試譯Christina Rossetti詩：“Echo”
【參考並採用了一些枚綠金的譯文，我試著用直譯的方式希望能將這首詩譯得白話一些。】
迴響
在夜的沉靜裡，來到我身邊
在夢的靜默言語裡，來到我身邊
帶著柔潤的雙頰和那如同
陽光灑落在溪流般的明眸，來到我身邊。
帶著含淚的雙眼，回到我身邊，
啊！回憶，希望，已逝去的那些年的愛。
啊！多麼甜美的夢，太甜美，甜到帶著苦味，
被喚醒後都應該是在天堂，
在那裡，盈滿了愛的靈魂等待並相遇；
在那裡，如口渴般熱望的眼
注視著那低重的大門
那門敞開，只進不出，不再能離開。
來，來到我的夢裡，這樣我才能再一次
真正地活著，即使是在死亡的寒冷之中：
回到我的夢裡，這樣我才能給你
脈搏以脈搏，呼吸以呼吸：
低語，倚臥
就像從前，我的愛，好久好久以前。
Echo
Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope, love of finished years.
O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet,
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brimfull of love abide and meet;
Where thirsting longing eyes
Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.
Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again though cold in death:
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low
As long ago, my love, how long ago.
