The Sail
Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov
《帆》
莱蒙托夫
A lonely sail is flashing white
蔚蓝的海面雾霭茫茫,
Amidst the blue mist of the sea!...
孤独的帆儿闪着白光!……
What does it seek in foreign lands?
它到遥远的异地寻找着什么,
What did it leave behind at home?..
它把什么抛在故乡?……
Waves heave, wind whistles,
呼啸的海风翻卷着波浪,
The mast, it bends and creaks...
桅杆弓着腰在嘎吱作响……
Alas, it seeks not happiness
唉,它不是要寻找幸福,
Nor happiness does it escape!
也不是逃避幸福的乐疆!
Below, a current ‘azure bright,
下面涌着清澈的碧波,
Above, a golden ray of sun...
上面洒着金色的阳光……
Rebellious, it seeks out a storm
不安分的帆儿却祈求风暴,
As if in storms it could find peace!
仿佛风暴里有宁静之邦!
