No Second

Troy 

by William Butler Yeats

Why should I blame her that she filled my days 

With misery, or that she would of late 

Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways, 

Or hurled the little streets upon the great, 

Had they but courage equal to desire? 

What could have made her peaceful with a mind 

That nobleness made simple as a fire, 

With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind 

That is not natural in an age like this, 

Being high and solitary and most stern? 

Why, what could she have done, being what she is? 

Was there another Troy for her to burn?

Many people lose the small joys in the hope

for the big happiness. (Pearl S. Buck)

 

很多人都期盼着大幸福，却丢掉了自己的小快乐。（赛珍珠）

阿道司.赫胥黎(Aldous Leonard Huxley, 1894年7月26日－1963年11月22日)英格兰作家，属于著名的赫胥黎家族。祖父是著名生物学家、进化论支持者托马斯·亨利·赫胥黎(Thomas

Henry Huxley, 1825—1895)。

少时就读于伊顿公学，后毕业于牛津大学的巴利俄尔学院。他下半生在美国生活，1937年移居洛杉矶，在那里生活到1963年去世。曾想做医生，却因为视力障碍改变初衷，从事了文学。作为生物学家的儿子，他从小受到良好的教育。他对人类生活中的矛盾具有超人的预见力。尽管一次眼疾几乎让他视力全失，但在学习了盲文后，他逐步开始写作，先后创作了许多脍炙人口的小说，并在20年代成为一个明星人物。

他以小说和大量散文作品闻名于世，也出版短篇小说、游记、电影故事和剧本。通过他的小说和散文，赫胥黎充当了社会道德、标准和理想的拷问人，有时候也是批评家。赫胥黎是一个人文主义者，但是在晚年也对通灵题目如超心理学和哲学和神秘主义感兴趣。在人生的最后阶段，赫胥黎在一些学术圈被认为是现代思想的领导者，位列当时最杰出的知识分子行列。

他在1932年创作的《美丽新世界》让他名留青史。

著名作品有长篇小说: 《铬黄》(1921)、《男女滑稽圆舞》(1923)、《光秃秃的树叶》(1925)、《点对点》(1923)、《瞎了眼睛在噶扎》(1936)、《几个夏季之后》(1939)、《时间须静止》(1944)、《天才与女神》(1955)、《岛》(1962)等。

Taverna on the

Beach

Theo Dorgan

 

Pomegranate thumbed open to reveal

generations,

apple split to its white heart of flesh.

Ultramarine waters lap at stone,

lacing our days of light with drift of

salt.

All night we cry and laugh and you

taste ash of apple on my skin-

delighting in apple, pomegranate, light and

salt.

 

Deep in your veins you carry light and

salt,

testing the fruit, breath pulsing under

skin,

and unexpected urgencies push through-

laughter a remedy for the deep fault

under the streets, the reek of ancient

stone.

All that the heart and mind can learn from

flesh

piled

in a rampart against the dead generations.

The wise never marry and when they marry

they become otherwise. (George Bernard Shaw)

 

明白人从不结婚，结了婚就不明白了。（萧伯纳）

The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that， the passing

there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Progress is the activity of today and the

assurance of tomorrow. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

 

进步是今天的活动、明天的保证。（拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生）

李大钊此文载于1923年12月20日《新民国》第1卷第2号上，短小隽永，堪称一首诗意盎然的抒情散文诗。作者用象征、比喻等手法，说明历史发展的必然规律以及中国革命面临的艰难险阻。张培基先生的译文除了文字须符合英语规范外，力求传达原文的形象、诗一般的美感和雍容警策的笔调。

沁园春·长沙

毛泽东

 

独立寒秋，湘江北去，橘子洲头。

看万山红遍，层林尽染；

漫江碧透，百舸争流。

鹰击长空，鱼翔浅底，万类霜天竞自由。

怅寥廓，问苍茫大地，谁主沉浮？

携来百侣曾游，忆往昔峥嵘岁月稠。

恰同学少年，风华正茂；

书生意气，挥斥方遒。

指点江山，激扬文字，粪土当年万户侯。

曾记否，到中流击水，浪遏飞舟！

 

Changsha Tune: Spring in A Pleasure Garden

Mao Zedong

(translated by Xu Yuanchong)

 

In autumn cold stand I

Of Orange Islet at the head

Where River Xiang northward goes by

I see hill on hill all in red

And wood on wood in a deep dye

The rivergreen down to the bed

In speed a hundred barges vie

Far and wide eagles cleave the blue

Up and down fish in shallows glide

All creatures strive for freedom under

frosty skies

Lost in immensity, I wonder who

Upon this boundless earth, decide

All beings’ fall and rise.

 

With many friends I oft came here

How thick with salient days the bygones

times appear

When, students in the flower of our age

Our spirit bright was at its height

Full of the scholar s notable rage

We criticized with all our might

Pointing to stream and hill

Writing in blame or praise

We treat’d like dirt all mighty lords of old

days

Do you remember still

Swimming mid-stream, we struck waves to

impede

That boats which passed at flying speed?
