Purkey 博主:要舞得仿佛无人围观, 爱得有如不受伤害, 唱得恍若无人旁听,活得如在人间天堂。 注: 本例取自2013年8月18日早报双语录。我也聊献一译,权当练笔。林老师原译文为: “跳舞就要像没人在一旁看着般起舞;爱就要像未曾受伤般去爱;歌唱就要像没人在旁聆听般高歌; 活着就要像人生只此一次,死后不会有天堂。” Lake of Autumn Posted on September 28, 2012 by minami2011 原文:Lake of Autumn I remember quite clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, and the sun would dare to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said: Our story is ending. The rain was killing the last days of summer, you had been killing my last breath of love since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending. 博主:秋湖 那是什么时候的事,我依然清楚记得。当时秋叶徐飘,落到地面湖中。那湖曾有大把阳光洒落,而我们则常如孩童般在湖里嬉水游泳。那段时光,我俩曾很幸福,至少我那么认为。但其实你早已萌生去意,只是不敢明说罢了。在那弥足珍贵的夜晚,我俩凝望湖水。我在心神恍惚中听见你说:我俩就到此为止吧。 夏末竟下起雨来,扼杀了仅存的几个夏日,而好久以前,你就开始扼杀我仅存的爱意了。时至今天,我还是觉得我没法再爱上谁,因为你把我的爱都掳走了,一点不剩。我就这样孤立湖边,心里早明白落下的那人肯定是我。可我还在凝望湖水,朦胧之中,我心知我的一生已经走到了尽头。 众人皆醉 Posted on July 29, 2013 by [email protected] 原文: Don’t be afraid to stand for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone. 博主:即便众人皆醉你独醒,也要醒着,别怕。 固执人生 Posted on August 25, 2013 by [email protected] 原文: Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.——Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower 博主:世事变迁,亲友远离,但人生依然固执前行,不为你我稍作停留。 注: 本例取自2013年8月25日早报双语录。我也聊献一译,权当练笔。林老师原译文为: “物换星移,朋友离去。人生不会为任何人而停滞。” 我行我素 Posted on August 18, 2013 by [email protected] 原文: Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.——Bernard M. Baruch 博主:我行我素,畅所欲言。因为介意直率言行者,你不会在乎。你在乎者,不会介意直率言行。 注: 本例取自2013年8月18日早报双语录。我也聊献一译,权当练笔。林老师原译文为: “做你自己,说你心里的话。你无需去在乎介怀的人,你应该在乎的人是不会介意的。” 静思内省 Posted on July 27, 2013 by [email protected] 原文: Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from. 博主:要学会静思内省,了悟世间万物皆其来有自,没所谓阴差阳错;明白诸般人事乃天賜机缘,就要你经受学习。 殆势 Posted on June 30, 2013 by minami2011 原文: It makes me feel guilty that anybody should have such a good time doing what they are supposed to do. 博主:干本来就该干的活,居然还很开心,我真该死。 注:本例取自2013年6月30日早报双语录。我也聊献一译,权当练笔。林老师原译文为: “我很享受每一个创造的过程,一个人居然能够如此享受工作,说到我自己都感到愧疚了。 所谓名人 Posted on May 26, 2013 by minami2011 原文:A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.- Fred Allen (1894 – 1956) 博主:一辈子拼死拼活,就为了博得人人都识君,待到无人不识君了,却往往墨镜一副,怕被人认出 眼界•格局 Posted on May 24, 2013 by minami2011 原文:When a man is wrapped up in himself, he makes a pretty small package. -John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) 博主:眼中若只容得下自己,那这眼界也未免太小了。 任务清单 Posted on May 7, 2013 by minami2011 今日任务清单 知足感恩 行善助人 放开放下 静思聆听 从容,真办事 呼吸,不乱想 有成无成 Posted on April 28, 2013 by minami2011 原文:I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.— George Burns 博主:宁做醉心事而无所成,也不干窝囊事而有所成。 注:网友发来微博翻译。据说李开复译文为: 宁愿失败地做你爱做的事情,也不要成功地做你恨做的事情。 多看开,常宽恕,长记取 Posted on February 26, 2013 by minami2011 原文:Life is short, even for those who live a long time, and we must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd, lively or sad, loyal or corrupt, from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant, which leave no trace behind them. We ought to hate very rarely, as it is too fatiguing; remain indifferent to a great deal, forgive often and never forget. ~ Sarah Bernhardt 博主: 你我就是活得再长寿,人生还是短。