经典英汉美文欣赏泰戈尔新月集之九孩童之道 BABY'S WAYRabindranath Tagore泰戈尔IF baby only wanted to, he could fly up to heaven this moment.只要孩子愿意，他此刻便可飞上天去。It is not for nothing that he does not leave us.他所以不离开我们，并不是没有缘故。He loves to rest his head on mother's bosom, and cannot ever bear to lose sight of her.他爱把他的头倚在妈妈的胸间，他即使是一刻不见她，也是不行的。Baby knows all manner of wise words, though few on earth can understand their meaning.孩子知道各式各样的聪明话，虽然世间的人很少懂得这些话的意义。It is not for nothing that he never wants to speak.他所以永不想说，并不是没有缘故。The one thing he wants is to learn mother's words from mother's lips. That is why he looks so innocent.他所要做的一件事，就是要学习从妈妈的嘴唇里说出来的话。那就是他所以看来这样天真的缘故。Baby had a heap of gold and pearls, yet he came like a beggar on to this earth.孩子有成堆的黄金与珠子，但他到这个世界上来，却像一个乞丐。It is not for nothing he came in such a disguise.他所以这样假装了来，并不是没有缘故。This dear little naked mendicant pretends to be utterly helpless, so that he may beg for mother's wealth of love.这个可爱的小小的裸着身体的乞丐，所以假装着完全无助的样子，便是想要乞求妈妈的爱的财富。Baby was so free from every tie in the land of the tiny crescent moon.孩子在纤小的新月的世界里，是一切束缚都没有的。It was not for nothing he gave up his freedom.他所以放弃了他的自由，并不是没有缘故。He knows that there is room for endless joy in mother's little corner of a heart, and it is sweeter far than liberty to be caught and pressed in her dear arms.他知道有无穷的快乐藏在妈妈的心的小小一隅里，被妈妈亲爱的手臂所拥抱，其甜美远胜过自由。Baby never knew how to cry. He dwelt in the land of perfect bliss.孩子永不知道如何哭泣。他所住的是完全的乐土。It is not for nothing he has chosen to shed tears.他所以要流泪，并不是没有缘故。Though with the smile of his dear face he draws mother's yearning heart to him, yet his little cries over tiny troubles weave the double bond of pity and love.虽然他用了可爱的脸儿上的微笑，引逗得他妈妈的热切的心向着他，然而他的因为细故而发的小小的哭声，却编成了怜与爱的双重约束的带子。

＜＜飞 鸟 集＞＞ 泰戈尔 1 夏天的飞鸟，飞到我的窗前唱歌，又飞去了。 秋天的黄叶，它们没有什么可唱，只叹息一声，飞落在那里。 Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign. 2 世界上的一队小小的漂泊者呀，请留下你们的足印在我的文字里。 O Troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words. 3 世界对着它的爱人，把它浩翰的面具揭下了。 它变小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻。 The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal. 4 是大地的泪点，使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。 It is the tears of the earth that keep here smiles in bloom. 5 无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱，她摇摇头笑着飞开了。 The mighty desert is burning for the love of a bladeof grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away. 6 如果你因失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。 If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. 7 跳舞着的流水呀，在你途中的泥沙，要求你的歌声，你的流动呢。你肯挟 瘸足的泥沙而俱下么？ The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness? 8 她的热切的脸，如夜雨似的，搅扰着我的梦魂。 Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. 9 有一次，我们梦见大家都是不相识的。 我们醒了，却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。 Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. 10 忧思在我的心里平静下去，正如暮色降临在寂静的山林中。 Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees. 11 有些看不见的手，如懒懒的微（风思）的，正在我的心上奏着 潺（氵爰）的乐声。 Some unseen fingers, like an idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples. 12 “海水呀，你说的是什么？” “是永恒的疑问。” “天空呀，你回答的话是什么？” “是永恒的沉默。” What language is thine, O sea? The language of eternal question. What language is thy answer, O sky? The language of eternal silence. 13 静静地听，我的心呀，听那世界的低语，这是它对你求爱的表示呀。 Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you. 14 创造的神秘，有如夜间的黑暗－－是伟大的。