廷騰寺 Tintern Abbey

By William Wordsworth

Five years have past; five summers, with the length
五載已去；五次夏天，延曳著
Of five long winters! and again I hear
五次漫漫冬天！我又聽見
These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs
這些水流，從山泉各處而來，
With a soft inland murmur.—Once again
輕柔帶著向內的流淌。我又
Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs,
凝望陡峭高聳的懸崖，
That on a wild secluded scene impress
懸崖此處蒼莽而隱，烙印著
Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect
向隱更深的思緒，又連結著
The landscape with the quiet of the sky.
景色與天空的靜。

The day is come when I again repose
此日來矣，而我再次安頓身心
Here, under this dark sycamore, and view
在此槭木的遮蔭下，觀望著
These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts,
農家小屋前的耕地，果園的小樹叢，
Which at this season, with their unripe fruits,
逢此季節果實未熟，
Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves
雜然混為青綠一抹，不復辨於
Mid groves and copses. Once again I see
成片的樹與邊界的矮木林。我又見到
These hedge-rows, hardly hedge-rows, little lines
這些樹籬，幾乎不是樹籬，是細細的線
Of sportive wood run wild: these pastoral farms,
任頑皮的木恣意生長：這些田園農場，
Green to the very door; and wreaths of smoke
青綠直到門口；且裊裊炊煙
Sent up, in silence, from among the trees!
從那片樹林，默默向上升起！

With some uncertain notice, as might seem
隨著模糊的感知，依稀是
Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods,
無建物樹林中的游散居民，
Or of some Hermits cave, where by his fire
又彷彿是某隱士的洞穴，篝火旁
The Hermit sits alone.
其人獨坐。

These beauteous forms,
這些美得入心的景
Through a long absence, have not been to me
暌違已經許久，對我並不等同於
As is a landscape to a blind mans eye:
盲人眼中的山水：
But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the din
然而經常，室內獨處時，在城鎮的
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them,
嘈雜中，這些景支撐著我；
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
疲憊倦怠的時辰中，柔和的感受
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart;
血液中流動著，心頭縈繞著，
And passing even into my purer mind
甚至進入我更純的心靈，
With tranquil restoration:—feelings too
伴隨著平靜復原的狀態；另外有些感覺
Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps,
來自泯忘的快樂：諸如此類，或許，
As have no slight or trivial influence
不微乎其微也不瑣碎普通，
On that best portion of a good mans life,
卻影響善人生命中最可貴的部分，
His little, nameless, unremembered, acts
即是細小無名、不受銘記的作為，
Of kindness and of love. Nor less, I trust,
同屬於善與愛。不亞於前述的是，我相信

To them I may have owed another gift,
今之若有所得，應由昔景而來，
Of aspect more sublime; that blessed mood,
得所見更崇高，得心平之境，
In which the burthen of the mystery,
此境中玄秘不可解的擔子，
In which the heavy and the weary weight
此境中沉甸而疲倦的重量，
Of all this unintelligible world,
來自理智無法透徹的世界，
Is lightened:—that serene and blessed mood,
都減輕了，此境安頓而心平，
In which the affections gently lead us on,—
在此境中，情感緩緩指引我們向前，
Until, the breath of this corporeal frame
直到這血肉之軀的氣息，
And even the motion of our human blood
甚至血液的流轉運動
Almost suspended, we are laid asleep
幾乎懸停，我們被安放
In body, and become a living soul:
入眠在肉身中，變成活生生的存在：
While with an eye made quiet by the power
與此同時，秩序和諧力，
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
以及喜悅的深層力，讓眼不再浮躁，
We see into the life of things.
我們觀入萬物生命。

If this
倘若這
Be but a vain belief, yet, oh! how oft—
不過是主觀未證的信念，然而無數次啊—
In darkness and amid the many shapes
在黑暗中，在形形色色
Of joyless daylight; when the fretful stir
來自沉悶的白日之中，當焦躁擾亂
Unprofitable, and the fever of the world,
而無所裨益，當世界的狂熱，
Have hung upon the beatings of my heart—
懸繫我心的脈搏—
How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee,
無數次在精神中，我曾轉向你，
O sylvan Wye! thou wanderer thro the woods,
蒼莽的瓦伊河噢！你這穿越樹林的旅人，
How often has my spirit turned to thee!
無數次，我的精神曾轉向你！

