一路向西

林水云风

Stepping Westward
Wordsworth

While my Fellow-traveller and I were walking by the side of Loch Ketterine，one fine evening after sunset，in our road to a Hut where，in the course of our Tour，we had been hospitably entertained some weeks before，we met，in one of the loneliest parts of that solitary region，two well-dressed Women，one of whom said to us，by way of greeting，‘What，you are stepping westward?’➀

‘What，you are stepping westward?’—‘Yea.’
—’Twould be a wildish destiny，
If we，who thus together roam
In a strange Land，and far from home，
Were in this place the guests of Chance:
Yet who would stop，or fear to advance，
Though home or shelter he had none，
With such a sky to lead him on?

The dewy ground was dark and cold；
Behind，all gloomy to behold；
And stepping westward seemed to be
A kind of heavenly destiny:
I liked the greeting；’twas a sound
Of something without place or bound；
And seemed to give me spiritual right
To travel through that region bright.

The voice was soft，and she who spake
Was walking by her native lake:
The salutation had to me
The very sound of courtesy:
Its power was felt；and while my eye
Was fixed upon the glowing Sky，
The echo of the voice enwrought
A human sweetness with the thought
Of travelling through the world that lay
Before me in my endless way.

一路向西
华兹华斯  林水云风译

一个太阳落山的傍晚，我与旅伴沿凯特林湖畔前往一处村舍（几周前，我们到过那里，受到殷勤款待）；在幽僻的路上，我们遇见二位穿着漂亮的女士，一位向我们打招呼说：“怎么，你们往西走？”

“怎么，你们往西走？”
“是的。”——我们来自远方，
云游异乡，但要是全凭运气
到此漫无目标的游荡，
那未免有些轻率，
但有上苍指引着方向，
哪怕一路没有村舍客栈，
我们也不会停步，不会彷徨。

下着露水的地上阴暗湿冷，
身后是满目的迷惘，
一路向西好像是
沿冥冥之中的天意而徜徉，
我喜欢那一声招呼，
那像是说前方无垠无疆，
并且给我精神的激励，
让我勇往直前，走进光芒。

她走在家乡的湖畔，
那一声招呼温柔意长，
让我深深地感动，
彬彬的礼让及鞭策的力量，
当我注目凝视那燃烧的云霞，
那一声回音还在我的耳旁，
散发着人性的甜美，
更传递着坚定的思想，
不管人生之旅怎样漫长崎岖，
我一定要向前，走遍四方。

云风注：诗人将一次游历提炼为人生之旅，在每段末都强调要前行，而且一次比一次加重意志和力量。诗人认为他的人生之旅，是他个性、天意及贵人的安排，使他义无反顾走下去。