有些人了解并珍惜我们,批评却宽恕我们,而我们也爱他们,宠他们。虽然这样的人不多,但我们要为他们而活。其他人等,高兴也好,悲伤也好,信守承诺也好,腐败堕落也好,都只是匆匆过客。对过客,我们仅有短暂喜恶,水过无痕,别无所求。怨恨累人,所以别怨;要多看开,常宽恕,长记取。 From Atonement Posted on January 25, 2013 by minami2011 原文:Not everything had a cause, and pretending otherwise was an interference in the workings of the world that was futile, and could even lead to grief. – from Atonement 博主:世间诸事,未必都事出有因。明知如此,却以凡事有果必有因自欺,对原已徒劳之世间运转而言,轻则干扰,重则生悲。 注:友人发来郭国良老师原译:并不是所有事情都有原因的。如果硬要反其道而行,那只能是对这个庸碌世界自行运转的一种干涉,甚至还有可能带来不幸。 非常功 Posted on August 31, 2011 by minami2011 原文:If you want something you’ve never had, then you’ve got to do something you’ve never Done. 博主:欲成非常事,须下非常功。 克服万难者,唯爱而已 Posted on August 27, 2011 by minami2011 原文:We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction. We have heeded no wisdom offering guidance. Only by learning to love one another can our world be saved. Only love can conquer all.~Dora Russell~ 博主:谁都不想世界趋向毁灭,但漫漫年月里,上下求索中,我们竟把心交托给冰冷、爱恶不分的理性知识,这只会把我们推向灭亡。我们未曾留意指路明灯——人间有情,世界有望。克服万难者,唯爱而已。 变化无常,人生必然 Posted on August 27, 2011 by minami2011 原文:I don’t know what God is, or what God had in mind when the universe was set in motion. In fact, I don’t know if God even exists, although I confess that I sometimes find myself praying in times of great fear, or despair, or astonishment at a display of unexpected beauty. There are some ten thousand religious sects — each with its own cosmology, each with its own answer for the meaning of life and death. Most assert that the other 9,999 not only have it completely wrong but are instruments of evil, besides. None of the ten thousand has yet persuaded me to make the requisite leap of faith. In the absence of conviction, I’ve come to terms with the fact that uncertainty is an inescapable corollary of life. 博主:上帝为何物,余不知。衪启混沌宇宙所为何来,亦不得而知。于大惧大悲之际,于惊叹大美之时,余虽时而默祷静祈,然神之有无,实无把握。世有教派千万,于宇宙生死各有所持,彼此间则以谬论邪说互斥。余未能服膺于各教教义,暂无所依,却常感变化无常,人生必然。 为善作恶皆由人 Posted on September 19, 2011 by minami2011 原文:As is so often pointed out, knowledge is a two-edged weapon which can be used equally for good or evil. 博主:世人常言,学问如剑双锋利,为善作恶皆由人。 蜂无言,花不语,海敛声,地唯静 Posted on September 15, 2011 by minami2011 原文:It was a day as fresh as grass growing up and clouds going over and butterflies coming down can make it. It was a day compounded from silences of bee and flower and ocean and land, which were not silences at all, but motions, stirs, flutters, risings, fallings, each in its own time and matchless rhythm. 博主:那日,绿草萋,白云飘,彩蝶舞,日子如斯纯净;那天,蜂无言,花不语,海敛声,地唯静,日子这般沉寂。然而这并不意味着四周悄无声息,万物或动或挪、或抖或拍、或起或落,各适其时,各依其律。 无他,一笑耳 Posted on September 12, 2011 by minami2011 原文:Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. 博主:勿重容颜,容颜欺人;勿重财富,财富易散;重博君一笑者。盖能拨云见日者,无他,一笑耳。 时间推移,无以界划 Posted on September 10, 2011 by minami2011 原文:Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols. 博主:时间推移,无以界划。无论是月初年始,天地从不招来风雨雷暴,也不发出震天号角,以资标记。即便是世纪交替之际,敲钟呜枪的,也只有我们这些凡夫俗子。 