When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be——John Keats

當(dāng)我擔(dān)憂生命就此停息時(shí)

陳紹鵬 譯

When I have fears that I may cease to be

在我的筆收集豐富的才思前

Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,

我擔(dān)憂生命就此停息，

Before high-pilèd books, in charactery,

來不及把文字變成高高堆起的書籍，

Hold like rich garners the full ripened grain;

如同豐饒的谷倉儲(chǔ)藏飽滿、成熟的谷粒；

When I behold, upon the night’s starred face,

當(dāng)我凝視著，繁星滿天的夜幕上，

Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,

浩瀚云彩所象征的非凡情韻，

And think that I may never live to trace

即使是出現(xiàn)神來之筆

Their shadows with the magic hand of chance;

此生我也無法描繪它們的云影；

And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,

當(dāng)我意識到，轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的佳人，

That I shall never look upon thee more,

也許我再也不能見到你，

Never have relish in the faery power

無法領(lǐng)略受愛情驅(qū)使的夢幻魅力

Of unreflecting love—then on the shore

——于是，在遼闊世界的岸邊

Of the wide world I stand alone, and think

我獨(dú)自佇立，思慮

Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

直到愛情與名譽(yù)沒入虛無里。