而知识的幻影却不过如晨间 之雾。 The mystery of creation is like the darkness of night--it is great. Delusions of knowledge are like the fog of the morning. 15 不要因为峭壁是高的，便让你的爱情坐在峭壁上。 Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high. 16 我今晨坐在窗前，世界如一个路人似的，停留了一会，向我点点头又走过 去了。 I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes. 17 这些微（风思），是树叶的簌簌之声呀；它们在我的心里欢悦地微语着。 There little thoughts are the rustle of leaves; they have their whisper of joy in my mind. 18 你看不见你自己，你所看见的只是你的影子。 What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow. 19 神呀，我的那些愿望真是愚傻呀，它们杂在你的歌声中喧叫着呢。 让我只是静听着吧。 My wishes are fools, they shout across thy song, my Master. Let me but listen. 20 我不能选择那最好的。 是那最好的选择我。 I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me. 21 那些把灯背在背上的人，把他们的影子投到了自己前面。 They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back. 22 我的存在，对我是一个永久的神奇，这就是生活。 That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life. 23 “我们萧萧的树叶都有声响回答那风和雨。你是谁呢，那样的沉默着？” “我不过是一朵花。” We, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?" I am a mere flower. 24 休息与工作的关系，正如眼睑与眼睛的关系。 Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes. 25 人是一个初生的孩子，他的力量，就是生长的力量。 Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth. 26 神希望我们酬答他，在于他送给我们的花朵，而不在于太阳和土地。 God expects answers for the flowers he sends us, not for the sun the earth. 27 光明如一个裸体的孩子，快快活活地在绿叶当中游戏，它不知道人是会欺 诈的。 The light that plays, like a naked child, among the green leaves happily knows not that man can lie. 28 啊，美呀，在爱中找你自己吧，不要到你镜子的谄谀去找寻。 O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror. 29 我的心把她的波浪在世界的海岸上冲激着，以热泪在上边写着她的题记： “我爱你。” My heart beats her waves at the shore of the world and writes upon it her signature in tears with the words, "I love thee." 30 “月儿呀，你在等候什么呢？” “向我将让位给他的太阳致敬。” Moon, for what do you wait? To salute the sun for whom I must make way. 31 绿树长到了我的窗前，仿佛是喑哑的大地发出的渴望的声音。 The trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth. 32 神自己的清晨，在他自己看来也是新奇的。 His own mornings are new surprises to God. 33 生命从世界得到资产，爱情使它得到价值。 Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love. 34 枯竭的河床，并不感谢它的过去。 The dry river-bed finds no thanks for its past. 35 鸟儿愿为一朵云。 云儿愿为一只鸟。 The bird wishes it were a cloud. The cloud wishes it were a bird. 36 瀑布歌唱道：“我得到自由时便有了歌声了。” The waterfall sing, "I find my song, when I find my freedom." 37 我说不出这心为什么那样默默地颓丧着。 是为了它那不曾要求，不曾知道，不曾记得的小小的需要。 I cannot tell why this heart languishes in silence. It is for small needs it never asks, or knows or remembers. 38 妇人，你在料理家务的时候，你的手足歌唱着，正如山间的溪水歌唱着在 小石中流过。 Woman, when you move about in your household service your limbs sing like a hill stream among its pebbles. 39 当太阳横过西方的海面时，对着东方留下他的最后的敬礼。 The sun goes to cross the Western sea, leaving its last salutation to the East. 40 不要因为你自己没有胃口而去责备你的食物。 Do not blame your food because you have no appetite. 41 群树如表示大地的愿望似的，踮起脚来向天空窥望。 The trees, like the longings of the earth, stand atiptoe to peep at the heaven. 42 你微微地笑着，不同我说什么话。而我觉得，为了这个，我已等待得久了。 You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long. 43 水里的游鱼是沉默的，陆地上的兽类是喧闹的，空中的飞鸟是歌唱着的。 但是，人类却兼有海里的沉默，地上的喧闹与空中的音乐。 The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air. 44 世界在踌躇之心的琴弦上跑过去，奏出忧郁的乐声。 The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. 45 他把他的刀剑当作他的上帝。 当他的刀剑胜利的时候他自己却失败了。 He has made his weapons his gods. When his weapons win he is defeated himself.

