【班門弄斧、越俎代庖】系列一百二十二 余光中 《等你，在雨中》 試譯

 《等你，在雨中》余光中
·
·
等你，在雨中，在造虹的雨中　
蟬聲沉落，蛙聲昇起　
一池的紅蓮如紅焰，在雨中　
你來不來都一樣，竟感覺　
每朵蓮都像你　
尤其隔著黃昏，隔著這樣的細雨
·
永恆，剎那，剎那，永恆　
等你，在時間之外　
在時間之內，等你，在剎那，在永恆
·
如果你的手在我的手裡，此刻　
如果你的清芬　
在我的鼻孔，我會說，小情人
·
諾，這隻手應該採蓮，在吳宮
這隻手應該
搖一柄桂槳，在木蘭舟中
·
一顆星懸在科學館的飛簷　
耳墜子一般地懸著　
瑞士錶都說七點了。
·
忽然你走來　
步雨後的紅蓮，翩翩，你走來　
像一首小令　
從一則愛情的典故裡你走來
·
從姜白石的詞裡，有韻地，你走來
·

《Waiting for You，In the Rain》
.
.
Waiting for you, in the rain, in the rainbow-fermenting rain
sinks the cicadas' chirping, rises the frogs' croaking
a pool of red loti like scarlet flames , in the rain
it's just the same whether you come or not, surprisingly I feel
every lotus looks like you a lot
especially behind the evening , behind such a drizzly rain
.
Eternity , a moment, a moment , eternity
waiting for you, without time
within time, waiting for you, in a moment, in eternity
.　
If your hand is in mine, at the moment
If your fragrance
is in my nostrils, I'd say, little lover
.
Oh, this hand should pick loti, in the Wu Palace
this hand should
row a cinnamon oar, in a magnolia boat
.
On the eave of the Science Centre hangs a star
hanging like a pendant on the ear
it's already seven o'clock, tells the Swiss watch
.
Here you come all of a sudden
stepping along the red loti after the rain, tripplingly, you come
Like a rhyme
from a classic love fable you come
.
From the songs by Jiang Baishi, rhymingly , you come
.