文人作画 Posted on September 9, 2011 by minami2011 The quality called loftiness in literati painting theory refers to a perfectly balanced emotional distance, an art achieved through suggestion and not domination; implication and not explication. The artist reveals himself intuitively, but this self, however eccentric or individualistic, is rarely primal, raw, or messy, but instead is the result of conscious cultivation of character and knowledge. The ability to sail effortlessly through the administration of mundane, if important, affairs, showing the world only the cool essence of one’s personality, is a fundamental part of the scholar-official’s cultivation and survives in the literati aesthetic. 文人作画重意境,情感余白须恰到好处。其拿捏之道在引而不发,含而不露。彼等常兴之所至,写情写性。然纵有惊世骇俗、特立独行之举,却断无粗卑低俗、漫无章法之作。反之,文人之任意挥洒,实乃其苦心孤诣,修身勤学之功。于内对繁琐要事游刃有余,于外则展露自身风骨,此原为入仕文人安身立命之本,却也在文人美学中占有一席之地。 一代奇才陨落 Posted on October 7, 2011 by minami2011 原文:Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius,and the world has lost an amazing human being.Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor.Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built,and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. 博主:史蒂夫生前目光深远,匠心独运,如今斯人已逝,Apple痛失一代奇才,人间痛失一流人物, 我们这些有幸认识乔布斯先生者,有幸与其共事者则痛失可贵挚友、精神良师。史蒂夫留下了只有他这般人物才打造得出的公司,其精神将成为Apple不朽的基石。 注:一代奇才陨落,世人无不扼腕叹息。Apple公司发的公文,中港台均有中文版本,我也来个新加坡的非官方版本,以示同哀。 高度与深度 Posted on October 2, 2011 by minami2011 原文:To reach a great height a person needs to have great depth. 博主一:人生欲求骄人高度,内涵须有傲人深度。 博主二:成就若要大, 修养先得好。 注:早报周刊≪语文天空≫版 (2011年10月2日) 刊有林方伟先生的译文, 我觉得有意思, 也来凑趣。 林先生原译为: 要攀上最高点, 先从自己的深度做起。 爱的化身 Posted on November 30, 2011 by minami2011 原文:For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love. ― Patti Smith 博主:因为生命为世间美之极致,如果还要生而有所信,那供奉明灯一盏即可。所谓明灯者,就是海天明日、儿女事业、良朋益友。简而言之,就是爱的化身。 苦痛如烟 Posted on November 29, 2011 by minami2011 原文:“痛苦与悲伤只是过眼云烟,只有欢乐才是永恒。” 这才是生命的真谛,也是贝多芬在尝尽人生苦难后获得的最终的人生感悟。这一刻,那个身在垂死病中,但仍然勇敢地歌唱生命、歌唱欢乐的他,已经成为了全人类心目中的“英雄。 博主日语版: 「悲しみも苦しみもあっという間に過ぎ去った雲や煙に過ぎないけれど、永遠になるのは喜びしかないのである。」これだけは、命の本質だとやっと悟ったのは、色々と苦難を経験したベートーベンであった。病気で瀕死になった時も、ベートーベンは、また命のと喜びのことを立派に歌っていた。あの時、人間は誰であっても 彼のことを英雄だと思った。 博主英语版: “Pains and sorrow are but fleeting clouds, and eternity can be found only in happiness.” Such is the essence of life that Beethoven had come to realize after experincing a myriad of sufferings in his own life. On his death bed, Beethoven sang on gallantly in praise of life and happiness. At that very moment, he became the hero in the eyes of the entire mankind. 注:日语非我惯用语,偶一为之,终觉勉强。 无憾人生 Posted on November 16, 2011 by minami2011 原文:Live with no regrets and love with no apologies. 博主:活得无憾,爱得无悔。 感恩•忘怀 Posted on November 15, 2011 by minami2011 原文:Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one’s who don’t 博主:人生苦短,慎勿遗恨。善待你者,心怀感恩,亏待你者,转身忘怀。 Life is too ironic Posted on November 11, 2011 by minami2011 原文:Life is too ironic. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence. 博主:未经悲哀,不知幸福,周遭喧闹,方知静好,伊人已去,才懂心疼。所谓人生,不过如此百般嘲弄。
