【长城】


1

文明与
野蛮的争斗
何其艰烈

你看这长城
蜿蜒起伏
无止无休


2

是什么样的浪漫豪情
使我们争先攀登
高耸嶙峋的背脊
去瞻望
自动调距的镜头里
萋萋的岁月
蜿蜒万里的
龙的残骸


THE GREAT WALL

1

the struggle between civilization
and barbarism
must be ferocious

see this Great Wall
it twists and turns
with no end in sight

2

what valor
to climb the ragged ridge
and to look long and hard
through a self-adjusting lens
at the skeleton of the dragon
that sprawls miles and miles
in the wasteland
of time

“萋萋”指草長得茂盛的樣子,從英文譯文來看,似乎有點不妥。“萋迷”或“凄迷”可能更恰當。

我不懂英文,但如果是“凄迷”,再加上后面的“残骸”,前面的“浪漫豪情”便有不协调之感。第一行是否改为“是什么样的感情”呢?——个见,学习问好!

“浪漫豪情”寫的是攀登者,後面“萋萋的歲月”,“殘骸”寫的是歷史,不覺得有什麽不協調。
英文the wasteland of time可直譯為“時間的荒原”,“凄迷”指景物凄涼迷茫,所以我覺得更恰當。
