One’s-Self I Sing
Walt Whitman
One’s-self I sing,a simple separate person,
Yet utter the word Democratic,the word En-Masse.
Of physiology from top to toe I sing,
Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse,I say the Form complete is worthier far,
The Female equally with the Male I sing.
Of Life immense in passion,pulse,and power,
Cheerful,for freest action form’d under the laws divine,
The Modern Man I sing.
1867/1871
我歌唱自身
惠特曼
我歌唱自身,一个平凡独立的人,
但是表达了民主的精神以及大众的声音。
我歌唱生理上从头到脚的人,
值得献给诗神的不仅是容貌,不仅是灵魂,我认为应该是整个的灵肉之身,
我歌唱与男人平等的女人。
充满激情、意志、力量的生命,
欢呼雀跃,在神圣的法则下纵横畅行,
我歌唱现代人。
1867/1871
