雨雪時候的星辰

Bing Xin

冰心

The therMometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero,but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots,yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.

寒暑表降到冰點下18度的時候,我們也是在廊下睡覺。每夜最熟識的就是天上的星辰了。也不過是點點閃爍的光明,而相看慣了,偶然不見,也有些想望與無聊。

It had been snowing all night, not a single scar in sight. My roommate and I,each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.

連夜雨雪,一點星光都看不見。荷和我擁衾對坐,在廊子的兩角,遙遙談話。

She exclaimed pointing to something afar, "Look, Venus in rising!”I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, "It's Jupiter over there!”

荷指着說:“你看維納斯(Venus)升起來了!”我擡頭望時,卻是山路轉折處的路燈。我恰然一笑,也指着對山的一星燈火說:“那邊是丘比特(Jupiter)呢!”

More and more lights came into sighs as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.

愈指愈多。松林中射來零亂的風燈,都成了滿天星宿。真的,雪花隙裏,看不出來天空和森林的界限,將繁燈當作繁星,簡直是抵得過。

Completely lost in a make-believe world,I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when l woke up from my dreams in the dead of night.

一念至誠的將假作真,燈光似乎都從地上飄起。這幻成的星光,都不移動,不必半夜夢醒時,再去追尋他們的位置。

Thus I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night!

於是雨雪寂寞之夜,也有了慰安了!

荷塘月色

Zhu Ziqing

朱自清

The last few days have found me very restless. This evening as I sat in the yard to enjoy the cool,it struck me how different the lotus pool I pass every day must look under a full moon. The moon was sailing higher and higher up the heavens, the sound of childish laughter had died away from the lane beyond our wall, and my wife was in the house patting Juner and humming a lullaby to him. I quietly slipped on a long gown, and walked out leaving the door on the latch.

這幾天心裏頗不寧靜。今晚在院子裏坐着乘涼,日日走過的荷塘,在這滿月的光裏,總該另有一番樣子吧。月亮漸漸地升高了,牆外馬路上孩子們的歡笑,已經聽不見了;妻在屋裏拍着閏兒,迷迷糊糊地哼着眠歌。我悄悄地披了大衫,帶上門出去。

A cinder-path winds along by the side of the pool. It is off the beaten track and few pass this way even by day, so at night it is still more quiet. Trees grow thick and bosky all around the pool,with willows and other trees I cannot name by the path. On nights when there is no moon the track is almost terrifyingly dark,but tonight it was quite clear, though the moonlight was pale.

沿着荷塘,是一條曲折的小煤屑路。這是一條幽僻的路;白天也少人走,夜晚更加寂寞。荷塘四面,長着許多樹,菊贊鬱郁的。路的一旁,是些楊柳,和一些不知道名字的樹。沒有月光的晚上,這路上陰森森的,有些怕人。今晚卻很好,雖然月光也還是淡淡的

Strolling alone down the path,hands behind my back, I felt as if the whole earth and sky were mine and I had stepped outside my usual self into another world. I like both excitement and stillness,under the full moon,I could think of whatever I pleased or of nothing at all,and that gave me a sense of freedom. All daytime duties could be disregarded. That was the advantage of solitude: I could savour to the full that expanse of fragrant lotus and the moonlight.

路上只我一個人,揹着手踱着。這一片天地好像是我的;我也像超出了平常的自己,到了另一世界裏。我愛熱鬧,也愛冷靜;愛羣居,也愛獨處。像今晚上,一個人在這蒼茫的月下,什麼都可以想,什麼都可以不想,便覺是個自由的人。白天裏一定要做的事,一定要說的話,現在都可不理。這是獨處的妙處,我且受用這無邊的荷香月色好了。

As far as the eye could see, the pool with its winding margin was covered with trim leaves, which rose high out of the water like the flared skirts of dancing girls. And starring these tiers of leaves were white lotus flowers, alluringly open or bashfully in bud, like glimmering pearls, stars in an azure sky, or beauties fresh from the bath. The breeze carried past gusts of fragrance,like the strains of a song faintly heard from a far-off tower. And leaves and blossoms trembled slightly, while in a flash the scent was carried away. As the closely serried leaves bent, a tide of opaque emerald could be glimpsed. That was the softly running water beneath,hidden from sight, its colour invisible, though the leaves looked more graceful than ever.

