Sonnet 75 So are you to my thoughts as food to life, 2016 02 04
So are you to my thoughts as food to life,
我心之盼你如生命(之)需要食物,
Or as sweet-season'd showers are to the ground;
或如綠草之盼望及時甘霖;
And for the peace of you I hold such strife
為了與你相睦,我正在守財奴
As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found.
的吝嗇與他的財富間找平衡。 (拉鋸著)
Now proud as an enjoyer, and anon
一會兒,像一個自豪者,享受你(著),
Doubting the filching age will steal his treasure;
立刻又擔心偷香者正覬覦你;
Now counting best to be with you alone,
有時打算最好單獨與你一起(享受),
Then better'd that the world may see my pleasure:
但又想(更好)是能讓世人看得妒忌:稱羨
Sometime all full with feasting on your sight,
有時候,全然飽足的被你望著,
And by and by clean starved for a look;
卻又不時極飢渴的向你一瞅(瞄)。
Possessing or pursuing no delight
除非是向你要的或是你給的,
Save what is had, or must from you be took.
我不能擁用或追求任何享受。
Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day,
如此,我在飢餓與過量之間,或
Or gluttoning on all, or all away.
一日(天)饕餮暴食,一日腸飢肚餓(根本沒有)。

SONNET 75 十四行诗第75首北斗第一星
So are you to my thoughts as food to life,
你之于我思,犹食之于命,
Or as sweet-season'd showers are to the ground;
或有如大地亟盼之甘霖;
And for the peace of you I hold such strife
我忐忑不安,为求你安宁,
As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found;
如财迷与财富-怎生搞定!
Now proud as an enjoyer, and anon
X视享有者-适才还骄傲,
Doubting the filching age will steal his treasure;
旋恐年华悄逝-如失财宝;
Now counting best to be with you alone,
刚认为与你独处乃最好,
Then better'd that the world may see my pleasure:
忽又觉招摇过市或更妙。
Sometime, all full with feasting on your sight,
从前曾瞩视你,秀色饱餐,
And by and by clean starved for a look;
渐渐又饿极了,瞄上一眼;
Possessing or pursuing no delight,
占有与追求皆意趣索然,
Save what is had or must from you be took.
除非你已赐或该施恩典。
Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day,
如此,我沉湎,且日渐憔悴,
Or gluttoning on all, or all away.
或暴食狂饮,或百无一味。
[附1]:梁宗岱教授译本- [附2]:曹明伦教授译本-
我的心需要你,像生命需要食粮, 你于我的心好比粮食于生命,
或者像大地需要及时的甘霖; 或恰如及时的春雨对于土地;
为你的安宁我内心那么凄惶 我竭力想从你那儿获取安宁,
就像贪夫和他的财富作斗争: 就像守财奴守着财产的心理:
他,有时自夸财主,然后又顾[虑] 有时作为拥有者而得意飘然,
这惯窃的时代会偷他的财宝; 有时又怕时间窃贼偷走财宝;
我,有时觉得最好独自伴着[你],忽而认为最好与你单独相伴,
忽然又觉得该把你当众夸耀: 忽而又想携你招摇过市更妙;
有时饱餐秀色后腻到化不开, 刚才还把你凝视并大饱眼福,
渐渐地又饿得慌要瞟你一眼; 转眼又渴望见你如已;
既不占有也不追求别的欢快, 除了从你那儿获得欢欣鼓舞,
除掉那你已施或要施的恩典。 我没有别的欢乐也不去追求。
这样,我整天垂涎或整天不消化, 我就这样日复一日忽饱忽饿,
我狼吞虎咽,或一点也咽不下。 要么枵腹无餐要么大吃大喝。
【附3】:屠岸译本-
我的思想需要你,像生命盼食物, 或者像大地渴望及时的甘霖;
为了你给我的安慰,我斗争,痛苦, 好像守财奴对他的财物不放心:
有时候是个享受者,挺骄傲,立刻- 又害怕老年把他的财物偷去;
刚觉得跟你单独地相处最快乐, 马上又希望人家能看见我欢愉:
有时候我大嚼一顿,把你看个够, 不久又想看,因为我饿得厉害;
任何欢乐我都不追求或占有, 除了从你那儿得到的欢乐以外。
我就这样子一天挨饿一天饱,不是没吃的,就是满桌的佳肴。
