“希望”长着羽毛的样子
作者：狄金森
乱译：培善
“希望”长着羽毛的样子 ——
栖居在魂灵深处——
哼着忘了歌词的调子
永不停息——决不——
无限甜蜜——即便大风突起——听——
即便痛楚的——必定会狂飙——
即便是羞愧难当的小鸟——
也会带来如此温暖——
我曾在极寒之地倾听——
即便是陌生的海域——
然而——决不——即便在世界的尽头——
讨要一点儿面包屑——向着我
英文版：
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
网络译本一：
“希望”是长着羽毛的东西
作者：狄金森
翻译：岩子
“希望”是长着羽毛的东西 ——
它栖居在灵魂深处——
吟咏着没有歌词的旋律——
且永远——永远不会罢息——
它尤为甜蜜——悦耳——于大风大浪——
那必许是席卷八荒的狂飙——
让保守温暖的小鸟
羞愧难当——
在极寒之地我有过听说——
在诡异无比的海上——
然而——从未——即使濒临绝境
它也没有向我讨要过——半颗口粮。

希望
作者/艾米莉.迪金森
翻译/金舟
" 希望" 是物长着羽毛
寄居在灵魂里，
唱着没有词的曲调，
绝无丝毫停息，
微风吹送最为甘甜
暴雨致痛无疑
能够使得小鸟不安
保有此多暖意。
听它越过奇妙大海
飞遍严寒田地
可它不要我面包屑
哪怕饥饿至极。
原文二：
"Hope" (254)
"HOPE" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul，
And sings the tune without the words，
And never stops at all，
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest Sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of Me.