And now, with gleams of half-extinguished thought,
而如今，帶著思緒半滅的微光，
With many recognitions dim and faint,
帶著不少依稀相識，
And somewhat of a sad perplexity,
帶著幾分傷感困惑，
The picture of the mind revives again:
內心圖景再次甦醒復活：
While here I stand, not only with the sense
恰逢此時我佇立於此，不僅懷抱
Of present pleasure, but with pleasing thoughts
當下喜悅之感，也興起喜悅之思，
That in this moment there is life and food
思及此刻有著生命與糧食，
For future years. And so I dare to hope,
足供來年歲月。故我斗膽希望，
Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first
今昔儘管有變，此乃不疑，從我昔日初次
I came among these hills; when like a roe
來訪這些丘陵，像小鹿
I bounded oer the mountains, by the sides
跳躍這片山巒，沿著邊岸
Of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams,
順著深水河流與寂寞小溪，
Wherever nature led: more like a man
任由大自然指引；更像
Flying from something that he dreads, than one
從畏懼的事物飛奔離去，而非
Who sought the thing he loved. For nature then
追逐鍾情所愛。蓋因大自然在昔日
(The coarser pleasures of my boyish days
（我男孩歲月的粗糙快樂，
And their glad animal movements all gone by)
歡笑的動物動作，都過去了）
To me was all in all.—I cannot paint
對我曾囊括所有。今我無法描繪
What then I was. The sounding cataract
昔我之何如。那轟隆的大瀑布
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
縈繞著我像激情不散；高聳的岩石，
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
山巒山峰，既深邃又陰暗的樹林，
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
各自所屬的色彩與形狀，昔日對我
An appetite; a feeling and a love,
是渴求、是感覺，是鍾愛，
That had no need of a remoter charm,
無須更曲折隱晦的吸引，
By thought supplied, nor any interest
不須遐思補足，不須
Unborrowed from the eye.—That time is past,
眼觀而得的興致。已逝了那段歲月，
And all its aching joys are now no more,
連帶痛感的喜悅，如今都不復存，
And all its dizzy raptures. Not for this
令人暈眩的狂喜也是這般。我不為此
Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur; other gifts
而昏厥，不哀悼也不牢騷；尚有其他恩賜
Have followed; for such loss, I would believe,
接踵而至；對於如此失去，我相信會有
Abundant recompense. For I have learned
充沛的補償。蓋因我已習得

To look on nature, not as in the hour
眼觀大自然，不是片刻的眼觀，
Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes
來自年少未經思索的方式；而是時常聽見
The still sad music of humanity,
持續不消散，悲傷的人性樂音，
Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power
不刺耳不粗暴，力量儘管充沛
To chasten and subdue.—And I have felt
足以節制而降心。且我曾感受
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
一股臨在，以喜悅震動我，
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
那是思緒昂然的喜悅；崇高的感知
Of something far more deeply interfused,
來自某物更深邃的滲透交融，
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
而其棲居在日落的光，
And the round ocean and the living air,
在環繞的海洋及流動的空氣，
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man:
在藍藍的天，也在人的內心：
A motion and a spirit, that impels
那是運行與精神，驅動著
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
有所思的萬物，及思緒中的所有對象，
And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still
行經萬物而滾滾捲動。所以我仍然
A lover of the meadows and the woods
喜愛綠野與樹林，
And mountains; and of all that we behold
喜愛山，喜愛瞭望之所見，
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
來自這青綠大地；喜愛這恢弘天地，
Of eye, and ear,—both what they half create,
此乃眼耳所屬，既是眼耳構建之半，
And what perceive; well pleased to recognise
亦是眼耳感受之存；我確實歡喜而承認
In nature and the language of the sense
繫在大自然與感知語言中
The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,
是我最純思想的定錨，是褓母，
The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul
是引領，是我內心與靈魂的守護者，
Of all my moral being.
而心與魂，攸關我整體的道德生命。

