許淵衝譯詩經·風

細品了熟悉的幾篇，其他的也草草地讀了一遍。其中有些句子翻得還挺有詩經的味道的 Together we'll drink wine And live to ninety-nine. With zither by our side, In peace we shall abide.” 宜言飲酒， 與子偕老。 琴瑟在御， 莫不靜好。 Gloomy wind and rain blend; The cocks crow without end. When I have seen my dear, How full I feel of cheer! 風雨如晦， 雞鳴不已。 既見君子， 雲胡不喜？ It's near dusk, lo! Why not home go? It is for you We're wet with dew. It's near dusk, lo! Why not home go? For you, O Sire, We toil in mire. 式微 My two sons take a boat; Downstream their shadows float. I miss them when they're out; My heart is tossed about. My two sons take a boat; Far, far away they float. I think of them so long. Would no one do them wrong! 二子乘舟， 泛泛其景。 願言思子， 中心養養。 二子乘舟， 泛泛其逝。 願言思子， 不瑕有害。 Coming back from the mead. She gives me a rare reed, Lovely not for it's rare: It's given by the fair. 自牧歸荑， 洵美且異。 匪女之爲美， 美人之貽。 The rat has teeth, you see? Man must have dignity. If he lacks dignity, For what but death waits he? 相鼠有齒， 人而無止。 人而無止， 不死何俟？ “Come with your cart,”I said, “To you I will be wed.” How fresh were mulberries With their fruit on the trees! Beware, O turtledove, Eat not the fruit of love! 以爾車來， 以我賄遷。 桑之未落， 其葉沃若。 于嗟鳩兮， 無食桑葚。 I'd live with him till old; My grief was not foretold. The endless stream has shores; My endless grief e'er pours. When we were girl and boy, We'd talk and laugh with joy. He pledged to me his troth. Could he forget his oath? He's forgot what he swore. Should I say any more? 及爾偕老， 老使我怨。 淇則有岸， 隰則有泮。 總角之宴， 言笑晏晏。 信誓旦旦， 不思其反。 反是不思， 亦已焉哉！ She throws a quince to me; I give her a green jade Not in return, you see, But to show acquaintance made. She throws a peach to me; I give her a white jade Not in return, you see, But to show friendship made. She throws a plum to me; I give her jasper fair Not in return, you see, But to show love fore'er. 投我以木瓜， 報之以瓊琚。 匪報也， 永以爲好也。 投我以木桃， 報之以瓊瑤。 匪報也， 永以爲好也。 投我以木李， 報之以瓊玖。 匪報也， 永以爲好也。 How can those who nor reap nor sow Have three hundred sheaves of corn in their place? How can those who nor hunt nor chase Have in their courtyard badgers of each race? Those lords are good Who do not need work for food! 不稼不穡， 胡取禾三百億兮？ 不狩不獵， 胡瞻爾庭有縣特兮？ 彼君子兮， 不素食兮！ The bright moon gleams; My dear love beams. Her face so fair, Can I not care? The bright moon turns; With love she burns. The fruits from mume-tree fall, One-third of them away. If you love me at all, Woo me a lucky day! The fruits from mume-tree fall, Two-thirds of them away. If you love me at all, Woo me this very day! The fruits from mume-tree fall, Now all of them away. If you love me at all, You need not woo but say. 摽有梅， 其實七兮。 求我庶士， 迨其吉兮！ 摽有梅， 其實三兮， 求我庶士， 迨其今兮！ 摽有梅， 頃筐塈之。 求我庶士， 迨其謂之！

翻譯的基礎，是建立在自己對詩歌的理解之上的，可能自古以來對詩經的解讀衆說紛紜，但是許淵衝能用自己的方式讓詩經走向世界，真的挺不錯的。
