译庞德《舞女》

落阡

舞女
庞德
为《加利利的迦南婚礼》而作

黑眼睛
哦我梦中的女人，
象牙的木屐
那些舞者中没有一个人像你，
脚步如飞。

我在帐篷中找不到你，
在破碎的黑暗中。
我在井边的人群中找不到你
在拎着水罐的女人中间。

你的手臂像树皮下的嫩枝；
你的脸像灯光闪耀的河流。

你的双肩白如杏仁；
白如刚剥出壳的杏仁。
他们没有让太监护卫你；
没有用黄铜栅栏。

镶金的绿松石和银器在你歇息之处。
一件褐色长袍，用金线绣花，将你裹起，
哦纳塔-伊卡奈，“河边的树。”

像河水流过莎草你的手在我身上；
你的手是凝冻的溪流。

你的女侍白得像卵石;
她们的音乐环绕你！

那些舞者中没有一个人像你；
脚步如飞。


Dance Figure
For the Marriage in Cana of Galilee

Dark-eyed,
O woman of my dreams,
Ivory sandalled,
There is none like thee among the dancers,
None with swift feet.
I have not found thee in the tents,
In the broken darkness.
I have not found thee at the well-head
Among the women with pitchers.
Thine arms are as a young sapling under the bark;
Thy face as a river with lights.

White as an almond are thy shoulders;
As new almonds stripped from the husk.
They guard thee not with eunuchs;
Not with bars of copper.

Gilt turquoise and silver are in the place of thy rest.
A brown robe, with threads of gold woven in
patterns, hast thou gathered about thee,
O Nathat-Ikanaie, 'Tree-at-the-river'.

As a rillet among the sedge are thy hands upon me;
Thy fingers a frosted stream.

Thy maidens are white like pebbles;
Their music about thee!

There is none like thee among the dancers;
None with swift feet.
