 原文： To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time BY ROBERT HERRICK Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he’s to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worstTimes still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And while ye may, go marry; For having lost but once your prime,You may forever tarry. 文华馆馆主自译： 致妙龄少女：尽享芳华 玫瑰初绽直须摘，亘古时光似飞电。 此花陶陶今日笑，明朝残红芳魂销。 苍穹耀日光璀璨，直上九天益登攀。 疾疾途程奔愈近，寂寂此生无多春。 风华绝代最少年，青春热血暖心间。 岁月闲抛颓欲至，明日尤悲甚今日。 尽享芳华勿矜羞，良缘还须趁佳偶。 华年仅此若枉失，汝生永误空悔迟！ 附注: 此诗同中国诗《金缕衣》“花开堪折直须折 ，莫待无花空折枝”有异曲同工之妙，此诗展开写，演绎深详。作者罗伯特·赫立克是英国十七世纪诗人，一生追慕大诗人本·琼森（Ben Johnson)，此诗为其名作。原诗押abab隔句韵，韵脚随段流转，译时因选字的原因我擅改为对句韵，念起来韵律感更強一点，故略有出入。 |
