【汉译英欣赏】独是子夜荧荧,灯昏欲蕊;萧斋瑟瑟,案冷疑冰。集腋为裘,妄续幽冥之录;浮白载笔,仅成孤愤之书。寄托如此,亦足悲矣!嗟乎!惊霜寒雀,抱树无温;吊月秋虫,偎栏自热。知我者,其在青林黑塞间乎!
Midnight finds me
Here in this desolate studio
By the dim light
Of my flickering lamp,
Fashioning my tales
At this ice-cold table,
Vainly piecing together my sequel
To The Infernal Regions.
I drink to propel my pen,
But succeed only in venting
My spleen,
My lonely anguish.
Is it not a sad thing,
To find expression thus?
Alas! I am but
A bird
Trembling at the winter frost,
Vainly seeking shelter in the tree;
An insect
Crying at the autumn moon,
Feebly hugging the door for warmth.
Those who know me
Are in the green grove,
They are
At the dark frontier.

松悬弧时,先大人梦一病瘠瞿昙,偏袒入室, 药膏如钱,圆黏乳际。寤而松生,果符墨志。且也,少羸多病,长命不犹。门庭之凄寂,则冷淡如僧;笔墨之耕耘,则萧条似钵。每搔头自念:勿亦面壁人果是吾前身耶?盖有漏根因,未结人天之果;而随风荡堕,竟成藩溷之花。茫茫六道,何可谓无其理哉!独是子夜荧荧,灯昏欲蕊,萧斋瑟瑟,案冷疑冰,集腋为裘,妄续《幽冥》之录;浮白载笔,仅成孤愤之书。寄托如此,亦足悲矣!嗟乎!惊霜寒雀,抱树无温;吊月秋虫,偎阑自热。知我者,其在青林黑塞间乎!

惊霜寒雀,抱树无温;吊月秋虫,偎阑自热。
蒲松林的这段话我读来字字是血,可我庆幸的是,三年里我认识了很多值得认识的朋友,而不是于青林黑塞间寻知我者。
三战的经历被身边人无数次的问起,我也无意回避。他人眼里壮夫不为的童子雕虫篆刻,我却如此执着。
可能是因为本该存在于第一年的情绪在这三年之中消磨殆尽了吧,我也并没有想象中的那么激动,唯有一声长叹:戛戛乎难哉!
