁，

然而它一丝希望尚存――

果然，我们放它进了家门。