Paper boatsBy Rabindranath TagoreDay by day I float my paper boats one by one down the running stream.In big black letters I write my name on them and the name of the village where I live.I hope that someone in some strange land will find them and know who I am.I load my little boats with Shiuli flowers from our garden, and hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely to land in the night.I launch my paper boats and look up into the sky and see the little clouds setting their white bulging sails.I know not what playmate of mine in the sky sends them down the air to race with my boats!When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars.The fairies of sleep are sailing in them, and the lading is their baskets full of dreams.纸 船作者：罗宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔我每天把纸船一个个放在急流的溪中。我用大黑字写我的名字和我住的村名在纸船上。我希望住在异地的人会得到这纸船，知道我是谁。我把园中长的秀利花载在我的小船上，希望这些黎明开的花能在夜里被平平安安地带到岸上。我投我的纸船到水里，仰望天空，看见小朵的云正张着满鼓着风的白帆。我不知道天上有我的什么游伴把这些船放下来同我的船比赛！夜来了，我的脸埋在手臂里，梦见我的纸船在子夜的星光下缓缓地浮泛前去。睡仙坐在船里，带着满载着梦的篮子。拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔（1861年—1941年），印度诗人、文学家、社会活动家、哲学家和印度民族主义者。代表作有《吉檀迦利》、《飞鸟集》、《眼中沙》、《四个人》、《家庭与世界》、《园丁集》、《新月集》、《最后的诗篇》、《戈拉》、《文明的危机》等。 [1] 1861年5月7日，拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔出生于印度加尔各答一个富有的贵族家庭，13岁即能创作长诗和颂歌体诗集。1878年赴英国留学，1880年回国专门从事文学活动。1884至1911年担任梵 社秘书，20年代创办国际大学。1913年，他以《吉檀迦利》成为第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的亚洲人。1941年写作控诉英国殖民统治和相信祖国必将获得独立解放的遗言《文明的危机》。 赏析：《纸船》是《新月集》中有代表性的一首。这首诗充满童稚的想象，细腻的刻画了孩子天真可爱富于幻想的性格和心理。为了突出想象的事物，突出富有儿童特点的种种动人情态和奇思妙想，诗人注意运用限制、修饰性词语。比如，纸船是“用大黑字写我的名字和我住的村名”的纸船；花是“黎明开的”；篮子是“满载着梦的”，夜里，我的纸船“在子夜的星光下缓缓地”浮泛前去。这些词或短语不仅使我的奇思妙想明确突出，而且形象、具体，使童趣更浓。《新月集》是一部描写儿童生活情趣和内心世界的散文诗集。 《孩子的世界》、《开始》、《金色花》、《告别》等篇什，是泰戈尔《新月集》里有代表性的几篇诗作，塑造了一个迷人的儿童世界。《新月集》是泰戈尔一部著名的儿童散文诗集，也是他众多散文诗的第一本。出版于1886年。当时，风华正茂的泰戈尔，正值春风得意。他的第一个女儿刚好降生，事业上也不断取得成功。温馨的家庭，锦绣的前程，使得青年诗人身心愉悦。正是在这样的背景下，他写了这本著名诗集。诗集问世之后，泰戈尔也因此被誉为“儿童诗人”。 诗集里着力描绘的是一个个天真可爱的儿童。诗人致力讴歌的是人类生活中最为宝贵的东西――童真。他以天才之笔塑造了一批神形兼备、熠熠闪光的天使般的儿童艺术形象。这是诗人对世界儿童文学的一大奉献！写作背景：1908年到1919年间，印度民族解放运动陷入低潮。泰戈尔因与领导民族自治运动的国大党领袖们发生意见分歧，主要反映在农村问题、宗教教源问题以及斗争方式等问题上，因而退出运动，于1907年回到家乡圣地尼克坦从事民族教育和文艺创作。这时期他出版了一系列诗歌、小说、剧本、歌曲、书信和杂文等著作。其中，他的哲理诗，可以说代表着诗人在这一阶段的思想特色：即通过宗教、哲学、伦理道德等途径来实现社会改造这一任务，而爱则是人类的社会理想。《新月集》就是宣传人类爱的产物。

1、生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and deathlike autumn leaves。2、有一次，我们梦见大家都是不相识的。我们醒了，却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。Once we dreamt that we were strangers。 We wake up to find that we were dear to each other。3、我的心是旷野的鸟，在你的眼睛里找到了天空。My heart， the bird of thewilderness， has found its sky in your eyes。/4、是大地的泪点，使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles inbloom。5、如果你因失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。If you shed tears when you miss the sun， you also miss the stars。/6、你看不见你自己，你所看见的只是你的影子。What you are you do not see，what you see is your shadow。/7、瀑布歌唱道：我得到自由时便有了歌声了。The waterfall sing， I find mysong， when I find my freedom。/8、你微微地笑着，不同我说什么话。而我觉得，为了这个，我已等待得久了。You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I feltthat for this I had been waiting long。/9、人不能在他的历史中表现出他自己，他在历史中奋斗着露出头角。Man does not reveal himself in his history， he struggles up through it。/10、我们如海鸥之与波涛相遇似地，遇见了，走近了。海鸥飞去，波涛滚滚地流开，我们也分别了。Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves wemeet and come near。The seagulls fly off， the waves roll away and we depart。

