上次阅读课老师给我们看了Scarborough Fair的诗经体翻译...真的很强...据说是一个叫莲波的人译的，发到博客里自己瞻仰：

问尔所之，是否如适 Are you going to Scarborough Fair


蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme


彼方淑女，凭君寄辞 Remember me to one who lives there


伊人曾在，与我相知 She once was a true love of mine




嘱彼佳人，备我衣缁 Tell her to make me a cambric shirt


蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme


勿用针剪，无隙无疵 Without no seams nor needle work


伊人何在，慰我相思 Then she will be a true love of mine


伴唱：

彼山之阴，深林荒址 On the side of hill in the deep forest green


冬寻毡毯，老雀燕子 Tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown


雪覆四野，高山迟滞 Blankets and bed clothes the child of maintain


眠而不觉，寒笳清嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call




嘱彼佳人，营我家室 Tell her to find me an acre of land


蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme


良田所修，大海之坻 Between the salt water and the sea strand


伊人应在，任我相视 Then she will be a true love of mine


伴唱：

彼山之阴，叶疏苔蚀 On the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves


涤彼孤冢，珠泪渐渍 Washes the grave with slivery tears


昔我长剑，日日拂拭 A soldier cleans and polishes a gun


寂而不觉，寒笳长嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call






嘱彼佳人，收我秋实 Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather


蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷 Parsley sage rosemary and thyme


敛之集之，勿弃勿失 And gather it all in a bunch of heather


伊人犹在，唯我相誓 Then she will be a ture love of mine


伴唱：

烽火印啸，浴血之师 War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions


将帅有令，勤王之事 Generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight


争斗缘何，久忘其旨 for a cause They have long ago forgotten


痴而不觉，寒笳悲嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