Nor perchance,
或許並非如此，
If I were not thus taught, should I the more
假如我所學非此，我是否會任由
Suffer my genial spirits to decay:
如沐春風的精神，逐漸委靡不振：
For thou art with me here upon the banks
因為你與我並肩同在河岸
Of this fair river; thou my dearest Friend,
沿著這條美麗之河；你是我最親愛的朋友，
My dear, dear Friend; and in thy voice I catch
我親愛、親愛的朋友；在你的聲音中，我捕捉到
The language of my former heart, and read
昔我內心的語言，並閱讀
My former pleasures in the shooting lights
觸動昔我的喜悅，迸發瞬間的光，
Of thy wild eyes. Oh! yet a little while
來自你不馴的眼神。噢！只要時間再留一會兒，
May I behold in thee what I was once,
讓我仔細端詳，於你之中的昔我，
My dear, dear Sister! and this prayer I make,
親愛的，親愛的妹妹啊！我祈禱著，

Knowing that Nature never did betray
知道自然從不辜負
The heart that loved her; tis her privilege,
這顆深愛自然的心；此乃自然的恩典，
Through all the years of this our life, to lead
穿梭歲月與我倆人生同行，遂而從
From joy to joy: for she can so inform
一段喜悅，引向另段喜悅，因為自然依此塑造
The mind that is within us, so impress
我們內在的心智，留下印記，
With quietness and beauty, and so feed
以靜與美為伴，加以滋養
With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues,
使心中生出崇高的思緒，乃至流言惡語，
Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men,
草率評判，自私之人的冷笑，
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all
缺乏善意的寒暄問候，
The dreary intercourse of daily life,
以及日復一日枯燥乏味的交際應對，
Shall eer prevail against us, or disturb
全都無法壓倒我們，無法擾亂
Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold
我們那欣然的信念，凡我們所見
Is full of blessings. Therefore let the moon
皆充滿祝福。於是，請月光
Shine on thee in thy solitary walk;
照耀你獨行的路途；
And let the misty mountain-winds be free
且任茫霧的山風
To blow against thee: and, in after years,
向你撲面而來；數年之後，

When these wild ecstasies shall be matured
當遐思狂喜逐漸成熟至
Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind
清明的喜悅；那時你的心
Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms,
將美的姿態座落宅院，
Thy memory be as a dwelling-place
你的回憶成為棲居之所，
For all sweet sounds and harmonies; oh! then,
安頓了優美的樂音與和諧；噢，那一刻
If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief,
若孤獨、憂懼、痛苦或哀傷
Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts
須成你命中的份，你用什麼慰藉的思緒，
Of tender joy wilt thou remember me,
溫柔喜悅的思緒，來回想起為兄，
And these my exhortations! Nor, perchance—
憶及為兄的勸勉呢！此言也未必盡然—
If I should be where I no more can hear
若屆時為兄再難聽聞
Thy voice, nor catch from thy wild eyes these gleams
你的聲音，從你不馴的眼神再難捕捉
Of past existence—wilt thou then forget
昔日存在的微光—你是否會忘了

That on the banks of this delightful stream
昔日在歡喜的小溪岸邊，
We stood together; and that I, so long
我倆曾並肩佇立；是否會忘了為兄長年
A worshipper of Nature, hither came
崇信敬奉自然，曾來此處
Unwearied in that service: rather say
勤勤服侍也不厭倦；倒不如說：
With warmer love—oh! with far deeper zeal
以更熱忱的情懷服侍—噢！以更深邃的志向
Of holier love. Nor wilt thou then forget,
朝更神聖的情懷。你也不會忘卻，
That after many wanderings, many years
—歷經多少漂泊，暌違多少歲月之後—
Of absence, these steep woods and lofty cliffs,
那陡峭的樹林與高聳的懸崖，
And this green pastoral landscape, were to me
這片翠綠田野的山水，這些對為兄
More dear, both for themselves and for thy sake!
倍感珍惜，就因自然本身，也因為你啊！
