The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufro ck
T.S.Eliot
1.S’iocredes se che mia rispos ta fosse
2. A person a che mai tornas se al mondo,
3.Questa fiamma staria senzapiu scosse.
4.Ma percio cchegiamma i di questo fondo
索尼机芯5.Non tornovivo alcun,s’i’odoilv ero,
6.Senzatemad’infami a ti rispon do.
7.Let us go then, you and I,
8.When the evenin g is spread out agains t the sky
9.Like a patien t etheri zed upon a table;
10.Let us go, throug h certai n half-desert ed street s,
11.The mutter ing retrea ts
12.Of restle ss nights in one-nightcheaphotels
13.And sawdus t restau rants with oyster-shells:
14.Street s that follow like a tediou s argume nt
15.Of insidi ous intent
16.To lead you to an overwh elmin g questi on ...
17.Oh,donotask,“Whatisit?“
18.Let us go and make our visit.
19.In the room the womencome and go
20.Talkin g of Michel angel o.
21.The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
22.The yellow smokethat rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
23.Licked its tongue into the corner s of the evenin g,
24.Linger ed upon the poolsthat standin drains,
25.Let fall upon its back the soot that fallsfrom chimne ys,
26.Slippe d by the terrac e, made a sudden leap,
27.And seeing that it was a soft Octobe r night,
28.Curled once aboutthe house, and fell asleep.
29.And indeed therewill be time
30.For the yellow smokethat slides alongthe street,
31.Rubbin g its back upon the window-panes;
32.Therewill be time, therewill be time
33.To prepar e a face to meet the facesthat you meet;
34.Therewill be time to murder and create,
35.And time for all the worksand days of hands
36.That lift and drop a questi on on your plate;
37.Time for you and time for me,
38.And time yet for a hundre d indeci sions,
39.And for a hundre d vision s and revisi ons,
40.Before the taking of a toastand tea.
41.In the room the womencome and go
42.Talkin g of Michel angel o.
43.And indeed therewill be time
44.To wonder,“DoIdare?“and,“DoIdare?“
45.Time to turn back and descen d the stair,
46.With a bald spot in the middle of my hair--
47.(Theywillsay:“Howhishair is growin gthin!“)
48.My mornin g coat, my collar mounti ng firmly to the chin,
49.My neckti e rich and modest, but assert ed by a simple pin--
50.(Theywillsay:“Buthowhisarmsandlegsarethin!“)
51.Do I dare
52.Distur b the univer se?
53.In a minute thereis time
54.For decisi ons and revisi ons whicha minute will revers e.
55.For I have knownthem all alread y, knownthem all:
56.Have knownthe evenin gs, mornin gs, aftern oons,
57.I have measur ed out my life with coffee spoons;
58.I know the voices dyingwith a dyingfall
59.Beneat h the musicfrom a farthe r room.
60.So how should I presum e?
61.And I have knownthe eyes alread y, knownthem all--
62.The eyes that fix you in a formul atedphrase,
63.And when I am formul ated, sprawl ing on a pin,
64.When I am pinned and wriggl ing on the wall,金瓶梅鉴赏辞典
65.Then how should I begin
66.To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
67.And how should I presum e?
68.And I have knownthe arms alread y, knownthem all--
69.Arms that are bracel etedand whiteand bare
70.(But in the lampli ght, downed with lightbrownhair!)
cnsv71.Is it perfum e from a dress
72.That makesme so digres s?
73.Arms that lie alonga table, or wrap abouta shawl.
74.And should I then presum e?
75.And how should I begin?
76.ShallI say, I have gone at dusk throug h narrow street s
77.And watche d the smokethat risesfrom the pipes
78.Of lonely men in shirt-sleeve s, leanin g out of window s? ...
79.I should have been a pair of ragged claws
80.Scuttl ing across the floors of silent seas.
81.And the aftern oon, the evenin g, sleeps so peacef ully!
82.Smooth ed by long finger s,
83.Asleep ... tired... or it maling ers,gb1589
84.Stretc hed on the floor, here beside you and me.
