《西罗普郡一少年》

XXII

第二十二首

街上传来士兵行进的声响

The Street Sounds to the Soldiers' Tread

 

英国   A. E. 豪斯曼原著

Alfred Edward Housman (1859 – 1936)

徐家祯翻译

 

The street sounds to the soldiers' tread,

      And out we troop to see:

A single redcoat turns his head,

      He turns and looks at me.

 

My man, from sky to sky's so far,

      We never crossed before;

Such leagues apart the world's ends are,

      We're like to meet no more.

 

What thoughts at heart have you and I

      We cannot stop to tell;

But dead or living, drunk or dry,

      Soldier, I wish you well.

如果解读成为即将上前线的士兵送行,就会多出一份哀伤

谢谢木兄补充!我在翻译时只感到是一队路过的士兵而已,没有感到是上前线的战士。但这种可能性完全存在。
