我站在楼梯上
On a Stair I Stood
皮埃尔·龙萨
Pierre de Ronsard
英译 亨伯特·沃尔夫
(English version by Humbert Wolfe)
不久前我站在楼梯上胡思乱想，
Lately as dreaming on a stair I stood
你从身边走过，看着我的面庞。
you passed me by, and, by looking on my face,
你那突如其来的优雅，
blinded my eyes with the immediate grace
让我的两眼顿时一片迷茫。
of unanticpated neighboourhood.
犹如闪电劈开云团，
As lightning splits the clouds, my heart and blood
无与伦比的美丽击碎了我的心脏；
split with your beatuty, and began to race,
一阵像冰，一阵似火，
now ice, now fever, shattered in their place
胸中的血液奔腾激荡。
by that unparelleled beatitutde.
那一晃而过的手白如天鹅，
And if you hand in passing had not beckoned--
向我示意，引我躲过死亡；
your whiter hand than is the swan's white daughter,
海伦啊，你的眼睛有如刀剑，
Helen, your eyes had wounded me to death.
否则我将难逃那犀利的锋芒。
But your hand saved me in the mortal second,
顷刻之间你让你的俘虏恢复了气息，
and your triumphant eyes the moment after
你的眼里闪耀胜利的辉光。
revived their captive with an alms of breath.
