这俩天没怎么上网,论坛新增了好些作品呀
我也来发布下这两天的习作,请大家指正哦~~
选自A Child's Garden of Verses\一个孩子的诗园
这诗集我两年前就有翻译了,当时只翻译了十来首,就没翻译下去了~~
这诗集论坛上有~~漪然姐译的,翻译的真好~~

题外话:还有昨晚我听了家常读书—点亮黑暗系列朗读的秘密花园,那版本也翻译的真好~以前我看过两个版本都没它好。尤其读起来更觉得出它的好呀~~就不知是谁翻译的~~

好孩子,坏孩子
(原文有押韵,翻译不出来,干脆放开来翻译好玩点·~)

快人快语版

孩子,孩子,你还太小,
身骨子太弱;
要想长高长壮,
你得走路端正。
机灵点,安静下来,
吃饭别挑食,
要经得起各种诱惑,
做个天真纯朴的好孩子。
心要快乐,脸要笑,
到草地上快活去吧!
做到这些,在古代,
你就能成为国王和智者了。

而那些粗鲁任性的野孩子,
只知道吃吃吃,
他们没指望得到这样的荣誉。
行为颠倒!
野蛮又无礼,
只会哭鼻子,
长大后,不是傻蛋就是莽汉,
到老来,还要被侄子侄女们骂,
老不死的。

语重心长版

孩子呀,你还那么小,
你的身骨子太弱了;
你要想长大后高高壮壮的,
你走路的样子就得端正点。
你要一直机灵呀,还得保持住安静,
吃饭别挑三拣四的,大人给你什么就吃什么。
要经得起各种诱惑哦,别老争零食和玩具了,
总之,要做个天真无邪 诚实纯朴的好孩子。
不仅心要快乐呀,还得把快乐表现在脸上,让大人看着舒服。
现在,到草地上快快活活地游戏去吧!让大人省心点!
你知道吗,在古代,
这样的好孩子是能当国王和智者的。

千万别像那些粗鲁任性的孩子那样
只顾着吃饱喝足,其他啥也不会。
他们这辈子也别指望得到这种荣誉。
他们行为颠倒,完全就是个反面教材!
他们是些野蛮无礼的坏孩子,
是群只会哭鼻子的小屁孩,
长大后,一个个都成了傻蛋和莽汉,
老了之后,侄子侄女们恨透他们了,
一个个都躲在身后骂他们老不死的。

Good and Bad Children
by Robert Louis Stevenson

Children, you are very little,
And your bones are very brittle;
If you would grow great and stately,
You must try to walk sedately.
You must still be bright and quiet,
And content with simple diet;
And remain, through all bewild'ring,
Innocent and honest children.
Happy hearts and happy faces,
Happy play in grassy places--
That was how in ancient ages,
Children grew to kings and sages.

But the unkind and the unruly,
And the sort who eat unduly,
They must never hope for glory--
Theirs is quite a different story!
Cruel children, crying babies,
All grow up as geese and gabies【1】,
Hated, as their age increases,
By their nephews and their nieces.

【1】geese本义鹅 作骂人语时,指笨蛋和傻瓜(尤指女性)。
        gabies本义墙  这里应是作骂人语 ,谕指男人粗莽少文。

戒律

每个晚上 我得做祈祷,
每天的晚饭 才能吃到;
每个白天 我得表现的好,
饭后的橘子 才能得到 。

一个小孩  邋里邋遢,
还玩着玩具 吃着饭,
我敢保证,他就是个小捣蛋!
要不,就是他那老爸
太不懂得教管。

SYSTEM

EVERY NIGHT my prayers I say,
And get my dinner every day;
And every day that I've been good,
I get an orange after food.

The child that is not clean and neat,
With lots of toys and things to eat,
He is a naughty child, I'm sure-
Or else his dear papa is poor.

一个好孩子

我醒来时天还没亮 ,我快活了整整一天,
我不说一句脏话,只是开心地玩耍。

待如今太阳隐没树林后,
我真为自己的表现叫好。

我的被窝虽冷但清新,我的床单平整又柔滑,
它们都在等我入眠,但我没忘睡前祈祷。

祈愿明晨太阳升起之前,
噩梦莫扰我神,陋景莫污我眼。

睡神将我紧拥,我一觉睡至天明。
闻听窗外鸟声鸣啭  紫丁香丛中  
画眉鸟正歌唱黎明。

A GOOD  BOY

I WOKE before the morning,I was happy all the day,
I never said an ugly word, but smiled and stuck to play.

And now at last the sun is going down behind  the wood,
And I am very happy,for I know that I've been good.

My bed is waiting cool and fresh, with linen smooth and fair,
And I must be off to sleepsin-by, and not forget my prayer.

I know that, till tomrrow when I see the sun arise,
No ugly dream shall fright my mindm, no ugly sight my eyes,

But slumber hold me tightly till I waken in the dawn,
And hear the thrushes singing in the lilacs round the lawn.

睡觉时开溜

客厅和厨房的灯光,
跃出了帘子、栅栏和小窗。
高高的天穹笼盖四野,
亿万颗星夜空中运转。
树上的繁叶没那么密,
教堂的人群没那么挤。

暗夜的星,亮晶晶,
眨着眼睛,向我问好。
哦! 天狼,北斗,猎户,众星斗艳,
连火星,水手的指航星也闪亮登场,
天空上演着瑰丽的景象,
墙角水桶里也浮现出小小的奇观,
一半是水,一半是星,
星光水影辉映,煞是耀眼。

哎呀,被发现了,
他们叫嚷着把我抓住。
我被塞进了被窝;
可眼帘里,荣光仍不断闪耀,清晰显现,
而脑海中,群星仍不停旋转,将我萦绕。

Escape at Bedtime
by Robert Louis Stevenson

The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out
       Through the blinds and the windows and bars;
And high overhead and all moving about,
       There were thousands of millions of stars.
There ne'er were such thousands of leaves on a tree,
       Nor of people in church or the Park,
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me,
       And that glittered and winked in the dark.

The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
       And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
These shown in the sky, and the pail by the wall
       Would be half full of water and stars.
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries,
       And they soon had me packed into bed;
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes,
       And the stars going round in my head.

快乐的点子

别发愁,世界物品万万千,应有尽有,
我保证,我们每人的快乐,就像国王。

Happy Thought

The world is so full of a number of things,
                 I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.

这个,提点意见,意象是很美的,但并不怎么像给孩子读的诗歌,倒更是像中国的现代诗歌。既然原诗有韵,是不是还是尽量押韵呢?原诗诗行都是很规整的,译诗还是尽量靠拢为好吧

#3 囡囡妈 2010-10-25

恩,诗歌翻译确实不容易,再多读读原文,体会一下哈,,两句一韵,多美啊,读起来多顺口啊!

你可以考虑一首首发,和大家玩玩同题翻译的游戏,以前这里搞过不少,你查查旧帖看看。:)
