莎士比亚三段绝美经典原文+权威译文
(朱生豪/梁宗岱译本,
分诗歌、喜剧、悲剧三类,
文辞意境顶尖)

第一段:《十四行诗第十八首》(爱情与永恒美学,莎翁诗歌巅峰,梁宗岱译)

英文原文

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

中文译文(梁宗岱)

我怎么能够把你来比作夏天?
你不独比它可爱也比它温婉:
狂风把五月宠爱的嫩蕊作践,
夏天出赁的期限又未免太短:
天上的眼睛有时照得太酷烈,
它那炳耀的金颜又常遭掩蔽;
一切美的事物终会凋残,
或遭机缘,或随天道自然流转。
但是你的长夏永远不会凋落,
也不会损失你这皎洁的红芳;
或死神夸口你在他影里漂泊,
当你在不朽的诗里与时同长。
只要一天有人类,或人有眼睛,
这诗将长存,并且赐给你生命。

赏析

全诗以夏日喻美人,用自然万物的易逝反衬诗歌与美不朽,辞藻温润绮丽,比喻层层递进,是西方抒情诗最经典篇目。
第二段:《皆大欢喜》“人生七幕”独白(哲思写景,文笔空灵旷远,朱生豪译)

英文原文(第二幕第七场)

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

中文译文(朱生豪)

全世界是一个舞台,
所有的男男女女不过是一些演员;
他们都有下场的时候,也都有上场的时候。
一个人的一生中扮演着好几个角色,
他的表演可以分为七个时期。
最初是婴孩,在保姆的怀中啼哭呕吐。
然后是背着书包、满脸红光的学童,
像蜗牛一样慢吞吞地拖着脚步,
不情愿地呜咽着上学堂。
然后是情人,像炉灶一样叹着气,
写了一首悲哀的诗歌咏着他恋人的眉毛。
然后是一个军人,满口发着古怪的誓,
胡须长得像豹子一样,爱惜着名誉,
动不动就要打架,在炮口上寻求着泡沫一样的荣名。
然后是法官,胖胖圆圆的肚子塞满了阉鸡,
凛然的眼光,整洁的胡须,满嘴都是格言和老生常谈;
他这样扮了他的一个角色。
第六个时期变成了精瘦的趿着拖鞋的龙钟老叟,
鼻子上架着眼镜,腰边悬着钱袋;
他那年轻时候节省下来的长袜子套在皱瘪的小腿上显得宽大异常;
他那朗朗的男子的口音又变成了孩子似的尖声,
像是吹着风笛和哨子。
终结着这段古怪的多事的历史的最后一场,
是孩提时代的再现,全然的遗忘,
没有牙齿,没有眼睛,没有口味,没有一切。

赏析

以舞台喻人生,铺陈人一生七段光景,意象鲜活细腻,文字兼具诗意与通透的生命思考,辞藻舒缓优美,流传千年。
第三段:《罗密欧与朱丽叶》阳台定情独白(浪漫悲剧巅峰,柔情文字,朱生豪译)

英文原文(第二幕第二场,朱丽叶独白)

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.
’Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

中文译文(朱生豪)

啊,罗密欧,罗密欧!你为什么偏偏是罗密欧呢?
否认你的父亲,抛弃你的姓名吧;
也许你不愿意这样做,那么只要你宣誓做我的爱人,
我也不愿再姓凯普莱特了。
只有你的姓名才是我的仇敌;
你即使不姓蒙太古,仍然是这样的一个你。
姓不姓蒙太古又有什么关系呢?
它又不是手,又不是脚,
又不是手臂,又不是脸,又不是身上任何其余的部分。
换一个姓名吧!姓名本来是没有意义的;
我们叫做玫瑰的这一种花,要是换了个名字,
它的香味还是同样的芬芳;
罗密欧要是换了别的名字,
他的可爱的完美也绝不会有丝毫改变。
罗密欧,抛弃了你的名字吧;
我愿意把我整个的心灵,赔偿你这一个身外的空名。

赏析

月夜阳台的告白,以玫瑰为核心喻象,剥离姓氏偏见,写纯粹超越门第的爱恋,词句温柔缠绵,韵律婉转,是西方爱情文学最动人段落。
