【汉译英欣赏】于右任《望大陆》
葬我于高山之上兮，望我大陆；
大陆不可见兮，只有痛哭。
Bury me on top a mountain; let me look towards our mainland;
Unable to see our mainland, I can only weep.
葬我于高山之上兮，望我故乡；
故乡不可见兮，永不能忘。
Bury me on top a mountain; let me look towards my native place;
Unable to see my native place, which I can never forget.
天苍苍，野茫茫；
山之上，国有殇。
Hazy are the mountains, and bleak the wilderness.
From the top of the mountain, I see our country in grief.
——裘克安 英译

TUNE: SPRING IN JADE PAVILION
SPRING GRIEF
Farewell Pavilion green with grass and willow trees!
How could my gallant young lord have left me with ease!
I'm woke by midnight bell from dun dream in my bower;
Parting grief won't part with flowers falling in shower.
 
My beloved feels not the grief my loving heart sheds;
Each string as woven with thousnads of painful threads.
However far and wide the sky and earth may be,
They can't measure the lovesickness o'erwhelming me.

“There will be days where you will feel seemingly okay and then be engulfed by a helpless wave of grief the very next. Sometimes you just need to sit in all that grief and sadness and anguish and allow it to wash over you.

I won’t say that it’s easy. It still hurts like hell.”
