鑽石舞台

Dylan Thomas 狄蘭 · 托馬斯 (1914 - 1953)

譯者：張崇殷

Do not go gentle into that good night,

不要溫柔地走進那段良夜，

Old age should burn and rave at close of the day;

老年應在落暮時分燃燒咆哮；

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥，怒斥這光明的消謝。

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

雖然智慧者臨終時懂得黑暗的正確，

Because their words had forked no lightning they,

因為他們的話已迸不出閃電來映照。

Do not go gentle into that good night.

不要溫柔地走進那段良夜。

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

善良的人，最後一浪過去，高呼多麼明烈

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

他們虛弱的善行，許曾在綠色海灣中舞蹈。

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥，怒斥這光明的消謝。

Wild men, who caught and sang the sun in flight,

飛翔的太陽，為狂亂的人們縛住並詠樂

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

懂得，可為時過晚，他們在途中為之傷悼，

Do not go gentle into that good night.

不要溫柔地走進那段良夜。

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

肅穆的人，瀕臨死亡。用他們回光的視覺，

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

看出失明的眼睛可以像流星般歡耀，

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥，怒斥這光明的消謝。

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

而您呵，我的父親，在那悲哀的天界，

Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

現以您的熱淚，詛咒我，護佑我吧，我祈禱。

Do not go gentle into that good night.

不要溫柔地走進那段良夜。

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥，怒斥這光明的消謝。
