苏菲英译 汪国真代表作《热爱生命》

苏菲

【中国】汪国真
               《热爱生命》


我不去想是否能够成功
既然选择了远方
便只顾风雨兼程
我不去想能否赢得爱情
既然钟情于玫瑰
就勇敢地吐露真诚
我不去想身后会不会袭来寒风冷雨
既然目标是地平线
留给世界的只能是背影
我不去想未来是平坦还是泥泞
只要热爱生命
一切，都在意料之中


【China】 Wang Guozhen
                                  Love My Life

I don’t want to think about whether I will succeed or not
Since I have chosen to go to a place far away
I’m surely absorbed in marching forward regardless of hardship
I don’t want to think about whether I will win my love or not
Since I have fallen in love with a rose
I will bravely tell her my sincerity
I don’t want to think about whether the chilly wind and cold rain will hit me or not behind me  
Since my destination is the horizon
What I can leave to the world is only my figure
I don’t want to think about whether my future is flat or muddy
As long as I love my life
All, will be in my expectation

叶如钢

I love life

叶如钢译


Whether to succeed or fail do I not worry
Far and away are places I have chosen
There will I go, whether through wind or rain
Whether to be able to get love do I not ponder
Having fallen for the rose
Bravely bare my heart I will
How chilly wind and rain will be do I not consider
Now that the horizon is my destiny
I will leave the world behind to look merely at my back
Whether the road to future is smooth or muddy do I not care
As long as we love life
All will come along as expected

谢谢分享！那这首诗翻译成英语，怎么翻译？

《异乡人》

《异乡人》

他没有回头
或者放缓离去的身影
记忆总是往一条河的方向
默默流淌

一些尘烟被风吹散
鸟停留在岸边的树上

一个人的远方
便是异乡
两个不同的村庄
夜晚，是否也有两轮不同的月亮


A Stranger

叶如钢译

He didn't look back
Neither did he slow down his pace of walking away
Memory always flows silently
in the direction of a river

Some dust is being scattered by wind
Birds are staying on the trees of the river bank

In the distance
there lie foreign lands
In two different villages,
does one see in the evening
two different moons?

风也

谢谢分享！

"I love my life" 与该诗的涵义不符。可以用“I love life"  或者"We love life".
"Love my life" 没有主语。 标题不能这样写。

   I love life

I do not care whether to succeed or fail
Now that I have chosen places far and away
I will go there through wind and rain
I do not ponder whether to be able to win my love
Now that I have fallen for the rose
I will bravely bare my heart
I do not worry whether chilly wind and cold rain will attack
Now that the horizon is my destiny
I will leave the world behind to look merely at my back
I do not consider whether the road to future is smooth or muddy
As long as we love life
All will come along as expected

注： consider, ponder, worry, care 从蒲必达译借用。
chilly wind and cold rain  从苏菲译借用。

班门弄斧，供大家批判。

A Psalm of life
蒲必达译

I do not consider whether I will succeed or not
Since I dream about a place far and beyond
I will travel with rain and wind, cold or hot

I do not ponder whether I can win your love or not
Since I have a passion for the rose
I will reveal without shame my sincere thought

I do not worry whether there is any hidden attack
Since my destiny is the horizon
What left can only be the shadow of my back

I do not care whether the future is gloomy or great
With a loving heart, I will
Be against all odds, and accept any fate

我同意叶如钢的意见。

I leave my figure to the world

谢谢必达。 The world can only see my back---可以这样翻译的。另外可以参考
下面这首圣歌：

I’ve turned my back upon the world


I’ve turned my back upon the world
  With all its idle pleasures,
And set my heart on better things,
  On higher, holier treasures;
No more its glitter and its glare,
  And vanity shall blind me;
I’ve crossed the separating line,
  And left the world behind me.
  Far, far behind me!
  Far, far behind me!
I’ve crossed the separating line,
  And left the world behind me.

2
I’ve left the old sad life of sin,
  Its follies all forsaken;
My standing place is now in Christ,
  His holy vows I’ve taken;
Beneath the standard of the cross
  The world henceforth shall find me;
I’ve passed in Christ from death to life,
  And left the world behind me.
  Far, far behind me!
  Far, far behind me!
I’ve passed in Christ from death to life,
    And left the world behind me.

3
My soul shall ne’er return again
  Back to its former station
For here alone is perfect peace,
  And rest from condemnation;
I’ve made exchange of masters now,
  The vows of glory bind me,
And once for all I’ve left the world,
  Yes, left the world behind me.
  Far, far behind me!
  Far, far behind me!
And once for all I’ve left the world,
    Yes, left the world behind me.

4
My choice is made forevermore,
  I want no other Savior;
I ask no purer happiness
  Than His sweet love and favor;
My heart is fixed on Jesus Christ,
  No more the world shall blind me;
I’ve crossed the Red Sea of His death,
  And left the world behind me.
  Far, far behind me!
  Far, far behind me!
I’ve crossed the Red Sea of His death,
  And left the world behind me.