曲曲折折的荷塘上面,彌望的是田田的葉子。葉子出水很高,像亭亭的舞女的裙。層層的葉子中間,零星地點綴着些白花,有嫋娜地開着的,有羞澀地打着朵兒的;正如一粒粒的明珠,又如碧天裏的星星,又如剛出浴的美人。微風過處,送來縷縷清香,彷彿遠處高樓上渺茫的歌聲似的。這時候葉子與花也有一絲的顫動,像閃電般,霎時傳過荷塘的那邊去了。葉子本是肩並肩密密地挨着,這便宛然有了一道凝碧的波痕。葉子底下是脈脈的流水,遮住了,不能見一些顏色;而葉子卻更見風致了。

Moonlight cascaded like water over the lotus leaves and flowers,and a light blue mist floating up from the pool made them seem washed in milk or caught in a gauzy dream. Though the moon was full,a film of pale clouds in the sky would not allow its rays to shine through brightly; but I felt this was all to the good—though refreshing sleep is indispensable, short naps have a charm all their own. As the moon shone from behind them,the dense trees on the hills threw checkered shadows,dark forms loomed like devils,and the sparse, graceful shadows of willows seemed painted on the lotus leaves. The moonlight on the pool was not uniform,but light and shadow made up a harmonious rhythm like a beautiful tune played on a violin.

月光如流水一般,靜靜地瀉在這一片葉子和花上。薄薄的青霧浮起在荷塘裏。葉子和花彷彿在牛乳中洗過一樣;又像籠着輕紗的夢。雖然是滿月,天上卻有一層淡淡的雲,所以不能朗照;但我以爲這恰是到了好處—酣眠固不可少,小睡也別有風味的。月光是隔了樹照過來的,高處叢生的灌木,落下參差的斑駁的黑影,峭楞楞如鬼一般;彎彎的楊柳的稀疏的倩影,卻又像是畫在荷葉上。塘中的月色並不均勻;但光與影有着和諧的旋律,如梵婀玲上奏着的名曲。

Far and near, high and low around the pool were trees,most of them willows. These trees had the pool entirely hemmed in,the only small clearings left being those by the path,apparently intended for the moon. All the trees were somber as dense smoke, but among them you could make out the luxuriant willows, while faintly above the tree-tops loomed distant hills-their general outline only. And between the trees appeared one or two street lamps, listless as the eyes of someone drowsy. The liveliest sounds at this hour were the cicadas chirruping on the trees and the frogs croaking in the pool;but this animation was theirs alone, I had no part in it.

荷塘的四面,遠遠近近,高高低低都是樹,而楊柳最多。這些樹將一片荷塘重重圍住;只在小路一旁,漏着幾段空隙,像是特爲月光留下的。樹色一例是陰陰的,乍看像一團煙霧;但楊柳的風姿,便在煙霧裏也辨得出。樹梢上隱隱約約的是一帶遠山,只有些大意罷了。樹縫裏也漏着一兩點路燈光,沒精打采的,是渴睡人的眼。這時候最熱鬧的,要數樹上的蟬聲與水裏的蛙聲;但熱鬧是它們的,我什麼也沒有。

Then lotus-gathering flashed into my mind. This was an old custom south of the Yangtse, which apparently originated very early and was most popular in the period of the Six Kingdoms, as we see from the songs of the time. The lotus were picked by girls in small boats, who sang haunting songs as they padded. They turned out in force,we may be sure, and there were spectators too, for that was a cheerful festival and a romantic one. We have a good account of it in a poem by Emperor Yuan of the Liang dynasty called Lotus Gatherers:

忽然想起採蓮的事情來了。採蓮是江南的舊俗,似乎很早就有,而六朝時爲盛;從詩歌裏可以約略知道。採蓮的是少年的女子,她們是蕩着小船,唱着豔歌去的。採蓮人不用說很多,還有看採蓮的人。那是一個熱鬧的季節,也是一個風流的季節。梁元帝《採蓮賦》裏說得好:

Deft boys and pretty girls

reach an understanding while boating;

Their prows veer slowly,

but the winecups pass quickly;

Their oars are entangled,

as they cut through the duckweed,

and girls with slender waists

turn to gaze behind them.