they have their whisper of joy in my mind. 18 你看不见你自己，你所看见的只是你的影子。 what you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow. 19 神呀，我的那些愿望真是愚傻呀，它们杂在你的歌声中喧叫着呢。 让我只是静听着吧。 my wishes are fools, they shout across thy song, my master. let me but listen. 20 我不能选择那最好的。 是那最好的选择我。 i cannot choose the best. the best chooses me. 21 那些把灯背在背上的人，把他们的影子投到了自己前面。 they throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back. 22 我的存在，对我是一个永久的神奇，这就是生活。 that i exist is a perpetual surprise which is life. 23 “我们萧萧的树叶都有声响回答那风和雨。你是谁呢，那样的沉默着？” “我不过是一朵花。” we, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?"i am a mere flower. 24 休息与工作的关系，正如眼睑与眼睛的关系。 rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes. 25 人是一个初生的孩子，他的力量，就是生长的力量。 man is a born child, his power is the power of growth. 26 神希望我们酬答他，在于他送给我们的花朵，而不在于太阳和土地。 god expects answers for the flowers he sends us, not for the sun the earth. 27 光明如一个裸体的孩子，快快活活地在绿叶当中游戏，它不知道人是会欺诈的。 the light that plays, like a naked child, among the green leaves happily knows not that man can lie. 28 啊，美呀，在爱中找你自己吧，不要到你镜子的谄谀去找寻。 o beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror. 29 我的心把她的波浪在世界的海岸上冲激着，以热泪在上边写着她的题记：“我爱你。” my heart beats her waves at the shore of the world and writes upon it her signature in tears with the words, "i love thee." 30 “月儿呀，你在等候什么呢？” “向我将让位给他的太阳致敬。” moon, for what do you wait?to salute the sun for whom i must make way. 31 绿树长到了我的窗前，仿佛是喑哑的大地发出的渴望的声音。 the trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth. 32 神自己的清晨，在他自己看来也是新奇的。 his own mornings are new surprises to god. 33 生命从世界得到资产，爱情使它得到价值。 life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love. 34 枯竭的河床，并不感谢它的过去。 the dry river-bed finds no thanks for its past. 35 鸟儿愿为一朵云。 云儿愿为一只鸟。 the bird wishes it were a cloud. the cloud wishes it were a bird. 36 瀑布歌唱道：“我得到自由时便有了歌声了。” the waterfall sing, "i find my song, when i find my freedom." 37 我说不出这心为什么那样默默地颓丧着。 是为了它那不曾要求，不曾知道，不曾记得的小小的需要。 i cannot tell why this heart languishes in silence. it is for small needs it never asks, or knows or remembers. 38 妇人，你在料理家务的时候，你的手足歌唱着，正如山间的溪水歌唱着在小石中流过。 woman, when you move about in your household service your limbs sing like a hill stream among its pebbles. 39 当太阳横过西方的海面时，对着东方留下他的最后的敬礼。 the sun goes to cross the western sea, leaving its last salutation to the east. 40 不要因为你自己没有胃口而去责备你的食物。 do not blame your food because you have no appetite. 41 群树如表示大地的愿望似的，踮起脚来向天空窥望。 the trees, like the longings of the earth, stand atiptoe to peep at the heaven. 42 你微微地笑着，不同我说什么话。而我觉得，为了这个，我已等待得久了。 you smiled and talked to me of nothing and i felt that for this i had been waiting long. 43 水里的游鱼是沉默的，陆地上的兽类是喧闹的，空中的飞鸟是歌唱着的。 但是，人类却兼有海里的沉默，地上的喧闹与空中的音乐。 the fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. but man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air. 44 世界在踌躇之心的琴弦上跑过去，奏出忧郁的乐声。 the world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. 45 他把他的刀剑当作他的上帝。 当他的刀剑胜利的时候他自己却失败了。 he has made his weapons his gods. when his weapons win he is defeated himself. 46 神从创造中找到他自己。 god finds himself by creating. 47 阴影戴上她的面幕，秘密地，温顺地，用她的沉默的爱的脚步，跟在“光”后边。 shadow, with her veil drawn, follows light in secret meekness, with her silent steps of love. 48 群星不怕显得象萤火那样。 the stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies. 49 谢谢神，我不是一个权力的轮子，而是被压在这轮子下的活人之一。 i thank thee that i am none of the wheels of power but i am one with the living creatures that are crushed by it. 50 心是尖锐的，不是宽博的，它执着在每一点上，却并不活动。 the mind, sharp but not broad, sticks at every point but does not move. 51 你的偶像委散在尘土中了，这可证明神的尘土比你的偶像还伟大。 you idol is shattered in the dust to prove that god's dust is greater than your idol. 52 人不能在他的历史中表现出他自己，他在历史中奋斗着露出头角。 man does not reveal himself in his history, he struggles up through it. 53 玻璃灯因为瓦灯叫它做表兄而责备瓦灯。但明月出来时，玻璃 灯却温和地微笑着，叫明月为－－－“我亲爱的，亲爱的姐姐。” while the glass lamp rebukes the earthen for calling it cousin the moon rises, and the glass lamp, with a bland smile, calls her,---my dear, dear sister. 54 我们如海鸥之与波涛相遇似地，遇见了，走近了。海鸥飞去，波涛滚滚地流开，我们也分别了。 like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near. the seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart.
