雙語詩歌翻譯|詩經(jīng)·《國風·魏風·園有桃》

《國風·魏風·園有桃》是周代著名文學作品《詩經(jīng)》中的詩歌。這首詩以四言為主，雜以三言、五言和六言，句法參差，確如姚際恒所說：“詩如行文?！保ā对娊?jīng)通論》）押韻位置兩章詩相同，前半六句韻腳在一、二、四、六句末；后半六句換韻，韻腳在七、八、十、十一、十二句末，并且十、十一兩句重復，哀思綿延，確有“長歌當哭”的味道。

《詩經(jīng)--國風·魏風·園有桃》

園有桃，其實之肴。
心之憂矣，我歌且謠。
不知我者，謂我士也驕。
彼人是哉！子曰何其？
心之憂矣，有誰知之？
有誰知之？蓋亦勿思。

園有棘，其實之食。
心之憂矣，聊以行國。
不知我者，謂我士也罔極。
彼人是哉！子曰何其？
心之憂矣，有誰知之？
有誰知之？蓋亦勿思。

Fruit of peach tree
Is used as food.
It saddens me
To sing and brood.
Who knows me not
Says I am proud.
He's right in what?
Tell me aloud.
I'm full of woe,
My heart would sink.
But who would know?
No one will think.

Of garden tree
I eat the date.
It saddens me
To roam the state.
Who knows me not
Says I am queer.
He's right in what?
O let me hear!
I'm full of woe,
My heart would sink.
But who would know?
No one will think.
