To A Husband Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ To A Husband

☆ Poetry by Anne Kingsmill Finch


The much loved husband of a happy wife;
To him whose constant passion found the art
To win a stubborn and ungrateful heart,
And to the world by tenderest proof discovers
They err, who say that husbands can't be lovers.
With such return of passion, as is due,
Daphnis I love, Daphinis my thoughts pursue;
Daphnis, my hopes and joys are bounded all in you.
Even I, for Daphnis' and my promise' sake,
What I in woman censure, undertake.
But this from love, not vanity proceeds;
You know who writes, and I who 'tis that reads.
Judge not my passion by my want of skill:
Many love well, though they express it ill;
And I your censure could with pleasure bear,
Would you but soon return, and speak it here.

★ 敬一个丈夫

☆ [英国] 安妮•金斯米尔•芬奇 (1661-1720) 诗
☆ [中国] 罗志海 (1954-) 译


幸福的妻子如此深爱丈夫
鼓励他不断发现艺术的激情
去赢得一颗倔强讨厌的心
用最温柔的发现，向世界证明
他们错误认为，丈夫不可能是恋人
不可能回报这样的激情
达佛涅斯，我的爱，达佛涅斯，我的追求我的梦
达佛涅斯，我的希望和快乐，被你绑得紧紧
就连我，为了达佛涅斯，我保证
我在女人的责难中答应
这来自爱情，不是来自虚荣的收获
你知道这是谁写的，我只不过是原话照说
判断不是我要的技能，我的激情
大爱好极了，虽然他们表达有毛病
我可以愉快地承受你的指责
但你会很快回来，在这里诉说


注：达佛涅斯，希腊牧神，被认为是田园诗歌的创始者。
