Sandy Zhang｜每周诵读239《恋海》作者：约翰·梅斯菲尔德【英】

Sandy Zhang

这首诗告诉我们，不要忘记生命的本真，不要忘记去追寻那些属于自己的星辰与大海。

“恬静入睡，好梦相伴”，让我们感受到一种深刻的生命循环：在经历风浪与冒险后，我们终将回归宁静，而这宁静中却带着丰盈的梦。

《恋海》

约翰·梅斯菲尔德

翻译：黍黎释

‍

我必须再去看海，看那幽静的大海和蓝天

我只需一艘高大的帆船和星星为它指引

船舵轮转，风中歌唱，白帆疾驶

海雾弥漫，曙光拂晓

‍

我必须再去看海，去感受那汹涌的潮水翻腾

令我无法拒绝

海风伴着白云飞舞

海浪腾涌，浪花飞溅，海鸥啼叫

‍

我必须再去看海，像吉普赛人流浪

‍像海鸥那样，像鲸鱼那样，那里海风刺骨

听笑谈的同伴讲趣事

当长长的恶作剧结束

恬静入睡，好梦相伴

Sea-Fever

By John Masefield

‍

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

‍

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

‍

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
