波斯短歌行译笺 其一 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押蒸韵
驱尽繁星天宇澄,扫除长夜看东升。
殷勤又唤浮生梦,遥射宫楼最上层。
注:○繁星:傅玄《杂诗》其一:“繁星依青天,列宿自成行。”天宇:天空也。左思《魏都赋》:“傮响起,疑震霆。天宇骇,地庐惊。”○扫除:廓清也。《三国志·蜀志·先主传》:“扫除寇难,靖匡王室。”长夜:《楚辞·九章·悲回风》:“终长夜之曼曼兮,掩此哀而不去。”○殷勤:关注貌。曹操 《请追赠郭嘉封邑表》:“贤君殷勤于清良,圣祖敦笃于明勋。”浮生:《庄子·刻意》:“其生若浮,其死若休。”此句译原文之“觉矣!”(Wake!)○宫楼:宫中之殿阁楼宇。张籍《寒食内宴》其一:“朝光瑞气满宫楼。”宫楼最上层,译“苏丹之塔楼”,盖用原文则韵致不易协也。
Wake! For the Sun, who scatter'd into flight
The Stars before him from the Field of Night,
Drives Night along with them from Heav'n, and strikes
The Sultán's Turret with a Shaft of Light.
Wake! For the Sun, who scatter'd into flight
The Stars before him from the Field of Night,
Drives Night along with them from Heav'n, and strikes
The Sultán's Turret with a Shaft of Light.
