荷塘月色
Moonlight over the Lotus Pond
Zhu Ziqing
這幾天心里頗不寧睜。今晚在院子里坐著乘涼,忽然想起日日走過的荷塘,在這滿月的光里,總該另有一番樣子吧。月亮漸漸地升高了,墻外馬路上孩子們的歡笑,已經(jīng)聽不見了;妻在屋里拍著閏兒,迷迷糊糊地哼著眠歌。我悄悄地披了大衫,帶上門出去。
It has been rather disquieting these days. Tonight, when I was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool, it occurred to me that the Lotus Pond, which I pass by every day, must assume quite a different look in such moonlit night. A full moon was rising high in the sky; the laughter of children playing outside had died away; in the morn, my wife was patting the son, Run-er, sleepily humming a cradle song. Shrugging on an overcoat, quietly, 1 made my way out, closing the door behind me.
沿著荷塘.是一條曲折的小煤屑路。這是一條幽僻的路;白天也少人走,夜晚更加寂寞。荷塘四面,長著許多樹,翁翁郁郁的。路的一旁,是些楊柳,和一些不知道名字的樹。沒有月光的晚上,這路上陰森森的,有些怕人。今晚卻很好,雖然月光也還是淡淡的。
Alongside the Lotus Pond nuns a small cinder footpath. It is peaceful and secluded here, a place not frequented by pedestrians even in the daytime; now at night, it looks mare solitary, in a lush, shady ambience of trees all around the pond. On the side where the path is, there are willows, interlaced with some others whose names I do not know. The foliage, which, in a moonless night, would loom somewhat frighteningly dark, looks very nice tonight, although the moonlight is not more than a thin, grayish veil.
路上只我一個人,背著手踱著。這一片天地好像是我的;我也像超出了平常的自己,到了另一世界里。我愛熱鬧,也愛冷靜;愛群居,也愛獨處。像今晚上,一個人在這蒼茫的月下,什么都可以想,什么都可以不想,便覺是個自由的人。白天里一定要做的事,一定要說的話,現(xiàn)在都可不理。這是獨處的妙處;我且受用這無邊的荷香月色好了。
