雙語詩歌翻譯|周邦彥-《玉樓春·桃溪不作從容住》

這首詞是描寫仙凡戀愛的。開頭點出桃溪，引用劉、阮遇仙之典故自憐緣淺。輕寫一筆，委婉動人，“秋藕”句重頓一筆。而“桃溪”、“秋藕”一暗一明，分點春秋，暗寓昔今不同?！爱敃r”、“今日”，對比強烈情深意切。而“赤欄橋”、“黃葉路”又是一暗一明，分點春秋?！叭巳纭?、“情似”的結尾句，工整合情。全詞句句含情，字字含情，前后照應，累累如貫珠。

《玉樓春·桃溪不作從容住》 周邦彥

桃溪不作從容住，
秋藕絕來無續(xù)處。
當時相候赤欄橋，
今日獨尋黃葉路。

煙中列岫青無數，
雁背夕陽紅欲暮。
人如風后入江云，
情似雨余粘地絮。

Broken Lotus Root
(To the Tune of Yulouchun)
Zhou Bangyan

Young, we threw away the pastoral years.
Now like a broken lotus root it is,
impossible to join the present
and the past. Then,
we waited for each other,
standing by the vermilion-railed bridge.
Today, I search for the traces, in van,
along the deserted path buried under yellow leaves.

Through the mist, all the peaks
seem to be highlighting the blue.
Setting on the back of a wild goose,
the sun turns into a dark red.

You left, like a cloud drifting away,
across the river. The memory of
our passion is like a willow catkin
stuck to the ground, after the rain.