Now spring and summer meet,

leaves are tender, flowers fresh;

with smiles they protect their silks,

drawing in their skirts, afraid lest the boat upset.

於是妖童媛女,

盪舟心許;

鵝首徐回,

兼傳羽杯;

摧將移而藻掛,

船欲動而萍開。

爾其纖腰束素,

遷延顧步;

夏始春餘,

葉嫩花初,

恐沾裳而淺笑,

畏傾船而斂據。

There we have a picture of these merry excursions. This must have been a delightful event, and it is a great pity we cannot enjoy it today.

可見當時嬉遊的光景了。這真是有趣的事,可惜我們現在早已無福消受了。

I also remember some lines from the poem West lslet:

於是又記起《西洲曲》裏的句子:

When they gather lotus at Nantang in autumn

the lotus blooms are higher than their heads;

They stoop to pick lotus seeds,

seeds as translucent as water.

採蓮南塘秋,蓮花過人頭;低頭弄蓮子,蓮子清如水。

If any girls were here now to pick the lotus,the flowers would reach above their heads too-ah,rippling shadows alone are not enough! I was feeling quite homesick for the south,when I suddenly looked up to discover I had reached my own door. Pushing it softly open and tiptoeing in,I found all quiet inside, and my wife fast asleep.

今晚若有采蓮人,這兒的蓮花也算得“過人頭”了;只不見一些流水的影子,是不行的。這令我到底惦着江南了。—這樣想着,猛一擡頭,不覺已是自己的門前;輕輕地推門進去,什麼聲息也沒有,妻已睡熟好久了。

海上日出

Ba Jin

巴金

I would often get up early to watch the sunrise when it was not yet quiet light and all was quiet except for the droning of the ship engine.

爲了看日出,我常常早起。那時天還沒有大亮,周圍非常清靜,船上只有機器的響聲。

The sky was pale with a bluish blue. Soon a streak of pink dawn broke over the horizon,expanding gradually and becoming brighter and brighter. Knowing that the sun was about to rise, I had my eyes fixed on the distant edge of the sea.

天空還是一片淺藍,顏色很淺。轉眼間天邊出現了一道紅霞,慢慢地在擴大它的範圍,加強它的亮光。我知道太陽要從天邊升起來了,便不轉眼地望着那裏。

As expected, the sun soon appeared revealing half of its face, which was very red but not bright It kept rising laboriously bit by bit as if weighted down with a heavy burden on its back until,after breaking through the rosy clouds;it completely emerged from the sea aglow with a lovely red. Then,before I knew it, the dark red orb began to shine blazingly, dazzling my eyes until they stung and all of a sudden lighting up the surrounding cloud.

果然過了一會兒,在那個地方出現了太陽的小半邊臉,紅是真紅,卻沒有亮光。這個太陽好像負着重荷似的一步一步、慢慢地努力上升,到了最後,終於衝破了雲霞,完全跳出了海面,顏色紅得非常可愛。一剎那間,這個深紅的圓東西,忽然發出了奪目的亮光,射得人眼睛發痛,它旁邊的雲片也突然有了光彩。

Sometimes,hidden by the clouds, the sun nonetheless shed its rays straight onto the sea water, making it difficult for me to distinguish between the sky and the sea because what I saw in front of me was nothing but a wide expanse of brilliant light.

有時太陽走進了雲堆中,它的光線卻從雲裏射下來,直射到水面上。這時候要分辨出哪裏是水,哪裏是天,倒也不容易,因爲我就只看見一片燦爛的亮光。

Sometimes, with thick layers of dark clouds hanging in the sky, the sun was hardly visible to the naked eye. But its radiance managed to show through the dark clouds to edge them with golden lace. Then, after gradually breaking through the tight encirclement, it came into full view and even dyed the dark clouds purple or scarlet. At the moment, apart from the sun,the clouds and the seawater, I too was luminous.

有時天邊有黑雲,而且雲片很厚,太陽出來,人眼還看不見。然而太陽在黑雲裏放射的光芒,透過黑雲的重圍,替黑雲鑲了一道發光的金邊。後來太陽才慢慢地衝出重圍,出現在天空,甚至把黑雲也染成了紫色或者紅色。這時候發亮的不僅是太陽、雲和海水,連我自己也成了明亮的了。

Wasn't that a marvelous spectacle?

這不是很偉大的奇觀麼?
