中文版里徐遲的本子算是最最有名的了(上海譯文和吉林人民出版社都出過(guò),包裝不同,內(nèi)容是一樣的).個(gè)人以為這樣的書(shū)非徐遲這樣有底氣又有定力的老一輩學(xué)者(我見(jiàn)過(guò)他的照片,一個(gè)清澄平和的老人)不能譯.畢竟是150多年前的文章了,而且講的又是”人如何通過(guò)純感官與具有神性的大自然交流溝通”的超驗(yàn)主義問(wèn)題,不實(shí)際得一塌糊涂,不和時(shí)宜得一塌糊涂.現(xiàn)在的譯者心都比較活潑,對(duì)待此類作品的態(tài)度怕只會(huì)是句簡(jiǎn)單的”理你都傻”.ROBINWILLIAMS念的《哦,船長(zhǎng)!我的船長(zhǎng)!》是紀(jì)念大胡子林肯的,WHITMAN(1819-1892)原作,出自《草葉集:紀(jì)念林肯總統(tǒng)》LEAVESOFGRASS:MemoriesofPresidentLincoln.WHITMAN的詩(shī)還是挺好懂的.他活在一個(gè)人們可以自由自在地理直氣壯地粗俗的時(shí)代,粗俗得純粹,粗俗得磅礴,粗俗得欣欣向榮,粗俗得可愛(ài)之極.之后美國(guó)文學(xué)便由浪漫主義轉(zhuǎn)入現(xiàn)實(shí)主義,從W.D.HOWELLS到MARKTWAIN到HENRYJAMES到JACKLONDON主題漸漸深沉,情節(jié)漸漸復(fù)雜,作家那支筆也漸漸拖泥帶水起來(lái).隨后的自然主義作品行文雖稍稍松了口氣,主題卻達(dá)到了凝重的極至.WHITMAN的時(shí)代一去不返.最后還要提到的是莎士比亞的第18號(hào)十四行詩(shī)和拜倫的”她在美中步履姍姍”.當(dāng)死亡詩(shī)社山洞里來(lái)了兩個(gè)女生時(shí),兩個(gè)男生為恭維她們甩出的漂亮句子實(shí)際上來(lái)自于這兩首不朽佳作.無(wú)論如何,MM們聽(tīng)到好詩(shī)的那一瞬散發(fā)出的光彩絕對(duì)是眩目而令人難忘的!Sonnet18ShallIcomparetheetoasummer'sday?Thouartmorelovelyandmoretemperate:RoughwindsdoshakethedarlingbudsofMay,Andsummer'sleasehathalltooshortadate:Sometimetoohottheeyeofheavenshines,Andoftenishisgoldcomplexiondimmed,Andeveryfairfromfairsometimedeclines,Bychance,ornature'schangingcourseuntrimmed:Butthyeternalsummershallnotfade,Norlosepossessionofthatfairthouow'st,Norshalldeathbragthouwand'restinhisshade,Whenineternallinestotimethougrow'st,Solongasmencanbreatheoreyescansee,Solonglivesthis,andthisgiveslifetothee.
