介绍:
Song of Solitude
By Henry David Thoreau
Adapted by Gu Weidong
I have a great deal of company in my house;
Especially in the morning, when nobody calls.
Let me suggest a few comparisons,
That some one may convey an idea of my situation.
I am no more lonely than the loon in the pond
That laughs so loud, or than Walden Pond itself.
What company has that lonely lake, I pray?
And yet it has not the blue devils,
But the blue angels [ˈeɪndʒl] in it,
In the azure[ˈæʒə] tint of its waters.
The sun is alone, except in thick weather,
When there sometimes appear to be two,
But one is a mock sun.
God is alone - but the devil,
He is far from being alone;
He sees a great deal of company; he is legion[ˈliːdʒən].
I am no more lonely than a single mullein[ˈmʌlɪn]
Or dandelion[ˈdændɪˌlaɪən] in a pasture,
Or a bean leaf, or sorrel,
Or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee[ˈbʌmblˌbiː].
I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook,
Or a weathercock, or the north star,
Or the south wind, or an April shower,
Or a January thaw,
Or the first spider/ in a new house.
孤独之歌
亨利. 大卫. 梭罗
古卫东 改编
在我的住屋周围有着许多的友伴，
特别是早晨，没人拜访时候。
让我来打几个比方，
以至于能把我的处境传达得更清。
我的孤独比不过湖上那只高声大笑的潜水鸟，
或瓦尔登湖本身。
那孤独的湖泊有什么样的伴侣，请问？
可在它天蓝色的湖面荡漾的是蓝天使，
而不是蓝色的魔鬼。
太阳是孤独的，除非阴云漫天，
有时候天空出现两个太阳，还有一个是假的。
上帝是孤独的——只有魔鬼远不止于孤独，
他有着很多很多同伙；能率领一个军团。
我的孤独比不过草原上的一朵毛蕊花或蒲公英，
或一只豌豆荚子，或醡浆草，
马蝇，或大黄蜂。
我的孤独比不过那条米尔溪，一只风信鸡，
或北斗，或南风，
我的孤独比不过一场四月的阵雨，或一月的融冰，
或爬上一座新居的第一名蜘蛛。
大家还在听
