泰戈尔的诗集《萤火虫》 一 My fancies are fireflies,—— specks of living light twinkling in the dark 我的想象是一群飞舞的萤火虫 涌动着赋有生机的火花 在黑夜里闪烁,跳跃 二 The voice of wayside pansies, that do not attract the careless glance , murmurs in these desultory lines. 紫罗兰的呢喃 没能吸引路人不经意的眼光 独自 在这零散的诗行间低语 三 In the drowsy dark caves of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan 在这困顿,阴郁 心灵的深处 梦 拎起烈日下行者遗落的碎片 铸造天堂 四 Spring scatters the petals of flowers that are not for the fruits of the furture, but for the moment's whim 在春天的撒下花瓣 不是为了秋的果实 而是为了这顷刻的异想 五 Joy freed from the bond of earth's slumber rushes into numberless leaves, and dances in the air for a day. 欢乐从大地的甜梦中得到释放 匆入密密的叶丛 凌空飞舞, 为这一日的欢乐 六 My words that are slight may lightly dance upon time's waves when my works heavy with import have gone down. 当我的诗行 在深重的思考中下沉时 我的细语 却在时光的曲波中曼舞 七 Mind's underground moths grow filmy wings and take a farewell flight in the sunset sky 心底的蛾虫 长出轻盈的翅膀 在布满晚霞的天空 作告别的飞翔 八 The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough 蝴蝶 刹那间的生命 却拥有了永远的美丽 九 My thoughts,like sparks,ride on winged surprises, carrying a single laughter. The tree gazes in love at its own beautiful shadow which yet it never can grasp. 我的思想如飞溅的火花, 在羽翼惊慌的振动中, 送出一个简单的笑容 树木渴恋地凝视着 自己美丽的倩影, 可是它只能这样永久地望着 十 Let my love,like sunlight,surround you and yet give you illumined freedom. 让我的爱时刻环绕着你 像太阳的光芒 带给你绚烂的自由 十一 Days are coloured bubbles that float upon the surface of fathomless night. 白天是五彩的气泡 飘浮在幽深难测的夜的表面之上 十二 My offerings are too timid to claim your remembrance,and therefore you may remember them. 我的给予是多么羞涩 不能渴求你的纪念 然而 你却去可以纪念它 十三 Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song. 如果这份礼物成为一种负担 那就忽略我的名字 留下我的欢歌 十四 April,like a child,writes hieroglyphs on dust with flowers,wipes them away and forgets. 四月像个孩童 拿着花瓣在尘埃上写下天真的符号 又擦去它们 转瞬便忘掉 十五 Memory,the priestess,kill the present and offers it heart to the shrine of the dead past. 记忆 这个女祭司 屠杀了现在 把它的心献给已死的 逝去的神坛 十六 From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watchs them play and forget the priest. 孩子们从寺庙庄严的幽暗处跑出 一屁股坐在尘土里 上帝发呆地望着他们嬉闹 忘记了寺庙里还有位方丈 十七 My mind starts up at some flash on the flow of its thoughts like a brook at a sudden liquid note of its own that is never repeated. 我的心在思想的的曲波里 因一闪的灵动而震颤 如一条小溪 因自己突然流淌的 不再重复的音符 而欢唱 十八 In the mountain,stillness surges up to explore its own height;in the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth. 远山 在静默里翻涌 寻览着自己的高度 湖泊 在水流的静止中 思量它自己的渊深 十九 The departing night's one kiss on the closed eyes of morning glows in the star of down. 将逝的夜 在拂晓闭着双睛的一吻 醉了的星顷刻闪出了光亮 二十 Maiden,thy beauty is like a fruit which is yet to mature,tense with an unyielding secret. 啊 少女 你的美丽 如一颗渐红的苹果 怀揣这无数的秘密 而羞涩 二十一 Sorrow that has lost its memory is like the dumb dark hours that have no bird songs but only the cricket's chirp. 失去记忆的哀伤 如忧郁沉默的光 没有了鸟儿的欢唱 只留下蟋蟀的唧唧之声 二十二 Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kill it. Wishing to hearten a timid lamp great night lights all her stars. 偏执 妄想永握真理 但它却将其在紧握的手心里淹没 愿希望鼓舞一盏羞涩的灯 让伟大的夜空点亮满天的星 二十三 Though he holds in his arms the earthbride, the sky is ever immensely away. 虽然天空把大地新娘拥在怀抱 但距离却总是那么遥远 二十四 God seeks comrades and claims love,the Devil seeks slaves and claims obedience. 魔鬼寻找奴隶要求服从 而上帝寻找伙伴要求爱 二十五 The soil in return for her service keeps the tree tied to her,the sky asks nothing and leaves it free. 土地紧紧抓住树木 作为她“哺育”的回报 天空并无所求 释放它 给其自由 二十六 Jewel like the immortal does not boast of its length of years but of the scintillating point of its moment.。
The Grasshopper and the Cricket John Keats
The poetry of earth is never dead.
When all the birds are faint with the hot sun
And hide in cooling trees,a voice will run
From hedge to hedge about the new?mown mead
That is the Grasshopper's. He takes the lead
In summer luxury;he has never done
With his delights,for when tired out with fun
He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.
The poetry of earth is ceasing never.
On a lone winter evening, when the frost
Has wrought a silence,from the stove there shrills
The cricket's song,in warmth increasing ever,
And seems to one in drowsiness half lost,
The grasshopper's among some grassy hills.
