stayed up too late last night, but still got up early for morning walk. but my friend didn't show up. 
anyway, 乐妹,欧今天头晕,胡诌不出。匆匆译首诗,送给美丽的你正合适。
乐妹,你是快乐的化身!
A dancing Shape, an Image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.
你在水一方,起舞翩翩; 你快乐的形影,萦绕我心。你令欧神魂颠倒。
搏乐妹一笑,不用回。 :)
She Was a Phantom of Delight
William Wordsworth
她是快乐的化身
威廉姆。华兹华斯
云天译
She was a phantom of delight
When first she gleamed upon my sight;
A lovely Apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament;
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;
Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;
A dancing Shape, an Image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.
她是快乐的化身
当她初次闪烁,映入我的眼帘;
一道欢愉的幽影,
被遣来装饰那瞬间;
她的明眸恰似黄昏时美丽的星星;
她深色的秀发,亦如傍晚的星星;
其余一切有关她的描绘,
来自五月的时光,和欢快的清晨;
她起舞的身姿,快乐的形影
令人萦怀,惊诧,出乎意料。
I saw her upon a nearer view,
A Spirit, yet a Woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A Creature not too bright or good
For human nature's daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles.
我近些观望她
那是一个精灵,也是一位女人!
她平凡的举止,轻盈自然
踩着处女般随意的步履;
她的面容展现
美好的回忆,甜蜜的诺言;
一个生灵,既不过分聪颖,也不过分美妙
恰好适应人类本能的日常需求
适应短暂的哀伤,天真的把戏,
适应赞美,责备,爱情,亲吻,泪水,和笑容。
And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A Being breathing thoughtful breath,
A Traveler between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly planned,
To warm, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright,
With something of angelic light.
此刻,我正沉静地注视
她肌体脉博的跳动;
一个一吸一吐都蕴含思想的人,
一个在生命与死亡间行走的过客;
坚定的理性,自律的意志
忍耐,远见,力量,才能;
一个完美的女人,禀赋高贵
带来温暖,舒适,和旨意;
但她仍是一个精灵,灿烂夺目
散发天使般的光辉。
