Convergence of the Twain

合二为一

(Lines on the loss of the Titanic)

(“泰坦尼克号”失事所感)

Thomas Hardy

托马斯·哈代

I

(一)

In a solitude of the sea

远离人间的虚荣

Deep from human vanity,

抛开生命的全盛,

And the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she.

她静静的躺在大海的孤独之中。

II

(二)

Steel chambers, late the pyres

钢铁的房屋,新近的火堆,

Of her salamandrine fires,

她的火如同火舌,

Cold currents thrid, and turn to rhythmic tidal lyres.

穿透股股冷流,变成富有节奏的琴声般的潮水。

III

(三)

Over the mirrors meant

在镜子上方

To glass the opulent

(它用来映照辽阔景象),

The sea-worm crawls——grotesque, slimed, dumb, indifferent.

海虫蝙行——怪诞、粘滑、无窗、冷淡。

IV

(四)

Jewels in joy designed

为了陶醉敏感的心灵

To ravish the sensuous mind

而在喜悦中设计的珍品

Lie lightless, all their sparkles bleared and black and blind.

无光的躺着,迷糊、黑暗、迟钝。

V

(五)

Dim moon-eyed fishes near

眼睛朦胧的鱼停在附近,

Gaze at the gilded gear

凝视涂上金色的齿轮,

And query: "What does this vaingloriousness down here?". . .

发出“这个豪华巨物在干什么?”的询问

VI

(六)

Well: while was fashioning

好吧:当正在研制

This creature of cleaving wing,

这破浪而行的物体,

The Immanent Will that stirs and urges everything

激动的、催促万物的上帝意志

VII

(七)

Prepared a sinister mate

为她——如此快乐的巨体——

For her——so gaily great——

准备了一个阴险的伴侣——

A Shape of Ice, for the time fat and dissociate

冰的形象,为了遥远的、分离的时期。

VIII

(八)

And as the smart ship grew

随着潇洒的船的形象

In stature, grace, and hue

优雅地茁壮成长,

In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too.

冰山也成长在幽暗的寂静的远方。

IX

(九)

Alien they seemed to be:

他们似乎显得相异:

No mortal eye could see

没有世间的视力

The intimate welding of their later history.

能看见他们后期历史溶成内在的整体,

X

(十)

Or sign that they were bent

或表示他们被系于

By paths coincident

一致的道路,

On being anon twin halves of one August event,

形成以后的威严事件的两个分部,

XI

(十一)

Till the Spinner of the Years

直至“岁月编织者”发出命令:

Said "Now!" And each one hears,

“好了”,于是人人听清,

And consummation comes, and jars two hemispheres.

于是终结降临,使两个半球震惊。
