翻译诗歌


蓝天

if you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

你是否能够保持清醒,
当所有的人都丧失理智并且谴责你。

if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting too;

你是否能够相信你自己
当所有的人怀疑你而你却宽容他们的怀疑。

if you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
or ,being hated, don't give way to hating,
and yet don't look too good, not talk too wise;

你是否能够等待并且毫无怨言
或者,被愚弄,而不散播谣言
或者,被仇恨,而不向仇恨让步
并且仍然不感觉良好,自鸣得意。

if you can dream-and not make dreams your master
你是否能够梦想而同时不被梦想牵制
;
if you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
你是否能够思考而不只想目的

if you can meet with triumph and disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same;

你是否能够偶遇胜利与灾难
并且把他们同等对待

if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
or watch the things you gave your life to be broken,
and stoop and build them up with worn out tools;

你是否能够忍受去听这个你讲的事实
却被流氓扭曲去骗傻瓜,
或者去看那些你付出生命而被打破
却弓身用旧工具来修补。

if you can make one heap of all your winnings
and risk it on one turn of pitch -and -toss,
and lose, and start again at your beginnings
and never breathe a word about your loss;

你是否能够把你成堆的胜利作孤注一掷
就是失败,也能从头开始
并且不抱怨你所失去?

if you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is nothing in you
except the will which says to them: "hold on!"

你是否能够驱使你的心与精神肉体
去适应你的改变,即使他们已经走的很远
并且坚持于一无所有
除了跟他们表明的精神:坚持

if you can talk with crowds and keep you virtue,
or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch;
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
if all men count with you, but none too much;
if you can fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds' worth of distance run-
yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
and-which is more-you'll be a man my son!

你是否能够和民众交流却能保持美德
或者与国王同行而不有失威仪
无论是否你的朋友或者敌人都不能伤害你
无论是否所有的人都赞同你,却没有一个人真心实意
你是否能够只心存一分钟的不可饶恕
伴随60秒的时间行迹
如果可以,
你,获得世界及其一切给予。
更重要的是,孩子,你将有男子汉气。

  我一直讨厌翻译诗。因为我觉得诗歌是不可能翻译的。翻译就很烂。呵呵。但是还是干了这样的事。算是锻炼英语水平。这是初稿。只解决了内容和韵脚。但是气势和情感,寓意都没有仔细推