蝈蝈和蛐蛐 约翰.济慈
大地的诗歌从来不会死亡:
当所有的鸟儿因骄阳而昏晕,
隐藏在阴凉的林中,就有一种声音
在新割的草地周围的树篱上飘荡
那就是蝈蝈的乐音啊! 它争先
沉醉于盛夏的豪华,它从未感到
自己的喜悦消逝,一旦唱得疲劳了,
便舒适地栖息在可喜的草丛中间。
大地的诗歌呀,从来没有停息:
在寂寞的冬天夜晚,当严霜凝成
一片宁静,从炉边就弹起了
蛐蛐的歌儿,在逐渐升高的暖气,
昏昏欲睡中,人们感到那声音
仿佛就是蝈蝈在草茸茸的山上鸣叫。
Star Dance
星之舞
The stars have begun to show their faces.
星星悄悄探出了头
See how they twinkle merrily;
看,它们在开心地闪烁
Listen for their tinkly laughter
倾听它们的笑声
As they dance across the night sky.
当它们在夜空中漫舞时
月儿浅浅地笑
发出优雅的银色光芒
在下面黑色的深海中
寻找着它自己的倒影
英文诗歌 Love
Love
I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you.
No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won't make you cry.
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
Never frown,even when you are sad,because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.
Don't waste your time on a man/woman,who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally meet the person,we will know how to be grateful.
Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.
Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.
-------Sir Thomas Browne
译文:
爱情
我爱你,不是因为你是一个怎样的人,而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。
没有人值得你流泪,值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。
失去某人,最糟糕的莫过于,他近在身旁,却犹如远在天边。
纵然伤心,也不要悉眉不展,因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。
对于世界而言,你是一个人;但是对于某人,你是他的整个世界。
不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。
爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式爱你,那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。
不要着急,最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。在遇到梦中人之前,上天也许会安排我们先遇到别人;在我们终于遇见心仪的人时,便应当心存感激。
不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,为你的曾经拥有。
1. Thank you for comforting me when I'm sad Loving me when I'm mad Picking me up when I'm down Thank you for being my friend and being around Teaching me the meaning of love Encouraging me when I need a shove But most of all thank you for Loving me for who I am 感谢你在我伤心时安慰我, 当我生气时你护著我, 当我沮丧时你拉拔我。
感谢你作我的朋友并且在我身旁, 教导我爱的意义是什么, 当我需要动力时你鼓励我。 但我最想感谢你的是, 爱上像我这样的一个人。
2. Love is more than a word, it says so much. When I see these four letters, I almost feel your touch. This only happened since I fell in love with you. Why this word does this, I haven't got a clue. Love 不单是一个字, 它还代表了许多意涵, 当我看到这四个字母时, 我几乎能感受到你内心的感动。 但是这只发生在, 我爱上你之后, 为何这个字有如此的魔力, 我也搞不清楚。
3. Sweetheart, My thoughts are deep into you From the moment that I wake up And to the whole day through Happy Valentine's Day 亲爱的, 我深深地想念著你, 从我每天早上起来的那一刻起, 每一分每一秒直到一天结束。 情人节快乐! 4. Thank you for standing behind me In all that I do I hope you're as happy with me As I am with you 感谢你永远支持我, 不论我作了些什么, 我希望你跟我在一起永远开心, 就像我跟你在一起时那么地快乐。
5. If I could save time in a bottle the first thing that I'd like to do is to save every day until eternity passes away just to spend them with you if I could make days last forever if words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then again I would spend them with you 如果我能把时间存入一个瓶子, 我要作的第一件事就是, 把每一天都存下来直到永恒, 再和你一起慢慢度过。 如果我能把时间化作永恒, 如果我的愿望能一一成真, 我会把每天都像宝贝一样存起来, 再和你一起慢慢度过。
6. To sweetheart or friend, words can mean much. Valentine heart to heart, conveys a loving touch. 给我的爱人或是朋友, 一句话可以代表许多意思, 让我们传递著情人节的讯息, 也传发送爱的感觉。 7. You're always there for me When things tend to go wrong It's that faith you have in me That makes our love strong 当我需要你时你永远在那里, 就算是我犯了错误也没关系, 是你对我坚定的信心, 让我们的爱更加茁壮。

Poetry is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns or lyrics.
Poetry, and discussions of it, have a long history. Early attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from prose. From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more loosely defined as a fundamental creative act using language.
Poetry often uses particular forms and conventions to suggest alternative meanings in the words, or to evoke emotional or sensual responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, metaphor, simile and metonymy create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.
英语诗歌:青春的飞逝 The Flight of Youth There are gains for all our losses. 我们失去的一切都能得到补偿, There are balms for all our pain; 我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰; But when youth,the dream,departs 可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝, It takes something from our hearts, 它带走了我们心中的某种美好, And it never comes again. 从此一去不复返。
We are stronger, and are better, 我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美, Under manhood's sterner reign; 在严峻的成年生活驱使下; Still we feel that something sweet 可是依然感到甜美的情感, Following youth, with flying feet, 已随着青春飞逝, And will never come again. 不再返回。 Something beautiful is vanished, 美好已经消逝, And we sigh for it in vain; 我们枉自为此叹息; We behold it everywhere, 尽管在天地之间, On the earth, and in the air, 我们处处能见青春的魅力, But it never comes again! 可是它不再返回! e and meet you and will never mind the distance,
直至长风沙All the way to Chang-feng Sha.
In the same valley,
Still forgotten wild lilies bloom again
when the spring comes again.
At the place where grassed ferns
Still remains the old fragrance.
However,
Nobody nobody would remeber us
and we have had the sadness and pleasure,
furthermore,
times gets further away,
finally,
merely remains a few anonymous poems
with a light setting sun.