85.Should I, aftertea and cakesand ices,
86.Have the streng th to forcethe moment to its crisis?
87.But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
88.Though I have seen my head (grownslight ly bald) brough t in upon a platte r,
89.I am no prophe t--and here抯no greatmatter;
90.I have seen the moment of my greatn ess flicke r,
91.And I have seen the eterna l Footma n hold my coat, and snicke r,
92.And in short, I was afraid.
93.And wouldit have been worthit, afterall,
94.Afterthe cups, the marmal ade, the tea,
95.Amongthe porcel ain, amongsome talk of you and me,
96.Wouldit have been worthwhile,
97.To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
98.To have squeez ed the univer se into a ball
99.To roll it toward some overwh elmin g questi on,
100.To say: “IamLazaru s, come from the dead,
101.Come back to tell you all, I shalltellyouall“--
102.If one, settli ng a pillow by her head,**
103.Should say: “ThatisnotwhatImeantat all;
104.Thatisnotit,atall.“
105.And wouldit have been worthit, afterall,
106.Wouldit have been worthwhile,
107.Afterthe sunset s and the doorya rds and the sprink led street s,
108.Afterthe novels, afterthe teacup s, afterthe skirts that trailalongthe floor-- 109.And this, and so much more?--
110.It is imposs ibleto say just what I mean I
111.But as if a magiclanter n threwthe nerves in patter ns on a screen:
112.Wouldit have been worthwhile
113.If one, settli ng a pillow or throwi ng off a shawl,
114.And turnin g toward the window, should say:
115.“Thatisnotitatall,
116.That is not what I meant,atall.“
117.No I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meantto be;
118.Am an attend ant lord, one that will do
119.To swella progre ss, starta sceneor two,
120.Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
121.Defere ntial, glad to be of use,
122.Politi c, cautio us, and meticu lous;
金山网镖6123.Full of high senten ce, but a bit obtuse;
124.At times, indeed, almost ridicu lous--
125.Almost, at times, the Fool.
126.I grow old ... I grow old ...
127.I shallwear the bottom s of my trouse rs rolled.
128.ShallI part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? 129.I shallwear whiteflanne l trouse rs, and walk upon the beach. 130.I have heardthe mermai ds singin g, each to each.
131.I do not thinkthat they will sing to me.
132.I have seen them riding seawar d on the waves
133.Combin g the whitehair of the wavesblownback
134.When the wind blowsthe waterwhiteand black.
135.We have linger ed in the chambe rs of the sea
136.By sea-girlswreath ed with seawee d red and brown
137.Till humanvoices wake us, and we drown.
J·阿尔弗瑞德·普鲁弗洛克的情歌查良铮译
1.假如我认为，我是回答
2.一个能转回阳世间的人，
3.那么，这火焰就不会再摇闪。
4.但既然，如我听到的果真
6.我回答你就不必害怕流言。
7.那么我们走吧，你我两个人，
8.正当朝天空慢慢铺展着黄昏
女奴
9.好似病人麻醉在手术桌上；
10.我们走吧，穿过一些半清冷的街，
12.有夜夜不宁的下等歇夜旅店
14.街连着街，好象一场讨厌的争议
15.带着阴险的意图
16.要把你引向一个重大的问题……
17.唉，不要问，“那是什么？”
18.让我们快点去作客。
19.在客厅里女士们来回地走，
20.谈着画家米开朗基罗。
21.黄的雾在窗玻璃上擦着它的背，
22.黄的烟在窗玻璃上擦着它的嘴，
23.把它的舌头舐进黄昏的角落，
25.让跌下烟囱的烟灰落上它的背，
26.它溜下台阶，忽地纵身跳跃，
27.看到这是一个温柔的十月的夜，
28.于是便在房子附近蜷伏起来安睡。
30.看黄的烟沿着街滑行，
31.在窗玻璃上擦着它的背；
32.总会有时间，总会有时间
33.装一副面容去会见你去见的脸；
34.总会有时间去暗杀和创新，
